 "Buckbee's Race Horse is the nicest' 

 early Cabbage tliat I raise." 



DUTCH WINTER 

 or HOLLANDER 



The heads, which are of medium 

 size, average a weight of eight 

 pounds, are very solid and deep, 

 and of a fine white color, making 

 them entirely distinct from any 

 other strain. Their quality is su- 

 perior, 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 Eell beside 

 it, even if offered at half the price. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 36c; 

 i lb. 65c; l lb. $1.25.: lb. $2.00. 



BUCKBEE'S GREAT DANE 



For years large quantities of Danish Cabbage have been imported to our 

 leading American markets, the heads being of such solidity that the de- 

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

 the ruling market rate. To get at the source of this supply I dispatched my European traveler direct to Denmark, and after 

 careful 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, per- 

 fectly solid, very fine 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)." I control the entire stock of this variety, 

 and offer it at the following very low prices: Pkt. 10c; OZ. 30c; 2 OZ. 55c; i lb. 90c; * lb. $1.60.; lb. $3.00. 



BUCKBEE'S 

 R0CKF0RD 

 MARKET 



The Best Second Early Ever Introduced. 



So say thousands of my customers from all 

 parts of the country who have carefully tested 

 this grand variety the past three years. The 

 whole plant is finely bred; there is no sug- 

 gestion of 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 early stage 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 com- 

 pact form and good quality easily make it the finest second early 

 Cabbage. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 85c; i lb. 65c; } lb. $1.25; lb. $2.00. 



Gregory's All Seasons — One of the most desirable new sorts, and very 

 popular. as a market gardener's Cabbage. The heads are hard and 

 solid, round, flattened on top, of very best quality, and are ready for 

 market nearly as early as Early Summer, often larger in size. Noted 

 for its ability to stand a hot Summer and dry weather. 



Pkt. Sc.; oz. 12c; 2 oz. 23c; J lb. 40c; * lb. 75c; lb. $1.40. 



Mammoth Red Rock — Certainly the finest and by far the best new 

 variety of red Cabbage on the market. The heads will average over 

 ten pounds each, and are always of rich red color inside as well as out- 

 side, while they are almost (literally) as hard as rock. Try it. 

 Pkt. 4c; oz. 12c; 2 oz. 23c; i lb. 45c; * lb. 80c; lb. $1.50. 



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 vegetables. 



Pkt. 3c; oz. 12c; 2 oz. 20c; i lb. 35c; * lb. 65c; lb. $1.25. 



The Great Succession — A second early, but also valuable for 



main crop. Sure crop, no matter when planted. Large size and true 

 conformation coupled with rare quality. 



Pkt. 4c; oz. 12c; 2 oz. 23c; i lb. 45c; i lb 80c; lb. $1.60. 



Autumn King — A grand, good variety of Winter Cabbage. It is 

 a splendid keeper, heads weigh up to thirty pounds; fine grained, 

 crisp and white. Has few outer leaves, plants all going to head. 

 Pkt. 4c; oz. 12c; 2 oz. 23c; } lb. 45c; i lb. 80c; lb. $1.50.
