CABBAGE 



(Brassica oleracea var. capitata,) Native of the English Channel coast. Probably under cultivation for at 

 least 10,000 years. The immense number of varieties now in existence is indicative of its great antiquity. Modern 

 seed-supply comes from northern Europe, Long Island, and Puget Sound. 



German, Kopfkohl; Italian, Cavolo Cappuccio; Polish, Kapusta 

 One ounce of seed produces about 5,000 plants 



Early Etampes. ^tC^^^'t 



drieux & Co., Paris, France, and introduced by- 

 Johnson & Stokes about 1886 as Johnson & Stokes' 

 Earliest, later as Stokes' Earliest. It is fully a 

 week earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield which 

 makes it desirable for early market purposes. The 

 head is conical in shape, of excellent quality, but 

 not quite as large as Jersey Wakefield. Price, 

 large pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., y4lb. 75 cts., lb. 

 $2.50, 5 lbs. $12.00, delivered.

Early Jersey Wakefield. P„X;9°o.or: 



iginally brought from New Jersey to Long Island 

 by Francis Brill in 1871, and introduced by Hen- 

 derson about 1870. This variety is from five to 

 seven days later than Etampes, but the head is 

 considerably larger and much more solid. \\'here 

 earliness is the chief object we recommend 

 Etampes, but it should be followed by Jersey 

 Wakefield for the main early crop. The head of 

 Jersey Wakefield is very solid, comparatively 

 small and running to rather a small point at the 

 top. The quality is excellent but, as is the case 

 with most quick-maturing vegetables, it will not 

 hold long after attaining its growth and is likely 

 to break open after about two weeks. The strain 

 offered is highly recommended and may be relied 

 upon by the most critical planters. Price, large 

 pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., y4lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50, 

 5 lbs. $12.00, delivered. 



All k^^^ Uf&wKr Days to maturity, 105. AII- 



/\ii-neaa nariy. j^^^j ^^^^^ ^ selection 



made personally by the late Mr. Burpee in 



from a field of Henderson's Succession, which 

 was being grown on the farm of J. M. Lupton, 

 IVIattituck, L. I. It was thus named and intro- 

 duced by Burpee in 1891. Of the flat types of 

 Cabbage, this we believe to be the earliest. It 

 has a very deep set head, which increases the 

 tonnage per acre very appreciably. As a second- 

 early home-garden variety, it is highly recom- 

 mended and may also be used for storage in 

 winter by planting later in the season. Price, 

 large pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., y4lb. 85 cts., lb. 

 $3.00, 5 lbs. $14.00, delivered. 



Charleston or Large Wakefield. 



Days to maturity, 95. A selection of the large 

 heads from Early Jersey Wakefield, made by 

 Francis: Brill and J. M. Lupton in 1880. The 

 product of this selection was sold to F. W. Bol- 

 giano in 1880 and he offered it under the name 

 of Large Wakefield. Henderson secured a stock 

 very shortly after and his stock was offered as 

 Charleston Wakefield. The head of Charleston is 

 considerably larger than Early Jersey Wakefield 

 and for this reason is more usually grown for com- 

 mercial purposes than the latter. The five extra 

 days before it reaches maturity are in no way a 

 handicap. Given the same number of days the 

 Charleston Wakefield will produce a larger head 

 than Early Jersey Wakefield. The general shape 

 of the head is thicker through and not so sharply 

 pointed. Price, large pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., y^lh- 

 85 cts., lb. $3.00, 5 lbs. $14.00, delivered.
