THROTJGII our connection with 

 the largest seed growers in Hol- 

 land, we have obtained a supply 

 of the genuine seed, end offer it at 

 such a price as to bring it within 

 reachofall. The heads of this valu- 

 able sort are of mediumsize, averag- 

 ing a weight of eight pounds, are 

 very solid and deep, and of a 

 fine white color, making them en- 

 tirely distinct from anyother strain. 

 Their quality is superior, and they 

 keep Detter than any other 

 sort, the heads being juet as solid 

 and perfect when taken up in the) 

 springas when they are put away irm 

 the fall. No Cabbage will sell besides 

 it even if offered at half the price.

BUOKBEE'S GREAT DANE. 



For years large quantities of Danish Cabbage have beeu imported to 

 our leading American markets, the heads being of such solidity that 

 the demand has been far in excess of the supply, always at a price far 

 above the ml ing market rate. To get at the source of this supply I dispatched my European traveler d ireot to Denmark, and after care- 

 ful inspection of the cabbage-growing localities came to Amack, the home of the Great Dane. I will use Mr. Torgeson's (originator) 

 description, which, to say the least, is too modest to express the sterling qualities of this great winter Cabbage: "For more than twenty 



£ears I have worked in perfecting this variety. Heads are al most round as a ball, of good size, perfectly solid, very tine grained, of the 

 est quality. It is ahead of any variety grown on this side for shipping and all general uses, and I cannot too highly reoommend it to 

 gardeners in yonr land (America)." I control the entire stock of this variety, and offer it at the following very low prices: Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 30c; 2 oz. 55c; a lb. 90c; X lb. 81.60; lb. 83-00.

rpHEbest Becond early everintrodnced. Soeay thousands of my customers 

 X from all parts of the country who have carefully tested this grand 

 variety the past three years. The whole plant ia finely bred; there 

 Isnoauggestionof coarseness whatever, the veiningof the leaves and leaf 

 stems is particularly fine, the whole head being perfect throughout. It 

 has the peculiarity of heading firmly at an earl ystagein its growth, so that 

 the finest Cabbage, though small, can be obtained long before it has 

 attained its natural size. Its uniformityin shape, and large yield per 

 acre render it particularly valuable to truckers, and its compact form 

 and good quality will render it the finest second early Cabbaere. Pkt.

LUPTON G REflTEST ^ T yft 



THE LUPTON CABBAGE. 



THIS fine new Cabbage is accurately described as follows by the origi- 

 nator, Mr. J. M. Lupton: "It is the result of an effort to combine in 

 one variety the best qualities of the second early and the late sorts. It 

 is a little earlier than any one of the various strains of Flat Dutch and 

 Drumhead, and of closer growth. The heads are particularly large in 

 proportion to the plant, which grows strong but does not spread out 

 much. The stalk is rather short; color, dark green. The quality fine end 

 it is also one of the best keepers we have, end comes out in the spring 

 bright and fresh. The heads are not likely to crack open. As for uni- 

 formity, it will grow more uniform and head better than the late vari- 

 eties." Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c: % oz. 35c; % lb. 65c; H lb. 81.25;
