COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



THE LUPTON CABBAGE. 



This new variety originated on Long 

 Island with a large cabbage seed grower. 

 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. It has demonstrated 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 vigor- 

 ous; its color a dark, bluish green, indi- 

 cating robust constitution. In this new 

 cabbage we feel that we have secured the 

 perfection of type and reliability of heading 

 which are the desirable features of all cab-bages, and without the sacrifice of the strong 

 constitution which insures vigorous growth and enables the plant to resist unfavorable con- 

 ditions. 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 excel- 

 lent keeper, and for all purposes of the farmer or market gardener, we believe it will be 

 found one of the best late main crop cabbages.
