A RED POLISH 
SHORT-STEMMED. — 
This new red cabbage is 
the best of its type. It is 
3a vigorous grower and 
quite hardy. The heads 
are of a dark red color, 
and are extremely firm 
and 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 feel able 
to recommend it highly. 
The outside leaves are 
somewhat crumpled at 
the edges, giving the 
plant a pleasing and 
rather ornamental ap- 
pearance. The well- 
shaped head is shown in 
Some of the smaller red cabbages have leaves so

spreading as to actually require more room for growth than this one. 
New Red Polish is the most profitable red sort with which I am ac- 
quainted, and will prove satisfactory in all respects to grower, cook 
gid pickle maker. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 44 1b., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50. 
¥Y IMPROVED DRUMHEAD SAVOY. — The Savoy cabbages are 
noted for their fine and delicate flavor. The leaves are wrinkled in a 
peculiar and characteristic manner. The heads in this strain of Savoy 
are large and very compact, and of a most attractive appearance. It is 
an excellent winter keeper, and I commend it to market gardeners and 
amateurs. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 14 pound, 60 cts.; pound, $2.00. 
FELDERKRAUT.—This is a German variety combining so many 
good qualities that 1t should be planted by all cabbage growers. It is 
especially, desirable in making kraut, and is extensively grown for 
that purpose. It is a sure header, and the heads are very large and 
solid. It is hardy and thrives well anywhere. Recommended to all 
desiring a pointed head variety adapted to both early and late plant- 
ing. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 144 pound, 66 cents; pound, $2.00. 
‘MAMMOTH RED ROCK.—The hardiest and largest heading red 
cabbage in cultivation, heads often weighing 12 pounds each. A sure 
cropper. Successful Long Island growers prefer this to all other red 
cabbages. True seed of Red Rock has been scarce for years, as it is a 
shy seeder; but I have harvested a fair crop of the genuine article. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; 14 pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50.

size all other varieties. , Under high culture it has reached the enor-. 
mous weight of 50 to 60 pounds per head with a diameter equal to that
