no Early Winnigstadt Cabbage 



Early Winnigstadt is a hard, sharply pointed Cabbage which is a sure cropper for, owing to 

 the texture of its dark green leaves, it does not suffer from insects and diseases as some other less 

 hardy varieties unfortunately do. Early Winnigstadt is well adapted for kraut, and is very often 

 used as a winter Cabbage when the seed is sown late. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 65 cts., Vilb.* $2.25, 

 lb. $8. 



us All-Head Early Cabbage 



A second-early sort of the flat type which has become very popular among large planters, prob- 

 ably due to the fact that it has a very deep-set head which increases its bulk very appreciably. 

 All-Head Early is used very extensively for kraut and can also be carried through the winter by 

 means of late planting. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 65 cts., V 4 lb. $2.25, lb. $8. 



117 Early Flat Dutch 



A very valuable and economical second-early variety. The plant is short-stemmed, upright 

 and with few outer leaves; consequently the rows can be set close together. The heads are nearly 

 round, with a slightly flattened top, very solid and uniform in shape and size. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 

 65 cts., V 4 lb. $2.25, lb. $8. 



120 Succession (All Seasons) 



A feature of this Cabbage is its remarkable resistance to hot sun and dry weather, in addition 

 to the fact that it remains in condition for use probably longer than any other variety. It is alto- 

 gether an intermediate variety either for late summer or autumn use. The heads are nearly round, 

 slightly flattened but solid and of excellent quality. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 65 cts., l / 4 lh. $2.25, lb. $8. 



130 Late Flat Dutch 



One of the old standard late winter Cabbages. The deep, flat heads are as solid as a rock and 

 have excellent keeping qualities. It has a reputation for producing more tons to the acre than any 

 other Cabbage under cultivation, and by some is used in preference to the late Danish variety. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 65 cts., y 4 lb. $2.25, lb. $8. 



135 Drumhead (Hard-Heading Savoy) 



The success we have attained with Savoy Cabbage during the past two seasons among Phila- 

 delphia gardeners has been highly encouraging. Hard-Heading Savoy is a Cabbage which is well 

 savoved and of a fine deep color. In trueness to type and in heading qualities we believe it is unex- 

 celled. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 75 cts., V 4 lb. $2.65, lb. $10. 



Enkhuizen Glory 



A medium early Cabbage that forms large, very attractive ball-shaped heads; thin-ribbed but 

 hard and solid. Fine for the home-garden. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 75 cts., V 4 lb. $2.65, lb. $10. 



145 PE-TSAI, CHINESE CABBAGE 



A Cool-Season Vegetable 



This little-known vegetable has had a wide sale, as it makes a most delicious salad if properly 

 grown. It seems to be a cross or hybrid between Cabbage and Cos lettuce. Under good conditions 

 it makes a large head, 15 to 18 inches high by 6 to 8 inches in diameter. It bleaches a beautiful 

 greenish white. There is a variance in the type, some growing more nearly round than others, 

 though the variety we are selling makes a long head. The heads are almost as firm and solid as 

 Cabbage, but the leaf-stalk is as tender as celery or lettuce. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., V^lb. $1, lb. 

 $3.50. 



CARROT 



May be sown in the North up to August 1 



150 Chantenay (Rubicon) 



The most universally used Carrot for all outdoor crop purposes. It is earlier than Danvers 

 Half-Long, and will average some thirty to forty tons to the acre. The root is somewhat stump- 

 rooted. Its average length will be between 5 Yi and 6 inches, tapering slightly from well-set shoul- 

 ders. The surface is smooth and a deep orange in color, and the flesh is very crisp and tender, 

 probably the best quality of Carrot which we offer. One of its best features is the fact that it is 

 ready for table use at almost every stage during its growth. This is not only of convenience to the 

 home-gardener but is also valuable to the market-gardener who can thus take advantage of a 

 higher market. The great productiveness and the ease with which Chantenay can be harvested 

 have made it a desirable stock-feeding sort which, regardless of the slightly higher price in seed 

 over the cheaper varieties, is very often used for this purpose. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., y 4 Ib. 40 cts., 

 lb. $1.50, 10 lbs. $12.50.
