MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH CABBAGE. 
ze MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH 
This enormous cabbage excels in size all other varieties. Under high 
culture it has reached the enormous weight of 50 to 60 pounds per head, 
with a diameter equal to that of a bushel basket, while 30 pounds per 
head is by no means rare. If you wish to have the biggest cabbage in 
the whole neighborhood this is the variety to plant. The quality, more- 
over, is not coarse, and the flavor is delicate and excellent. It is well 
adapted to the South, and is considered one of the most desirable varie- 
ties of late cabbage for warm latitudes.

uo NEW RED DANISH ROUND HEAD 
This new red cabbage originated in Denmark, and is considered one of the best strains intro- 
duced. The plants are strong and compact in growth, producing dark red, round solid heads 
of large size, equally as hard and handsome in appearance as my famous Danish Ball Head. 
The red color extends to the centre of each head, making it a valuable sort for the market or 
pickling. Best imported Danish grown seed. Originator stock.

137 Red Polish 
. Lhe Houser 
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 
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 cracks 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 soits. In fact, I 
would say that the Houser cabbage is 
very well bred, and in the careful trials 
and comparative tests on my grounds, it 
has shown up excellently with all other 
late sorts. It is a strong, vigorous grow- 
er, with ability to withstand drought 
better than most varieties. 
Its true merit is shown by the demand 
for it. It behaves well in the field and 
sells well in the market, and adapts itself 
to various conditions of soil and climate. 
As to its keeping qualities, in winter 
storage, I have only to say that it is per- 
fect. Indeed, it is because the Houser is 
so extremely late and is such an excellent 
keeper that it has attained such wide 
popularity. I offer the original stock.

Short-Stemmed 
This grand red cabbage 
is a vigorous grower and 
quite hardy. The heads 
are of a dark red color, 
and are extremely firm 
aad heavy. The stem is 
short, and there are but 
few outer leaves, and it, 
therefore, requires only 
a moderate amount of 
room in the row. The 
quality of the cabbage is 
excellent, and I can and 
do recommend it highly. 
The outside leaves are 
somewhat crumpled at 
the edges, giving the 
plant a pleasing and 
rather ornamental 
appearance. The 
well-shaped head is 
shown in the illustra- 
tion. Some of the 
smaller red cabbages 
have leaves So spread- 
ing as to actually re- 
quire more room for 
growth than this one. 
Red Polish Short- 
stemmed is the most 
profitable red sort ANS \ 
with which I am ac- 
quainted, and will MW 
prove satisfactory in 
all respects to grower, 
cook and pickle W 
maker.
