Frotscher's Superior Large Late Plat Dutch. 



FBOTSCEES'S SUPERIOR LAEGE 

 LATE PLAT DUTCH. — This is the most 

 popular variety for winter cabbage, and 

 cultivated by almost every gardener who 

 plants for the New Orleans market. Heads 

 are large and solid, often weighing- from 

 15 to 25 pounds. In regard to the time of 

 planting, see remarks under the head of 

 'Cab: age" in the directions for planting 

 for July. We have tried seed of the Flat 

 Dutch from different growers, but have 

 found none yet to equal the stock which is 

 raised for us by contract. 



Sure Head. 



SURE HEAD. — (Genuine Stock from the 

 •jri2inator. ) Remarkable for its certainty 

 to head. Produces very large, flattened 

 heads, weighing from ten to fifteen pounds; 

 very uniform and firm. 



FAULTLESS. — This strain of cabbage 



is one which we have been at work on for 



pal year? until we have it now, in our 



Faultless. 



judgment, one of the best stocks of second 

 early cabbage, a little earlier than Stein's 

 Early Flat Dutch; remarkably uniform in 

 its habit of growth; producing deep flat 

 heads which are very hard. The stock 

 heads up practically all at one time. The 

 leaves are light green in color, broad with 

 medium growth of plant outside of heads. 

 The field from which the seed was taken 

 produced fully 99 per cent of large heads. 

 very uniform in size and very attractive in 

 appearance. 



EARLY FLAT DUTCH. — An inter- 

 mediate kind between the early pointed and 

 late varieties. It is not. on an average, as 

 heavy as the Oxheart or Winningstadt, but 

 if raised for the market more suitable on 

 account of being fiat. Very good variety 

 for family use. 



EARLY YORK. — An early variety, grown 

 here mostly for family use. Highly recom- 

 mended. 



LARGE YORK. — About two or three 

 weeks later than the above, forming hard 

 heads not grown for the market. Recom- 

 mended for family use. 



Best of All Beans, we know of no better for all purposes.
