EARLY WARIZ PEs. 
Eureka, or First Early. The earliest flathead variety. Ma- 
tures as early as Early Jersey Wakefield. (See page 5, also 
illustration on back of colored plate of Vegetables.) Pkt., 
10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 4 lb, 75 cts. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. 
one of the best for private or market gardener’s use. The 
A leading early variety, and 
heads are very solid and hard, they grow to a point and make 
few outer leaves and tie quality is most excellent for an early 
variety. The seed we sell of this variety is fine, having been 
grown from extra selected stock. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 
t 'b., 75 cts. 
Charleston, or Large Wakefield. (See cut.) Selected 
stock. Large solid heads, of good quality; a few days later 
than Early Jersey Wakefield; specially recommended for 
institutions and market gardeners, producing fully twice as 
much per acre as the early varicty. The strain we offer is of 
exceptional purity, and cannot fail to vive satisfaction, as it 
combines all the good qualities of an early long-keeping sort, 
which is especially desirable for shipping. This sort is grown 
around Philadelphia in large quantities for shipping long dis- 
tances, and is practically the best large early sort on the 
market, Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; } Ib., 85 cts. 
Early Spring. This variety is nearly as early as the Jersey 
Waketeld, but the heads are of the round, flat type of Early 
Summer. It has very few small outer leaves, thus allowing 
its being planted us close as any variety known, and_ produc- 
ing 2 large number of heads per acre. Stem short and heart 
very small, making almost entire head fit for use. The 
quality is extremely fine, veins small, and not the least sign 
of coarseness. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; $ lb., 7d cts. 
The autumn and winter 
varieties sow in April or early in May, in 
shallow drills, 3 or 4 inches apart ; trans- 
plant early in July, in rows 24 feet apart 
and 2 feet in the row. Cabbage succeeds 
best in a fresh, rich soil, weli manured, 
and deeply dug or plowed. The late 
plants are subject to attacks of the cabbage 
fly, which destroys them as fast as they ap- 
pear above ground. To preserve the 
plants sprinkle them with wood ashes, 
air-slaked lime, plaster, slug-shot or to- 
bacco dust early in the morning while the 
plants are wet with dew. 
Early Winnigstadt, This has been a 
favorite variety for many years, as it is 
good for either early or late use; in 
some sections the best earlysort. Con- 
ical shape; quality very good. This 
variety is especially adapted for light 
soils, where it does better than other 
sortsse) Ekt-, 5) CtsssOZs, p20 Cts sls.

Etampes. Very early, producing me- 
dium-sized heads; pointed. Pkt., 5 
cts.; oz., 20 cts.; } Ib. 
Express. Extremety early; produces 
nice hard heads fully one week ahead 
of the Early Jersey Wakefield. The 
heads are pointed and verysolid. Pkt., 
5 cts.; oz., 20 cis.; $ 1b., 60 cts. 
Large York. A supericr eily-heading, 
robust sort, pointed heads, solid. Pkt., 
Og ee 5 cts.; 0z., 00 cts.; + 1b., 60 cts. 
SECOND EARLY VARIETIES. 
Dreer’s Early Drumhead. A second early, large, round, 
solid-heading yanety. This we consider the best for follow- 
ing. Charleston Wakefield ; it matures about ten days later. 
Pkt., 5 cts.: oz, 80 cts.; 2 Ib., $1.00. 
Improved Early Summer, A second early Cabbage, 
which matures about ten days after the Jersey Wakefield. It 
makes a large, solid, flatish head, with short outer leaves, 
which admit of close planting in the field. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 
20 cis.; $ 1b., 60 cts. 
Succession, A good second early round-headed co heads 
very evenly, and comes in a few days afterthe Early Summer 
and makes a larger head, It is grown largely by both market 
gardeners and the amateurs. Pkt., 5 cls.; , 25 cts; } Ibs, 
78 cts. 
All Head, Early. The largest heading of the second early 
sorts, of excellent quality. The deep flat heads are remark- 
ably solid and very uniform in size, ofa very compact growth, 
having few outer leaves; can be planted as close as the Wake- 
field. Pkt., 5 cts.; 0z.. 30 cts.; } Ib., 85 cts. 
Selected All=-Seasons ( Vandervgaw). An early Drumhead 
Cabbage, yielding heads of the largest size. Very desirable; 
either for early spring, summer or fall use. Pkt., 5 cts.; 0z., 
20 cts.; 4 Ib., 60 cts. 
Improved Flat Brunswick. This variety produces large 
heads, weighing 15 to 20 Ibs. each. The quality is good, 
and it can be grown either as a second early or late sort; 
short stems, large solid heads. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; $ 
Ib., 60 cts. 
ATMERICAN-GROWN CABBAGE SEED. 
It isa well-known fact among gardeners that American-grown 
Cabbage se<d will make plants that head up better than those raised 
from foreign seed. The seed we furnish is grown on Long Island from 
selected stock.
