High-Bred American-Grown Cabbage Seed 



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

 means gain or loss for the j-ear. 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 England, where, owing to their climate, it produces large quantities of seed ; but it is practically worthless (except 

 a few early varieties) in America. I exercise exceptional care in growing and selecting my Cabbage seed. It is all high-bred American- 

 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 in the spring. For the fall crop, the seed should be sown early in June and the j-oung 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 it 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

ana 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 earl)- market in your 

 neighborhood. The heads are slightly 

 conical, large, solid and remarkably uni- 

 form. Pkt. lo cts., oz. 35 cts., Klb. jti, 

 lb. $3-50. 



Stokes* Selected Early 



Jersey Wakefield. 



W h i I e 

 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 outside leaves, which 

 are unusually thick and heavy, enabling 

 it to stand cold weather without injury 

 when carried through the winter either 

 in the open ground in the South or in 

 coldframes in the North. Pkt. lo cts., 

 oz. 30 cts., ^Ib. 85 cts., lb. S3. 



Stokes' Quick Cash, ^nj^^r^ 



where a flat head is preferred to a pointed 

 Cabbage, 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 a few outer leaves. It has the peculiarity of headmg 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 maturity. Owing to the few outer leaves, they can be set close, so 

 that the yield is very large. Pkt. loc, oz. 40c., %\h. $1, lb. $3.50. 



Stokes' Special AU- 

 Head Early. ^ y^.,^ 



2_ specially 



selected strain of Long Island- 

 grown All-Head Early Cab- 

 bage which is one of the best 

 quite early Cabbages on the 

 list. The deep, flat heads are 

 remarkably solid andverj-uni- 

 form in color, form and size. 

 The heads are quite free from 

 spreading leaves, which ena- 

 bles them to be planted close 

 together, and the rows closer 

 together than almost any other 

 Cabbage of this class. Pkt. 10
