Charleston, or Large Wakefield Cabbage 



CHARLESTON OR LARGE WAKEFIELD. This 

 variety has become a popular market cabbage. 

 It is about a week later than Wakefield, the 

 heads are nearly one-third larger and very sol- 

 id. It is very compact in growth and so can 

 be planted more close than most varieties. One 

 great advantage with this sort is that it does 

 not burst open when ripe. This sort is grown 

 largely in the south and around large cities for 

 shipping long distances on account of its good 

 keeping qualities, and is one of the best large 

 early sorts on the market. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 30 cts., 14 lb. $1.00. 



All-Head Early Cabbage 



ALL-HEAD EARLY. In this variety we have 

 an excellent second early cabbage, which is not 

 only All-Head, but never fails to head. The 

 great advantage of having an early cabbage 

 that is sure to produce a large, solid, crisp 

 head, and one that will answer for an early or 

 late variety, can well be appreciated. Per pkt. 

 5 cts.. oz. 30 cts., 14 lb. $1.00. 



ALL SEASONS or VANDERGAW. Nearly as 

 early and as good as Early Summer, but yield- 

 ing heads from a third to a half as large again. 

 An excellent variety either for early or fall 

 use; hence its name, "All Seasons." In quality 

 no cabbage can surpass it in sweet, tender and 

 rich flavor. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., \i lb. 

 $1.00. 



Surehead Cabbage 



SUREHEAD. This variety is unrivaled today, 

 being pronounced by thousands of growers the 

 surest heading and best main crop cabbage. 

 The demand from all parts of America for this 

 famous cabbage is steadily increasing. No 

 other cabbage has elicited so many voluntary 

 expressions of praise. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 

 cts., 1/4 lb. 90 cts. 



PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH. As a variety for 

 the winter market it has no superior, and is 

 more extensively grown than any other. Heads 

 large, bluish green, round, solid, broad and flat 

 on top ; they open wide and crisp, are tender 

 and well flavored. One of the very best to 

 keep. With good cultivation on moist, rich 

 ground, ninety-five in a hundred will head up 

 hard and fine. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., % 

 lb. 90 cts. 



VOLGA or STONE HEAD. A variety lately in- 

 troduced from Russia. It is strong and hardy, 

 invariably producing a crop. The heads are 

 large, round and perfectly solid. Few outside 

 leaves and does not crack. The flesh is firm, 

 tender and white ; most desirable for kraut as 

 well as for all other purposes. It is about two 

 weeks earlier in maturing than the other late 

 main sorts. We predict this cabbage will iead 

 all others as a main crop variety when better 

 known. Per pkt. 5 cts., o/. 25 cts., ^,4 lb. 90 

 cts. 



MAMMOTH ROCK RED. This is the largest and 

 hardiest heading red cabbage in cultivation. 

 Successful Long Irsland market gardeners will 

 raise no other kind of red cabbage, for they 

 consider this the best of all. The heads fre- 

 quently average 12 pounds each, and are very 

 sure croppers. If you want as fine red cab- 

 bage as you ever saw. you must sow ROCK 

 RF.D, for it absoluteley leads every other red 

 sort. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., lb. $1.00. 



AMERICAN DRUMHEAD SAVOY. Closely ap- 

 proaching the Cauliflower in delicacy and de- 

 licious flavor. The best of all the Savoys for 

 general market or home use. It has a short 

 stump, grown to a large size, is compace and 

 solid, and a good header. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 25^cts., 14 lb. $1.00. 



Your seeds are of the best I have ever seen, or 

 tried. The Notts Elxelsior Peas are just fine; I 

 have picked about four bushels off three rows 

 sixty feet long. — F. A. Naylor, Johnson Co.,
