CABBAGE. 



(I. ATE VARIETIES.) 



Oolden Winter Sugar. (See descrip- 

 tion, page 3) 

 Dreer's Selected Late Flat Dutch. 



(See cut.) This excellent strain is the re- 

 sult of many years' careful seleciion, and we 

 consider it the finest strain of Late Flat 

 Dutch Cabbage on the market. The heads 

 are fiat, and grow remarkably large, even, 

 very solid, and are of fine texture ; stems 

 grow short and the quality of the cabbage 

 is very fine. It is a sure-heading sort, as 

 nearly every plant can be depended upon 

 to produce a fine, large head. It is also a 

 good keeper. Market gardeners and farm- 

 ers who grow for market are using this 

 variety very largely, and report satis- 

 factory and profitable crops. We cannot 

 say too much in favor of this variety, and 

 would like all who appreciate good cabbage 

 to try it. Pkt.,5cts.; oz.,30cts,; |- lb., $1.00. 



liouisville Drumhead. This is a pop- 

 ular variety in the Southwest, where it is 

 claimed to stand the he.it better than most 

 sorts; of large size, solid and a good keeper. 

 It is a reliable sort and heads up well. 

 Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; ^ lb., 80 cts. 



Large Late Druuihead. 



A favorite winter variety, large- 

 ly planted by growers who 

 make a specialty of shipping 

 cabbage, as it stands trans- 

 portation well. The heads 

 grow to very large size and 

 heavy weight. They are solid, 

 of good quality and texture, 

 and have very few loose leaves, 

 allowing of planting closely in 

 the field. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 

 cts.; J. lb., 80 cts. 

 Lupton. (See cut.) A fine 

 winter variety of excellent qual- 

 ity and distinct character ; a 

 little earlier than the Flat 

 Dutch, but will maintain shape 

 and solidity for storing. It 

 originated on Long Island wiih 

 our cabbage seed grower, and 

 is a strong, healthy variety and 

 a reliable header. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 oz., 30 cts.; ^ lb., $1.00. 



Dreer's Selected Late Flat Dutch Cabbage. 



The Lupton Cabbage. 



Danish Ball Head (/^o/- 



lander"). 1 his extra hard head- 

 ing variety of cabbage origi- 

 nated in Denmark, and for 

 years has been grown in that 

 country for winter use, also for 

 export. It is the medium-sized, 

 hard white cabbage that is re- 

 ceived from abroad during the 

 early spring months, and even 

 after the long journey across 

 the ocean it arrives in splendid 

 condition. It is a medium or 

 late variety, but is used mostly 

 as a winter cabbage, and comes 

 from the pits, in late spring, in 

 fine condition. The splendid 

 keeping qualities of this vai'i- 

 ety make it most desirable for 

 those who winter over cabbage 

 for early spring sales. Pkt.,

 \ lb., 80 cts.
