Buckbee's Reliable Cabbage Seed. 



German, Kopfkohl; French) Chou-Pomme ; Spanish, Repollo; Swedish, Kal. One-half lb. of seed in beds, to transplant, for an acre. 



One of the chief departments of my seed growing business consists of growing- Cabbage for seed only. My 

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

 most reliable and produces more good, marketable heads per acre than any offered." And from the many thous- 

 ands of unsolicited testimonials which I have received from all over the country I have reason to believe that the 

 time which I personally spend in my Cabbage fields is truly appreciated by many thousands of customers, who 

 stand by me in saying: "BUCKBEE'S SEEDS ARE THE VERY BEST." 



CHEAP CABBAGE SEED. It is the poorest investment in the world ; the failure can never be known until 

 an en. ire season's labor and outlay are lost. My seed is grown from SELECTED HEADS and saved from 

 center shoots. 



ALL-HEAD EARLY. 



A first-class novelty. We quote the origi- 

 nator's description, "Earliest of all large 

 i \i Mages, often coming in before Early 

 Summer. It is at least one-third larger than 

 this popular variety, and therefore much 

 mo- e profitable to the market gardener, who 

 has in th s variety a Cabbage larger and at 

 the same time earlier— considerations of the 

 greatest importance, while the All-head 

 Early has that quality to be desired for ear- 

 liness; is also valuable for late winter Cab- 

 bage Seed of the All-head sown in July and 

 plants set out about the middle of August 

 wLl bring heads large and solid, which are 

 sure to stand the winter well." Pit 4c ; oz; 12c;

Estra Early Winningstadt— One of the best for 

 general use, being a very line header and 

 win grow a hard head under circumstances 

 where most sorts would fail, soth.tt those 

 who have failed with other kinds could hope 

 to succeed wth this. It seems to suffer less 

 from the cahhage worm than any other sort. 

 Plant very compact, with short, thick leaves. 

 Heads regular, conical and ve> y hard.
