MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH CABBAGE. 



Marblehead Mammoth 



This enormous cabiDa£;e 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 and 

 the flavor is excellent. It is well adapted to the South; is considered 

 one of the most desirable varieties of late cabbage for warm latitudes.

NEW RED DANISH ROUND HEAD CABBAGE. 



New Red Danish Round Head 



This new red cabbage originated in Denmark, and is considered one 

 of the best strains introduced. 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 home garden, market or pickling. Best imported Danish 

 grown seed. Originator stock. Pacbet, 10 cents; ]'o ounce, 30 cents; 

 ounce, 50 cents; J^ ponnd, §1.50; pound, $5.00, postpaid. 



The Latest Cabbage of Them All

The 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 as the 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. 



lu 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 sorts. 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 A-arieties. 



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 

 keejier that it has attained such wide 

 popularity. I offer the original stock. 



Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 25 cents; ounce, 40 cents; quarter pound, $1.10; pound, $4.00, postpaid.
