CABBAGE 



By waj" of explanation, we want to tell you frankly 

 that the Cabbage-seed situation in the United States 

 todaj" is more serious than it has ever been in the his- 

 tory of the seed trade. The reason for this is as fol- 

 lows: One-half of the seed used in the United States 

 has been grown either on Long Island or near Puget 

 Sound. Ninety per cent of the Long Island crop was 

 ruined, owing to the severe winter, and over 80 per 

 cent of the \\ ashington crop was lost by reason of the 

 heavy spring floods. The carrj -over on Cabbage seed 

 was extremely low. W hat little seed will come out of 

 England and France will not relieve the shortage to 

 any material extent. Therefore, according to the 

 economic laws of supply and demand, there is only 

 about 25 per cent of the normal supply of Cabbage 

 seed for the whole United States, which means that 

 those who are fortunate in securing seed will do so at 

 almost any price, anticipating the increased value in 

 Cabbage for the coming season, for under these con- 

 ditions the Cabbage market is almost certain to be 

 extremely high. The price of Cabbage seed is some- 

 thing which is entirely out of our control, but it will 

 not be prohibitive to anj one who will look ahead to 

 the time of harvest, for with only 25 per cent of the 

 normal production possible, the Cabbage market is 

 certain to be very strong. As an after-war crop we 

 strongly recommend Cabbage to our trade. 



100 Early Jersey Wakefield 



The most largely known of all extra-early pointed- 

 head varieties. Early Jersey \\'akefield will mature 

 about one week later than the Stokes Earliest 

 (Etampes), producing a considerablj' larger head 

 than that Cabbage and being of a vers^ firm, solid 

 texture, the quality of which is excellent. The 

 heads keep firm for a considerable length of time 

 and this, of course, is an important factor when it 

 is grown as a field crop. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 65 cts., 

 V4lb. $2.25, lb. $9, 10 lbs. $80. 



102 Charleston or Large Wakefield 



The particular merit of this Cabbage is the fact that it will 

 produce an exceedingly large head quite early in the season, being 

 only about six days later in maturing than the Early Jersey Wake- 

 field. It is a sort which is very generally used by all classes of 

 planters, and on the whole gives splendid satisfaction. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 OZ. 65 cts., Vilb. $2.25, lb. $9, 10 lbs. $80. 



110 Early Winnigstadt 



Among the Best Medium-Early Sorts 



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 verv often used as a winter Cabbage when the 

 seed is sown late. Pkt. 10 Cts., oz. 45 cts., y4lb. $1.75, lb. $7, 

 10 lbs. $60. 



117 Early Flat Dutch 



A very valuable and economical second-early variety. The 

 plant is short-stemmed, upright and with few outer leaves; con- 

 sequently the rows can be set close together. The heads are 

 nearlj' round, with a slightly flattened top, very solid and uni- 

 form in shape and size. This variety is slightly earlier than Early 

 Summer Cabbage, which we discarded one year ago owing to its 

 similarity to Early Flat Dutch. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 45 cts., ^^lb. 

 $1.75, lb. $7, 10 lbs. $60. 



i 115 All-Head Early (Surehead) 



A second-early sort of the flat type which has become very 

 popular among large planters, probably due to the fact that it 

 has a very deep-set head which increases its bulk very appre- 

 ciably. All-Head Early is used very extensively for kraut and 

 can also be carried through the winter bv means of late planting. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 45 cts., V4lb. $1.75, lb. $7, 10 lbs. $60. 



120 Succession (All Seasons) 



(MARKET-GARDENERS' NO. 2) 

 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 

 altogether an intermediate variety either for late summer or 

 autumn use. The heads are nearly round, slightly flattened but 

 solid and of excellent qualitv. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 45 cts., V^lb. 

 $1.75, lb. $7, 10 lbs. $60. 



130 Late Flat Dutch 



One of the old standard late winter Cabbages. The deep, 

 i 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. 45 cts., V4lb. $1.75, lb. $7, 10 lbs. $60.
