GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN 



Days to maturity, 110-120. A Holland Cabbage introduced by Sluis & Groot, 1896 and brought to this country shortly afterward. Glory- of 

 Enkhuizen is a later and larger Cabbage of the round-headed type, — it having come originally from very much the same source as the Copenhagen 

 Market. Because of its growing and shipping qualities it has made an important place for itself especially among the large producers of Texas. 

 The head is slightly elongated, although nearly round, solid and of excellent quality. The crisp tender leaves will sometimes be slightly curled 

 and twisted, a feature which is typical of true stocks of the variety. 



ALL HEAD EARLY 



Days to maturity, 115-125. All Head Early was a selection made personally by the 

 late Mr. Burpee in 1888 from a field of Henderson's Succession, which was being grown 

 on the farm of Mr. J. M. Lupton, Mattituck. Long Island. It was thus named and 

 introduced by Burpee in 1891. We believe this is the earliest of the flat types. It has 

 a very deep set head which gives a high tonnage per acre. The average weight of the 

 heads wil! be from 4 to 5 pounds. 



EARLY FLAT DUTCH 



Days to maturity. 1 15-125. An excellent strain of this well known Flat Cabbage. Our 

 stock is particularly recommended to Texas growers. It is short-stemmed, upright, 

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

 slightly round and flattened, very solid and uniform. There is a definite place for 

 Early Flat Dutch Cabbage in the operations of the Texas shipper. This stock is 

 recommended without qualification
