GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



DANISH BALL 

 HEAD. — (Hollander). 

 This extra hard-head- 

 ing- variety originated 

 in Denmark. It is 

 the medium- sized, 

 hard white that is re- 

 ceived from abroad 

 during the early- 

 spring months, and 

 even after the long 

 journey arrives in 

 splendid condition. It 

 is a medium or late 

 variety, used mostly 

 as a winter cabbage. 



LARGS PLAT 

 BRUNSWICK. —This 

 is a late German va- 

 riety, introduced here 

 many years ago by 

 Richard Frotscher. It 

 is an excellent kind, 

 and when well headed 

 up the shape of it is 

 a true type of a pre- 

 mium Flat Dutch 

 Cabbage. 



PREMIUM LATE 

 DRUM HE A D. — A 

 standard late cabbage 

 with full, firm, solid, 

 round heads of im- 

 mense size and excel- 

 lent flavor; a good 

 keeping- and excellent 

 market variety. 



PREMIUM LATE 

 FLAT DUTC H. — 

 Among- the earliest 

 of the winter Cab- 

 bages; of fine flavor, 

 very tender. 



AUTUMN KING OR WORLD-BEATER. 



An extremely large and solid heading 

 variety. The plant is of extra strong 

 growth, with dark bluish-green leaves 

 growing closely about the large flattened 

 heads. In good soil it will produce heads 

 of enormous size, but, of course, requires 

 a longer season for growth than do the 

 smaller varieties. 



JERSEY WAKEPIELD. — Very popular; 

 is of medium size and heads up well. 



Crescent City Plat Dutch. 



Danish Ball Head, 



GREEN* GLOBE SAVOY.— Medium sized 

 heads, not very hard, but all the leaves can 

 be used. This and the following varieties 

 are of fine flavor, and preferred by many 

 over the other kinds. 



EARLY DWARP SAVOY.— Head rather 

 small but solid; leaves very curled and 

 succulent; of a dark green color. Very fine 

 for family garden. 



DRUMHEAD SAVOY. — Leaves are 



wrinkled, but not quite so much as the 



foregoing kinds. It grows to a good size 

 with a large roundish head. 



CRESCENT CITY PLAT DUTCH.— 



This variety has been sold under the 

 name of No. 1. It is the most uniform 

 heading cabbage, suitable for this sec- 

 tion; heads are large and solid. About 

 two weeks earlier than the Superior 

 Large Late Flat Dutch. Recommend 

 the same highly. 



IMPROVED EARLY SUMMER. — This 



variety is deservedly popular with the 

 market gardeners. It forms large, solid, 

 round, flattened, compact heads of ex- 

 cellent quality. The heads average 

 more than double the size of the Jersey 

 Wakefield, while it matures only ten to 

 twelve days later. The leaves turn into 

 the heads so completely that about 

 9,000 plants may be set in an acre. 

 making a very profitable crop. 



FOTLER'S SHORT STEM BRUNS- 

 WICK. — A rapid grower; large, solid 

 heads and few outside leaves; planted 

 early it. is ready for use in July; planted 

 late it is a choice winter sort. 



When You Get it from Steckler It's Good.
