Red Dutch. Used almost exclusively for pickling. It 

 is one of the hardiest of all cabbages, and when preserved 

 will keep later in the season than any of them. It is slow 

 to mature, however, and requires a richer soil for its perfect 

 development. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; \ lb. 60 cts. 



All Seasons. A new Drumhead cabbage, as nearly early as 

 Henderson's Early Summer, yielding heads from a third to 

 a half as large again. As a rule, the earliest cabbages are only 

 good for early marketing ; but the beads of this sort, being 

 ^.rge and thick through, make it a most excellent variety, 

 either for extreme early spring or fall use. In sweetness, 

 tenderness and richness of flavor, it is very superior, and it is 

 earning an enviable reputation. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 

 i lb., 75 cts.

 summer or fall crop ; cannot be recommended as a keeper.
