No vegetable is of greater importance to the market-gardener than the Cabbage, and to many growers the success or failure of this crop 

 means gain or loss for the year. Cabbage seed, therefore, is the last seed in the list to buy because it is cheap Much of the seed sold at a 



low price IS imported from Eng' ' - _»_.t-.:__i: — . , , ... . . . . . t-

grown, except such varieties as should be grown abroad to get the best results, such as the Danish Ball Head. 



Culture.— For the earliest supply, seed may be sown in September and the plants wintered over in coldframes or seed started in hot- 

 beds or coldframes early m the spring. For the fall crop, the seed should be sown early in June and the young plants transplanted to the 

 rows during the latter part of July. In planting, be sure to .set the young plants down to the first leaves. If 1t is desirable to economize 

 space, lettuce or radish may be sown between the rows, as they will be out of the way before the Cabbage needs the room. 



One ounce of seed will sow 300 feet of drill; 2 ounces sown thinly should provide plants enough for 1 acre 



Stokes' Sarliest. ■'•^^ earliest and hardest heading of 



all first-early Cabbages. For over 



twenty years this splendid Cabbage has been a leader. It has 

 steadily grown in favor and is today the standby of many of my 

 best friends. It is ten days earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield, 

 and is unsurpassed in fine quality, great beauty and vigor of 

 growth. With it you can command the early market in your 

 neighborhood. The heads are slightlj' conical, large, solid and re- 

 markably uniform. Pkt. lo cts., oz. 35 cts., ]{\h. Si, lb. $3.50. 



Stokes* Selected Early Jersey Wakefield. 



While this sort is not so early as Stokes' Earliest, it will be found 

 to be the very best conical-headed sort to come in immediately 

 after it. It heads up remarkably hard and solid, with but few out- 

 side leaves, which are unusuallj' thick and heavy, enabling it to 

 stand cold weather without injury when carried through the win- 

 ter either in the open ground in the South or in coldframes in the 

 North. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., KIb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



Stokes' Quick Cash. markets where a flat head 



is preferred to a pointed Cab- 

 bage, the Quick Cash will fill the bill. It is fully as early as the 

 Early Jersey Wakefield, and grows to a good size for so early a 

 sort. The stem is short, heads very solid, with few outer leaves. 

 It has the peculiarity of heading firmly at a very early stage of 

 growth, so that a Cabbage of the finest eating and market quality 

 can be obtained long before it has reached its mature size. Owing 

 to the few outer leaves, they can be set close, so that the yield to 

 an acre is very large. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts., %]h. $1, lb. $3.50. 



Stokes' S pecial All- Head Early. ^ have a very 



= s'— specially se- 

 lected strain of Long Island grown All-Head Early Cabbage which is 

 one of the best quite early Cabbages on the list. The deep, flat heads 

 are remarkably solid and very uniform in color, form and size. The 

 heads are quite free from spreading leaves, which enables them to be 

 planted closer together, and the rows closer together than almost any 

 other Cabbage of this class. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., KIb. 85c., lb. $3. 



Market-Gardeners' No. 2. ^ '^''ge, flat-headed Cab- 



bage, coming m shortly 

 after the Wakefield. This is a most excellent Cabbage, for which we 

 have had a very heavy demand for years. It is one of the earliest 

 large Cabbages on the li.st ; very compact, hardy, and answers, an
