W we offer is of especial value because of the uniform- 1 V, 

 ity and close adherence to the type in habit of ( 

 growth and the shape and quality of the head. The / ^ 

 plants are more compact, the leaf smoother and ' . 

 thicker and the heads larger and a little more round I 

 than the Early Summer. We consider this one of 

 the best second early sorts on our list and recom- 

 mend it for both the market and home use. Pkt,, 5c;

I Early Dwarf 

 Flat Dutch 



Continued experience 

 confirms our belief that 

 this is a most valuable 

 second early sort. The 

 plants are short stemmed, upright and having com 

 paratively few and short leaves, they can be planted 

 close together. Heads large, solid, crisp and tender, 

 maturing with Early Summer. Every plant will 

 form a hard head fit for market and will mature 

 much earlier than the Late Flat Dutch or other sorts 

 usually grown for market and shipping. Our care- 

 fully selected strain should not be confounded with 

 the inferior, later stocks frequently offered as Early 

 Flat Dutch. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 0z.35c; !^Lb. 60c;

and sure to head. Owing to its 

 compact and upright habit of 

 growth and peculiar texture of 

 short, thick leaf the variety seems 

 to suffer less from the cabbage 

 worm than any other sort. 

 Heads regular,conical,very hard, 

 and keep well both summer and 

 winter. It is the hardiest, not 

 only as regards frost, but will 

 suffer less from excessive wet, 

 drought, insects or disease, than 

 any other second early sort. This 

 is one of the oldest sorts in culti- 

 vation and one whose reputation 

 has suffered through the sale of 

 degenerated and inferior stock. We have 

 devoted a great deal of time and labor to 

 the development of the strain we offer 

 and send it out confident that it is one of 

 the best and purest stocks of Winnigstadt in the country

All QA8»c:r\r^c ^°^ ^^ ^^^ earliest of the second early sorts 

 ^^** OCCXotlllo and is the sort generally grown on Long 

 Island for the New York market. Head very large, round, often 

 nearly spherical but usually somewhat flattened,' very solid and of 

 the best quality, keeping as well as the winter sorts. Plant very 

 vigorous and sure heading; leaves large, smooth, with dense bloom. 

 Remarkable for its ability to stand the hot sun and dry weather. 

 Our trial has shown that heads which were fit 

 for market by July 10th were still salable 

 September 10th, the only change being in- 

 creased size and density. One of the very best 

 sorts for general cultivation, for if planted for 

 fall crop and stored, it remains in fine condi- 

 tion until late in spring. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 20c;

I^Fottler's Early Drumhead 



or Brunswick Short Stem 



In maijy sections, particularly in the east, this is the most pop- 

 ular cabbage grown, and it certainly is one of the very best 

 second early sorts in cultivation, especially for the home gar- 

 den. It keeps well both under the sun and during the winter 

 and we think has proved one of the best all seasons cabbage 

 in cultivation. Head large, very flat, compact, solid and of 

 fine quality. We have taken pains to have our stock free ; 

 from the longer stemmed, coarse plants often seen in inferior 

 stocks of this variety. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 36c;
