GLORY OF ENKHOUSEN CABBAGE. 



Glory of Enkhousen 



An Early Round, Solid Head 

 Cabbage of Superior Merit 



This new Cabbage, Glory of Enkhousen, originated in Holland; in 

 season it Is very early, in fact as early as the Early Flat Dutch, with 

 heads frequently twice as large, and weighing three times as much. 

 The large sized, ball shaped heads are very firm and solid, leaves being 

 fine ribbed and exceedingly tender. It is a dwarf and compact grower, 

 allowing close planting; in fact some of its enthusiastic admirers claim 

 it will yield more tons per acre than any other variety on account of close 

 planting. This is not only a valuable early sort, but it grows so large 

 that it can be profitably raised for main crop for Fall use. On account of 

 its quick growth, this cabbage is a most desirable sort for market gar- 

 deners to set out late in July, after early potatoes or other Spring crops 

 are harvested. It looks as if this cabbage would be extremely popular 

 with the market gardeners generally, and especially with those who use 

 my select strain of Danish Ball Head and who have a trade for a round, 

 solid head cabbage early in the season. Originator's stock. 



Packet, 10 cts.; omice, 30 cts.; \^ pound, 85 cts.; poniid, S3.00. 



MAULE t, EARL'i FLAT DUTCH CABBAGE. 



117 Maule's Early Flat Dutch 



An excellent second early cabbage, producing 

 large, solid heads of uniform shape, flattened 

 on top as shown in the illustration. Fully de- 

 veloped heads frequently measure 10 to 12 

 inches across and weigh 12 to 15 pounds each. 

 It also is fine grained and of dainty flavor. It 

 succeeds everywhere, but seems particularly 

 suited to the South, as it has strong heat re- 

 sisting qualities. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 

 35 cents; impound, SI. 00; pound, $3.50. 



EARLY SUMMER CABBAGE. 



123 Fottler's 

 Improved 

 Brunswick 



Short stemmed. A 

 very fine summer or 

 early fall variety; the 

 earliest of all the 

 large, hard heading 

 varieties of Drum- 

 head cabbage. It is 

 of dwarf, compact 

 growth, the flat head 

 resting almost di- 

 rectly on the soil. 

 The outer leaves 

 grow closely about 

 the head. The heads 

 are quite thick and 

 uniformly solid. It 

 is a very reliable 

 header, and under 

 good cultivation will 

 attain a weight of 15 

 pounds. Pkt., 5 cts.; 

 oz., 20 cts.; % lb., 

 60 cts.; lb., S3. 25. 



Full cultural 

 directions are 

 plainly printed 

 on every packet 

 and ounce of 

 Maule 's Seeds. 



H^KDEPSCN'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE. 



132 Henderson Succession 



The introducers say of this cabbage : "We consider it one of our most 

 valuable contributions to horticulture. It would be classed as a second 

 early variety, coming in a few days later than Early Summer, but it is 

 superior to that variety. It is of nearly double the size, and is abso- 

 lutely true to its type under all conditions. It is so finely bred that in 

 a field of twenty acres every head appears alike." 



It is a very handsome cabbage in make up and habit of growth, as 

 well as high bred in quality. A reliable summer or winter sort. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 40 cts.; \i pound, 31.10; pound, $4.00. 



138 Volga or Early Stonehead 



This new cabbage is a great acquisition. In a field of several acres frequently not a single 

 plant shows any variation from a true and valuable type, as the heads are of about equal size 



and shape; weighing from 12 to 

 15 pounds each, round as a ball. 

 The heads are exceptionally 

 hard and solid, and stand a long 

 time before bursting. Light 

 grayish green in color. Very at- 

 tractive. Grown extensively in 

 the Southern part of Texas, to 

 the exclusion of all others. A 

 splendid drought resister. Grows 

 equally as well in all sections. 

 Desirable for moist lands. 



Pkt., 10 cents; oz., 40 cents; 

 14 pound, $1.10; pound, $4.00.

Early Summer 



-'^ 



r^' 



This valuable cabbage matures ten days or two weeks after ■ Maule's Pri/ 

 Wakefield, with heads of uniforml.v round, flattened form, as shown in the illus- 

 tration. The heads are very compact and solid, and double the weight oi 

 Maule's Prize Wakefield. It is one of the best of the large, early cabbages, and is 

 exceedingly valuable for the market gardener, as it has short outer leaves, adapt- 

 ing it for close planting. I offer strictly first-class Long Island grown seed. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; i.^ pound, 75 cents; pound, S2.50.
