 One ounce of seed will produce 1,500 plants. One-half pound of seed in beds, to transplant for an acre. 



One of the chief departments of my seed growing business consists of growing cabbage for the seed only, and my 

 stock has reached such a high point of merit that it is a household word everywhere that " Buckbee's Cabbage 

 Seed i8 the most reliable and produces more good marketable beads per acre than any offered." And 

 from tne many thousands of unsolicited testimonials that I I'eceive from all over the country I have reason to believe 

 that the lime whica I personally spend in my cabbage lields is truly appreciated by my many thousand customers who stand by me 

 La saying "Buckbee's Western Grown Seeds are the very best." 



CULTURE ^^^^ more southern states the seed should be planted in accordance with the season, but in our northern states 



they must be sown in hot beds in February and when large enough transplanted, then placed in cold frames to 

 harden and attain a size large enough for transplanting outside. In planting it is very important that the plant be set down 

 to the first leaf so that the stem is all under groi.ad. for if exposed it is apt to be split by action of the frost and will be injured 

 in consequence. The plants should be transplanted to the open ground as early as season will allow. This earliest ci'op ma- 

 tures in June ; for second early, the early kinds should be sown fiirst week in April and planted out in May. This crop should 

 mature in July and August. The late varieties are usually sown in the early part of May and the plants' set out in July. This crop 

 matures in September, October or November. By planting 'my reliable cabbage seed you will be sure of the best crop. 



CHEAP CABBAGE SEED poorest investment in the world; the failure can never be known 



until an entire season's labor and outlay is lost. MY SEED IS GROW N 

 FROM SELECTED HEADS AND SAVED FROM CENTER SHOOTS. 



Buckbee's New Race Horse — (See cut.)— The earliest cab-! 

 bage in cultivation. Ready to use in 60 days from the time of 

 planting. Heads are Oi fair size, weigh from 8 to 13 pounds, have 

 but few outside leaves and therefore may be planted very clo 

 together and yield large crops, always of fine flavor and ver' 

 solid. I control the entire stock of this earliest of all va-^ 

 rieties. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, li m. T5c, lb. -SI. 25. 1 tt>. -§3,00. 



True Early Jer.sey Wakefield — (See cut.) — Stands today 

 in an exalted position among early cabbages. It is grown mor 

 exclusively for market (Buckbee's New Queen excepted) tha 

 any other early cabbage and it is so universally popular wi 

 market gardeners that I have devoted particular atlention/to 

 growing the choicest and most valuable strain. It is alwayjf of 

 good size, very solid and has but few outside leaves, a reliable 

 header and ahvavs gives arood satisfaction for every purpose.

Henderson's Early Summer — (See cut.) — This variety is de- 

 servedly popular with market gardeners. It forms large, solid, 

 round, flattened, compact heads" of excellent quality. The heads 

 average more than double the size of the Jei'sey Wakefield, Vi'hile 

 it matures only 10 to 13 days later. The leaves turn into the 

 heads so completely that about 9,000 plants may beset to an acre, 

 making a very pro.ntable ci'op. My seed is ti-ue aud grown from 

 onlv the most choice and solid heads. Pkt. 4c, oz. 15c, lb. 50c, 

 }■< lb. SOc, 1 lb. §1.50. 



Gregory's All Seasons — One of themost desirable new sorts and 

 very popular as a market gardeners" cabbage. The heads ai'e verj' 

 hard and solid, round, flattened on the top, of the very best 

 quality and ready to market nearly as early as Early Summer, 

 often larger in size. Very sure heading, noted for its ability to 

 stand the liot summer suu and dry weather. Pkt. 4c. oz. 15c, 

 lb. SOc. K lb. SOc, 1 ib. -SI. .50. 



Allhead Early— A first-class novelty. We quote the originators 

 descriotion: Earliest of all large cabbages, often coming in be- 

 fore Early Summer, i1 is at least one-third larger than this popu- 

 lar variety and ther efore much more profitable to the market 

 gardeners, who have in this variety a cabbage larger and at the 

 same time earlier — considerations of the greatest importance, 

 while the Allhead Early has that quality to be desired for earli- 

 ness, it is also valuable for late winter cabbage. Seeds of the 

 Allhead sown in July and plants set out a Dout the middle of 

 August, will brinT heads large and solid, wnieh are sure to stand 

 the winter well. You will not be disappointed in this new mag- 

 nificent variety. Pkt. 4c, cz. SOc. X lb. 75c. i-r, lb. .S1.25. 1 lb. .S3. 



E.vtra Early Winningstadt — A well known and very popu- 

 lar early variety. Heads large, decidedl^v conicaL. solid and hard,

 valuable not onlv for early use but also for winter cabbage. Pkt.

New Dutch Winter or Hollander— (See cut.)— Best cabbage 

 for early spring sales. For years v>ast shipments of cabbage have 

 been made from Holland" and sold in the American markets at 



' prices nearly double home grown cabbage. To n:;-;'^ the gi'eat 

 demand for this certainly masrnificent cabbage I dispatched my 

 European traveler direct to Holland and have succeeded in 

 securing the very choicest strain of stock seed, direct fi'om the 

 originator. The heads of this valuable sort are of medium size, 

 very solid, and of fine white color, making it distinct from any 

 other strain, quality is superior and they will keep better than 

 any other sort, the heads being just as solid and perfect when 

 taken up in the spring as when they were put away in the fall. 

 You should not fail to secure this variety for it will more than 

 meet vour expectations for everv purpose. Choicest Stock

 producing large round, flattened heads of the "Flat Dutch" type 

 and is remarkable for its certainty to head. Heads are remark- 

 ably uniform, very hard, firm and fine in texture and weigh from 

 10 to 15 pounds, very sweet flavored, has scarcely any loose 

 leaves, keeps well, good for shipping and is just the quality to 

 suit market gardeners, farmers and all lovers of good cabbage,

 .ckbee's Great Dane— (See cut. j-The most promising cabbage 

 rovelty of the season. For years large quantities of Danish cab- 

 bage have been exported to our leading American pjarkets. the 

 heads being of such solidity that the demand has been far in ex- 

 cess of the supply, always at a price far above the ruling market 

 rate. To get at'the source of this supply I dispatched my Euro- 

 pean traveler direct to Denmark, the home of the Ball-Head 

 cabbage, and after careful inspection of the cabbage growing lo- 

 calities came to Amack. the home of the Great Dane I will use 

 Mr. Torgesen's (originator) description, which to say the most 

 is too modest to express the sterling qualities of this great win- 

 ter cabbage : "For more than 20 year.^ I have worked in perfect- 

 ing this variety, taking as a parent stock 'Danisli" Bali- Head, from 

 which variety it is a vast improvement, the heads being almost 

 round as a ball of good size, perfectly solid, very fine grained, of 

 extremely delicate coolring quality. It is ahead of any variety 

 grown on this side, for shipping and all general uses and I canuot 

 too highly recommend it to the gardeners and cabbage fanciers 

 in your land (America)." My supply of seed is very naturally 

 limited this season but I have decided to place this grand acquisi- 

 tion on the market in reach of all as long as the stock lasts at 

 the following very low price: Pkt. 5c, oz. 2.5c. y lb. 00c. 1 lb. -*3. 

 Buckbee's Faultless— One of the best second early and fall va- 

 rieties ever introduced, is absolutely "Faultless." Has been in 

 popular and gi-owing demand ever since its introduction, sure tO' 

 head, large and firm ; has but few outside leaves, of extremely 

 vigorous constitution ; a rapid grower, and is the peer of all va- 

 rieties of this class : an excellent keeper and I can recommend it 

 both for family and market uses, Pkt. 4c, oz. SOc. }^ lb, 75c,

 Buckbee's Mammoth Late Plat Dutch— This is the money 

 maker among late cabbages for gardeners and for family use it 

 ranks hish. Heads are lartre, sound, very solid, broad, flat 

 on top and of a beautiful bluish gi-een color, with but few outside 

 Icwes. The quality is fine and flavor excellent, heads being, 

 when open, crisp and white. You will make no mistake in plant- 

 ins this truly ffood variety. Pkt. 5c, oz. SOc, }4 lb- <5c. H lb.

 Mammoth Late Bridgeport Drumhead— (See cut.)— This is 

 the standard shipping sort, it makes a large, round, firm head, 

 which seldom bursts or rots. It is now indeed one of the most 

 profitable sorts to grow, and will give you unbounded satisfaction 

 for everv purpose. Pkt, 5c. oz. 30c, 34 lb. 7.5c, lb. .?1.35, 1 lb. >"2. 

 31ammot'h Red Rock— Certainly the finest and by far the best 

 new variety of red cabbage on the market. The heads will aver- 

 age over 10 pounds each and are always of rich red colo" in- 

 side as well as outside, while they are almost fliterally) as hard 

 as a rock. You will do well to trv it, Pkt, 5c, oz. SOc, }X lb. 75c.

 Improved American Savoy— Very valuable variety, being of 

 much finer flavor and quality than the best of other cabbage. 

 Particularly adapted for private use, where quality rather than 

 quantity is desired. Grown in fall and allowed to be touched 

 by frost, it is one of the most delicious of all vesretables. Pkt.
