THE LUPTON CABBAGE. 



This new and much lauded variety originated 

 on Long Island with a large cabbage seed 

 grower, and sent out in 1894 by Mr. Maule, of 

 Philadelphia. It is certainly a very fine strain, 

 and worthy of extended trial. 



The introducer says: I am proud to intro- 

 duce to the American gardening public such a 

 thoroughbred late cabbage that will in every 

 way surpass every sort heretofore grown. Thor- 

 oughbred is the very best word to use in describ- 

 ing the New Lupton Cabbage. It has demon- 

 strated itself to be the truest to type, most 

 regular in growth, not only in small tests trials, 

 but in field trials embracing every known variety 

 of cabbage. Its growth is particularly strong 

 and vigorous; its color a dark, bluish green, 

 indicating robust constitution. In this new- 

 cabbage we feel that we have secured the perfec- 

 tion of type and reliability of heading which are 

 the desirable features of all cabbages, and without the sacrifice of the strong constitution which insures 

 vigorous growth and enables the plant to resist unfavorable conditions. In point of maturity it is about a 

 week in advance of the various strains of the Late Flat Dutch. It matures very evenly, is reliable and 

 uniform about heading, is an excellent keeper, and for all purposes of the farmer or market gardener, we 

 ijelieve it will be found one of the best late main crop cabbages. See colored plate on back of cover.

EARLY FORDHOOK >o 

 o< SWEET CORN. 



Early Fordhook is undoubtedly the largest- 

 eared early Corn, averaging iu length fully seven 

 inches. The grains and cob are pure white. 

 The ears are eight-rowed with very small cobs 

 and unusually deep grains. The quality is 

 ■excellent, decidedly sweeter than, any other early 

 Sweet Corn. 



The value of Fordhook Early can be knowa 

 when we say that competent judges have 

 proHounced it superior to Crosby in flavor, 

 while it is five to six days earlier. It remains 

 fit fer table use longer lhan any early Corn 

 now known, and can always be thoroughly 

 enjoyed. 



For large, white ears, sweetness, and the 

 leagth of time it remains fit for use, Ferdh«ek 

 Early will bow take first place as the finest 

 extra early Sweet Corn for both the market 



gardener and private planter.
