CHINESE, or CEI^ERY CABBAGE 



A species of Cabbage which somewhat resembles Cos Lettuce 

 in its growth and appearance. It is not new, but only recently 

 grown to any extent in this country; each year, however, finds 

 more of it produced here. It does not form a solid head like 

 Cabbage, but grows rather loosely, more in the manner of Cos 

 Lettuce, and is served raw, like lettuce, or prepared as cole- 

 slaw, also boiled like Spinach. The seed should not be sown 

 early, as the plants run to seed during the summer, and as it 

 tl-.rives best during cooler weather it is best to sow seed about 

 I he end of July, or during the early part of August. Plants 

 will not stand transplanting, and the seed should be sown in 

 drills about 20 inches apart, and after the plants have made 

 sufficient growth, thin out to stand about 15 inches apart in the 

 row. There are several varieties of Chinese Cabbage, but the 

 two sorts oflfered below have proven to be the best for this climate. 

 Wong Bok Chinese Cabbage. (See cut.) The heads of this 

 variety are broader than Pe-Tsai, and leaves fold tighter, 

 making a more compact plant. The leaves are light green 

 in color, and have broad white ribs, and the entire plant may 

 be blanched pure white by covering it with burlap. Pkt., 

 lOcts.; oz., 50 cts.; I lb., $1.50. 

 Pe=Tsai Chinese Cabbage. This variety makes an upright 

 growth, and when ready for use it somewhat resembles Cos 

 Lettuce. It produces an elongated head with pale green 

 slightly crimped outer leaves and white ribs, which are thick 

 and fleshy. The inside leaves blanch to a creamy white and 

 have a very mild flavor. Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 40 cts. ; | lb., $1.25. 



COPENHAGEN MARKET 

 CABBAGE 



This excellent variety from Denmark will command the atten- 

 tion of those who grow for early market, as well as the private 

 growers who desire an extra early, round-headed Cabbage which 

 can be depended upon for making large solid heads at an early 

 season. The heads are grown upon a remarkably short stem, are 

 solid and large in size, weighing 10 to 12 pounds, with light 

 green leaves and of good quality. It is the largest of the early 

 round-headed varieties,- and its habit of growth allows of its being 

 planted close together in the field or garden, thereby producing 

 a larger number of heads to a given area, a feature which is very 

 important in growing this vegetable. The seed we furnish is 

 Danish grown. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; ^ lb., |1.25. 



SUTTON'S 

 RED INTERMEDIATE CARROT 



This variety of Carrot is of English origin, and its handsome 

 shape, rich red color and fine quality appeal to all who plant it. 

 The carrots grow to a desirable size, being between the half- 

 long and long varieties, and are very uniform. The shape is 

 most desirable, tapering to a decided point, and the quality is 

 excellent, being sweet and tender. This Carrot will surely prove 

 satisfactory to all who plant it in their garden this year. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 20cts.; J lb., 60 cts.; lb., |2.00 



KLONDIKE CUCUMBER 



This valuable variety is one of the best for slicing, and will 

 produce Cucumbers equal in appearance to the hot-house grown 

 specimen. The color is rich dark green with light striping at 

 the end, and the fruits grow to a uniform size, measuring about 

 seven inches in length and two inches thick when in good 

 condition for use. It matures early and continues bearing for 

 a long time, and the vines make such a healthy and vigorous 

 growth that they produce a good crop even in a poor season, 

 when many other varieties fail on account of unseasonable 

 weather. It is a good variety to use while small for pickles, as 

 the fruits are very firm. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 16 cts.; | lb., 45 

 cts.; lb., $1.50.
