CABBAGE, continued 



Londerback's All-the-Year-Round. 



This Cabbage, originated by Daniel Louder- 

 back, has for many years been the standard 



early round-headed Cabbage with Philadelphia gardeners, who prefer it to Earlj- Summer and similr 

 sorts, the originator frequently getting as high as Sio per pound for his seed. It is not only the finest 

 early Drumhead in cultivation, but is equallj' good for second and third early, intermediate and late 

 Heading large, compact and solid at all seasons. Pkt. lo cts., oz. 25 cts., K'b. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



Johnson and Stokes introduced this Cabbage three year- 

 ;o under the originator's description as an absolutely 



Worm-Proof (?) Hardiana. 



worm-pi oof varietj', and while all of the reports speak of it as being a very fine quality Cabbage, witii 

 heavy, solid heads, some have not found it worm-proof, while for others it has been absolutelj' so. But 

 whether worm-proof or not, it is one of the very finest large, late-heading sorts on our list. There seems 

 to be a slight coating of enamel on the outer leaves, making it somewhat impervious to the action of worms 

 and giving it a handsome crisp, gloss)^ appearance. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., K'b. ^i, lb. $3.50. 



"^Q-^jff Volffa. ^ magnificent Cabbage for southern planters for early spring market, and for northern 

 — - planters for early fall market. The plants are of very low growth with spreading 

 saucer-like outer leaves, which shade the roots verj- effectively. It is very rapid in its growth, but it is a 

 long time after maturity before it bursts. The heads are deep through and smoothlj- round at the top. 

 The3' are exceedingl3' hardy and solid and very heavj-. Light graj'ish green in color and 10 to 12 inches 

 in diameter, and are very attractive in every waj'. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., Klb. $1, lb. $3.50. 



Our matchless strain of Late Flat Dutch Cabbage we be- 

 lieve is unexcelled in producing unitorm, handsome, very 

 large, solid, compact heads. They are of extra strong growth and in good soil will produce heads of 

 enormous size. They are also splendid keepers, and for late winter use there is no better Cabbage to be 

 had. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., Klb. 65 cts., lb. $2.25. 



An earlier short-stemmed type of the famous Danish Ball-Head. This 

 new type has very round, solid heav\' heads on short, thick stalks, and 

 is less liable to be bent over b}- storms than taller varieties. The heads average larger in size than those 

 of the Ball-Head type, and are heavier in weight than heads of even larger size of the best American 

 varieties. The interior leaves are bleached to the purest whiteness. Pkt. loc, oz. 25c., M'lb. 75c., lb. $2.50. 



Seed grown by the originator in Denmark. An extremely 

 hardy imported Cabbage, which is growing in popvilarity 

 in America, having proven itself one of the very best winter sorts. It is a very sure header, very solid and 

 heavy, an extra good keeper and good seller. It is medium to late, but is generally grown as a late crop. 



Matchless Late Flat Dutch. 



Danish Rotmd-Head. 



Genuine Danish Ball-Head. 



Dauiish Round-Head Cabbage 



The heads are not extra large, and without manj' outer leaves, so that it can be grown in close quarters. 

 It has excellent keeping qualities, and comes out of the pit in March or April as fresh as when it was put in. It is the best Cabbage to raise 

 where it is sold per ton or by weight, as its soliditj' is not equaled by an}- other Cabbage in the list. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., ^ilb. 6oc., lb. $2.

Mr. Chas. RiESS. of Connersvillc, Indiana, writes : 



" That Grand Rapids Lettuce seed vou sent us last sprinpr was the best Let- 

 tuce we ever raised, some heads weiKliinir one pouu<i and more, and it is the 

 best Lettuce for hotbeds. It stands tlie bad weather better than any other 

 Lettuce on tlie market." 



" Vour Louderback Cabbage was the best we ever raised, lots of heads 

 filled a half-bushel basket."
