RPE 
The Latest Cabbage 
of Them All. 
This excellent cabbage is in very wide 
favor, and thousands of my friends tes- 
tify to its value. It is at least two weeks 
|= later than any strain of the Late Flat 
x Dutch type. In solidity it is almost as 
hard asthe renowned Danish Ball Head. 
It is very compact in habit of growth, 
the leaves closely surrounding and over- 
lapping the head. The shape and ap- 
pearance are shown in the illustration. 
In size the Houser cabbage will aver- 
age about 12 pounds at maturity, and the 
heads are uniformly handsome. ‘The 
shape is round and deep, as indicated ; 
and when a head eracks or bursts it is 
always at the stem end, which does not 
destroy its use for market. 
In quality the Houser cabbage equals 
the best, being very free from the coarse 
ribs found in most late sorts. In fact, I 
would say that the Houser cabbage is 
very well bred, and in the careful trials 
and comparative tests on my experi- 
HOUSER 
mental grounds, it has shown up excel- 
lently with all other late sorts. It isastrong, vigorous grower, 
with ability to withstand drought better than most varieties. 
behaves well in the field and sells well in the market, and

In respect to its keeping qualities, in winter storage, I 
have only to say that it is perfect, Indeed, it is because the

ttuGe. 
This new lettuce is claimed to be with- 
out exception the very largest lettuce in 
cultivation. Notwithstanding its great 
size, it is tender, sweet and crisp; it pro- 
duces a fine large, solid head, often 3 feet 
in circumference and 12 inches in diam- 
eter. It has great heat resisting qualities, 
being slow to run to seed, so that it is very 
reliable for a late crop when many other 
sorts are unfit for use. Do not be preju- 
diced on account of the great size of Iimn- 
mensity, as it is not coarse, even the outer 
liga leaves being tender. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 
Mw 20 cts.; } pound, 60 cts.; pound, $2.00. 

New Early Cracker Jack 
or Royal Wakefield Cabbage. 
Considering the weight of head I regard 
_ Cracker Jack as one of the most profitable 
- of early cabbages for commercial purposes. 
It is unquestionably very early, but I 
7 offer it as a second early sort, coming in 
immediately after Wakefield and excelling 
that variety in weight. Cracker Jack has 
qualities not possessed by any other cab- 
bage, and I urge all up-to-date market 
gardeners to try it. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 
30 cents; } pound, $1.00; pound, $3.00.
