N. B. CROP SHORT — SUPPLY LIMITED. Under 

 normal condltlonii the greater supply of eab- 

 bagre seeil eoiueH from abroad. The war has 

 materially decreased the supply, coupled ^vilh 

 the crop disasters in the seed {frroning; sections 

 of this country, permits ns to offer only a lim- 

 ited amount of seed, therefore ORDER EARLY. 



AH our Cabbage Seeds are saved from care- 

 fully selected stocks, and it is impossible to get 

 better at any price. 



Early Cabbag'e Seed should be sown in hot- 

 beds during February or March. When large 

 enough the plants should be transplanted Into 

 cold frames, and as early as the ground is in fit 

 condition they should be planted in the garden, 

 in rows about two feet apart and about 18 

 inches in the row. The late varieties 

 should be sown about the first of May, and 

 set out in the garden in June and July. < 

 As these grow larger than the early va- 

 rieties, they should be planted in rows 

 about three feet apart and about two feet 

 in the row. 1 oz. to 1,500 plants, 6 oz. of 

 Seed in beds to transplant upon an acre. '

I- 

 FIRST EARLY SORTS. 



I - 

 Early Spring or Flat Parisian — An extra 

 early flat-headed sort. As early as Jer- 

 sey Wakefield, with heads twice the 

 weight of Wakefield. It is very solid 

 and regular in shape, has few outside 

 leaves. 



CURRIE'S EARLY' MARIvET — Comparing it with Jersey 

 Wakefield, we find it earlier, besides having a much larger 

 and finer head with few loose outside leaves. In form tlie 

 head is conical. Very short. 



CURRIE'S ECLIPSE — The earliest of all large Cabbages. It 

 is considerably larger than Henderson's Early Summer and 

 fully two weeks earlier. The heads grow very uniform in 

 size, w'ith few loose leaves, remarkably solid, very tender, 

 and of the finest quality. The veins and mid-ribs of the 

 leaves are much smaller than other varieties. Color dark 

 green. The Eclipse is all that can be desired as an early 

 Cabbage, and a valuable sort for main crop. The stem is 

 very short. 



Early Jersey AVakefield — (Extra selected stock.) Extensively 

 grown for an extra early. With careful selection ■we offer 

 a strain that is unexcelled. The heads are uniform in size, 

 pointed, small outside leaves and very solid. 



Charleston Large W'akefleld — Is half as large again as Jersey 

 Wakefield, although a few days later. Our stock has been 

 carefully selected from the earliest and most solid heads, 

 and is the finest that money can procure. 



Early Flat Dutch — ^A standard second early variety. 





Currie's Eclipse Cabbage. 



Early Jersey AVakefield. 



COPENHAGEN MARKET — A superb new round-headed va- 

 riety developed through careful selection by one of the 

 best growers in the celebrated Danish Cabbage countr.v. It 

 matures as early as Charleston Wakefield, but produces 

 much larger, heavier heads, averaging ten pounds each, 

 very solid, although small cored, and of excellent quality. 

 The heads mature so evenly that one cutting suffices to 

 gather the crop. It is very short stemmed, the heads form- 

 ing almost on the ground; the leaves are light-green and 

 alwavs tightly folded, permitting close planting. Pkt. 15c; 

 i/o oz. 30c; oz. 50c; % lb. J1.S5; % lb. $3.50; 1 lb. 16.25. 



SECOND EARLY OR MAIN CROP SORTS, 



GLORY OF ENKHUIZEX — The best of the early large headed 

 sorts, maturing with Early Summer, but producing larger 

 and solider heads than that variety. The heads have very 

 few outside leaves, keep in condition for a long time and 

 are fine grained and tender. jVn excellent sort for ship- 

 ping and the home garden. 



Henderson's Succession — Medium early of the Early Summer 

 type, but growing fully one-half larger; of very fine qual- 

 ity and a long keeper; heads of uniform size, finely formed 

 and very solid. 



Henderson's Early Summer — An excellent variety, twenty days 

 later than Wakefield, but grows to fully double the size. 



Sure Head — One of the best main crop Cabbages. The heads 

 are very large, round, flattened at the top, extra hard, 

 firm, making it a good keeper and shipper. 



Early "Winningstadt — One of the most popular for general use: 

 heads large and conical. 



Fottler's Improved Brunswick — A favorite variety for second 

 early and late planting. 



.*.ll Head — An excellent second early Cabbage growing uni- 

 formly large, compact and solid, and of fine quality, with 

 small veins and mid-ribs. 



CHINESE, OR CELERY CABBAGE — We offer the popular Pe- 

 Tsai strain, which is superior in many respects to others 

 offered. It resembles the Cos Lettuce more than Cabbage. 

 Do not sow early, for it has a tendency to run to seed dur- 

 ing hot weather. Sow in any good soil in this latitude 

 from July 1st to August 1st. Thin out to fifteen inches 

 apart in the row. Unlike other Cabbages, it does not stand 

 frost. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c; 1 oz. 50c. 



All varieties except whei« Doted, Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 

 14 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 40c; 14 lb. .«;i.40; H lb. $2.60; 1 lb. 

 $5.00. 



Cabbage, Cnuliflo«er and Allied Vegetables — By Allen. Of 

 great value to growers. 00c, postpaid.
