LATE CABBAGE 



STOKES'STANDARDI 



STOKES' STANDARD LATE. 



Like all the Stokes' Standards, 

 this is a reliable, heavy-bearing variety that I recommend with 

 the utmost confidence. It is a fine, large, late, winter-keeping sort, 

 with solid heads very frequently weighing twenty to twenty-five 

 pounds each. Pkt. lo cts., 02. 30 cts., 341b. 85 cts., lb. $3- 



MATCHLESS LATE FLAT DUTCH. ■^S^Cc'pfT^TaTtVI 

 This is my own matchless strain of ^^^^ * ' i 

 the larger Late Flat Dutch type, and is unexcelled in solidity. The 

 heads are uniform, handsome and of enormous size; they keep 

 splendidly and cannot be beaten for late winter use. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 oz. 30 cts., l^lb. 8s cts., lb. S3. 



LOUDERBACK'S ALL-THE- YEAR- -"afcToVjp^ . a . -»-x^| 

 ROUND. For many years, this '"^^^ ' ' ' 



Cabbage, originated by Daniel Louderback, has been the standard 

 "early-late" round-headed Cabbage with Philadelphia gardeners. 

 The originator frequently got Sio per pound for his seed. It is 

 the earliest Drumhead Cabbage in cultivation, and is equally good 

 for early, second and third early, intermediate and late crops. 

 The heads are large, compact and solid at all seasons. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 oz. 30 cts., Mlb. 85 cts., lb. S3. 



NEW VOLGA. Southern planters use this for the early spring 

 market and northern planters for the early fall trade. The plants 

 grow low, with spreading, saucer-like outer leaves which catch 

 light rains or heavy dews to nourish the stalk. It makes a very 

 rapid growth but does not burst at maturity. The leaves are 

 light grayish green, very attractive. The heads are 10 to 12 inches 

 in diameter, hardy, solid and very heavy. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., 

 i^lb. 85 cts., lb. S3. 



SURE-IffiAD. Original seed. A sweet-flavored Cabbage that keeps 

 well and is good for home use or shipping. Heads of the Flat Dutch 

 type, weighing from ten to fifteen pounds each; uniform and 

 solid. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., }ilh. 75 cts., lb. S2.50. 



SHORT- STEM DRUMHEAD. Ripens earlier than the old late 

 Drumhead. Stems are short, and there is little outer foHage so 

 they can be planted closely together. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., 

 Mlb. 75 cts., lb. S2.50. 



PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH. A favorite for the winter market. An 

 improved strain of the large Late Flat Dutch, grown for the main 

 crop. Keeps wonderfully well. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., J^lb. 

 75 cts ., lb . S2.50. 



HARD-HEADING SAVOY. Savoy Cabbages have curled or crum- 

 pled leaves and are very attractive. My seed is grown in America 

 and gives excellent results, producing large, solid and tender 

 heads, possessing the rich flavor of cauliflower. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 

 25 cts., J:tlb. 75 cts., lb. S2.50. 



MAMMOTH RED ROCK. A sure-heading, tender, solid red 

 Cabbage, valuable for pickling as well as for ordinary use. Pkt. 

 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., J4lb. 75 cts., lb. S2.50.

STOKES^STANDARDI 



CAULIFLOWER 



Cauliflower produces little seed, and the seed is the most expensive 

 vegetable seed in the entire list. I pay twice as much for the best 

 seed, grown especially for me, as I would have to pay for ordinary 

 Cauliflower, and my customers can depend on getting the best 

 crops from my seed. 



Culture. Cauliflower requires about the same cultivation as 

 cabbage. For spring crops sow the seed in hotbeds early in February, 

 transplanting early to the garden in April. For the main or fall 

 crop sow seed in June and set out plants the latter part of July. When 

 the heads begin to form the outside leaves may be brought together 

 and tied over them, keeping the heads white and tender. 

 One ounce will produce about 1,500 plants and sow about 40 sq. ft. 

 STOKES' STANDARD. Fine., 

 large, snow-white heads, 9 to 

 12 inches in diameter. Early, close growing and compact, weigh- 

 ing more than other heads of equal size. Plants make a strong 

 growth and are remarkable for their uniformity in giving fine heads. 

 Pkt. 25 cts., ^oz. S1.65, oz. S3, 141b. Sio. 

 EARLY ALABASTER. My sales of ,»r^rf^-= - r- ~ . . _.-| 

 this have been increasing rapidly year ^^ ^o Hb.vJ I /\L 1 T | 

 by year. It is not only one of the earliest and quickest-growing 

 Cauliflowers, but it grows to large size and is handsome in every 

 way. The stem and outer leaves are short. Every plant forms a 

 large, solid, perfect head of the finest quality — it is an absolutely 

 sure header. Pkt. 25 cts.. 5 pkts. Si, y-toz. Si. 65, oz. S3, J4lb. Sio. 

 DANISH DRY WEATHER. This is the Cauliflower for growing 

 away from water. It is well known that Cauliflower thrives best 

 near water and, because of this. Long Island and the Puget Sound 

 country are the greatest Cauliflower sections in America. The 

 Danish Dry Weather Cauliflower is a strain that is particularly 

 adapted for growing away from water, succeeding where others 

 will fail. It can even be grown in some dry states, as Arizona, 

 where the Agricultural Experiment Station commends it highly. 

 Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. Si, I4OZ. Si. 65, oz. S3, H^h. Sio. 

 EARLY SNOWBALL. Extra-fine stock. This is the best strain of 

 Snowball for forcing under glass during the winter or early spring, 

 or for planting later in the early ground. It is extra early and makes 

 a fine, solid head of medium size. Pkt. 20 cts., i^oz. $1.25, oz. 

 S2.2S, Mlb. S7.
