SELECT AMERICAN-GROWN CABBAGE SEED 



Market-gardeners realize the importance of having the best Cabbage seed that can be had, and they do not hesitate to pay a few cents 

 more per ounce for quality. To many growers the success or failure of this crop means loss or gain for the year. It is just as important 

 to have the best seed in the home-garden, and Cabbage seed is the last seed in the list to buy because it is cheap. Aluch of the cheap 

 seed is grown in England, where the climate favors big crops; but, except for a few varieties, it is whollj' unsuited for use in this country. 

 The seed I offer is grown by the most experienced planters, from strains which have been improved year after year, and I know they are as 

 good as can be had. I take pride in the quality of this stock. Certain varieties, such as the Danish Ballhead, should be grown abroad to 

 get the best results, and these kinds I have grown by specialists in Denmark. 



Culture. For the early crop start the seed in hotbeds or coldframes early in the spring, and transplant after danger of frost is 

 past. In planting be sure to set the young plants down to the first leaves. If space is lacking, lettuce or radishes may be so\\-n between 

 the rows, as it will be out before the Cabbage needs the room. For the fall crop sow early in June, transplant to rows in July. 



One ounce of seed will sow 300 feet of drill ; two ounces sown thinly should provide plants enough for one acre 

 STOKES' EARLIEST. The earliest and hardest-headed of all early STOKES' STANDARD 



Cabbages. Ten days earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield, and is 



unsurpassed in quality, beauty and vigor. For more than twenty 



years it has been a leader, and today is the standby of many of my 



best friends. The heads are slightly conical, large, soHd. Pkt 



10 cts., oz. 30 cts., 141b. 85 cts., lb. S3, postpaid. 

 SELECTED EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. The best conical- 

 headed variety .to come in immediately after Stokes' Earliest. 



It produces hard, conical heads with few outside leaves, which 



are thick and heavy, enabling it to stand cold weather without in- 

 jury when carried through the winter 



weather in the open ground in the 



South or in coldframes in the North.

 STOKES' QUICK CASH. A flat- 

 headed Cabbage just as early as the 



Early Jersey Wakefield, and the best 



that can be had where a flat head is 



preferred to a pointed head. It grows 



to good size, with very solid heads and 



short stem. It heads early, so a Cab- 

 bage of the finest eating quality and 



market quality can be obtained long 



before it has reached maturity. As it 



has few outside leaves, plants may be 



set closelv together. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 



35 cts., Mlb. Si, lb. S3.50. 

 ALL-HEAD EARLY. My strain of 



this is grown on Long Island, and is 



specially selected. All-Head Early is 



one of the best medium-early Cabbages 



on the list. The heads are large and 



flat, uniform in color, form and size, 



with few outside leaves. They can be 



planted closer together than almost 



any other Cabbage. Pkt. 10 cts., oz.

 dium-early, large, flat-headed Cabbage,
