Danish Summer Ball Head 



The Earliest Strain of the 

 Famous Danish Ball Head Cabbage 



The Danish Summer Ball Head Cabbage is taking the place among 

 the early varieties that the Danish Ball Head holds among the later 

 sorts. In season it follows right after the early sorts, producing much 

 larger heads of a light green color, extremely hard and solid, interior 

 leaves bleached to the purest whiteness; of sweet flavor and crisp, 

 tender texture. Long keeping and of superb quality. It resembles 

 the Winter Danish Ball Head quite closely. On light soil it does 

 particularly well, being a sure header. It is a truly fine early cabbage 

 In all respects. It has a noteworthy compactness of growth, which 

 permits close planting. Indeed, as many plants naay be set to the acre 

 as of the All Head Early Cabbage. Its beautiful large, round heads 

 are less attacked by worms, bugs and diseases, being extremely hardy 

 it does well under adverse circumstances and pleases the most critical 

 market gardeners. It has become a general favorite with market 

 gardeners everywhere on account of adapting itself to all soils and con- 

 ditions. My stock of this superb strain is grown by the originator in 

 Denmark. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; J pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50.

The Celebrated Lupton 



A. Grand Leading Winter Cabbage of My 



Introduction. The Only Rival 



of the Famed Surehead 



The Lnpton cabbage began its career in 1888, on the eastern end of 

 Long Island, in an extensive cabbage growing district. The origin- 

 ator, whose name the cabbage bears, is undoubtedly the largest 

 grower of first-class cabbage seed in America and every prominent 

 seed firm in the country considers hinr an authority on this important 

 subject. Lupton has some of the best traits of Surehead, with the size 

 and general shape of Maule's Prize Flat Dutch, but is several days 

 earlier than the latter. Its growth is particularly strong and vigorous. 

 Its color is a darli bluish green, indicating robust constitution and 

 healthy development. The leaves are broad and well filled out to 

 Iheir juncture with the stem. The stem is short, and broad under the 

 head, but tapers almost to a point where it enters the ground. The 

 head is thick and flat, with the outer leaves covering it well across 

 the centre. It is very large, solid, and of the most excellent quality, 

 without any features of coarseness, the veins and ribs being well devel- 

 oped, but not prominent. My seed is, of course, all grown by originator.
