 early Cabbage that I raise." 



(The Best Cabbage for Early 

 Spring Sales and for Shipping. 



THROUGH our connection with 

 the largest soed growers in Hol- 

 land, we have obtained a supply 

 of the genuine seed, and offer it at 

 such a price as to bring it within 

 reach of all. The heads of t his valu- 

 able sort are of medium size, averag- 

 ing a weight of eight pounds, are 

 very solid and deep, and of a 

 tine white color, making them en- 

 tirely distinct from any other strain. 

 Their quality is superior, and they 

 keep better than any other 

 sort,the heads being just as solid 

 and perfect when taken up in the 

 spring as when they are put away in 

 the fall. No Cabbage will sell beside 

 it even if offered nt half the price. 

 Pkt. 5c.; oz. 20c.; 2 oz. 35c;

BUCKBEE'S GREAT DANE. 



above the ruling market rate. 



For years large quantities of Danish Cabbage have been 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 

 s. To get at the source of this supply I dispatched my European traveler direct 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 

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

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

 gardeners in your land (America)." 1 control the entire stock of this variety, and offer it at the following very low prices: Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 30c.; 2 oz. 55c.; '4 lb. 90c; H lb. $1-60; lb. $3.00. 



THE GREAT 

 SECOND EARLY 



CABBAGE. 



BUCKBEE ' S "^^^ HE .EST 



ROCKFORD MARKET Second larl^ 

 BUCKBEE'S ROCKFORD MARKET. 



THEbest second early everintroduced. Sosay thousands of my customers 

 from all parta of the country who have carefully tested this grnnd 

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

 is no suggestion ot coarseness whatever, the veining of the leaves and leaf 

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

 has the peculiarity of heading firmly at an earlystage in its growth, so that 

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

 attained its natural^ size. Its uniformity in shape, and large yield per 

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

 and good quality will render it the fin*"=t second earlv Cabbace. Pkt.

THE LUPTON CABBAGE. 



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

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

 one variety the beet qualities of the secondearly 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 prows strong but does not spread out 

 much. The stalk is rather short; color, dark green. The quality tine and 

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

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

 formitv, it will prow more uniform and head better than the late vari- 

 eties." Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; X lb. 65c; X lb. $1.25;
