EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 



*EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIEXD.— This cab- 

 bage has been for many years the leading early cab- 

 bage of America. The main difficulty has been to get 

 a pefectly satisfactory and reliable strain of seed. 

 Those that I am offering are from one of the best 

 growers in Long Island, which has been giving ex- 

 cellent satisfaction. This variety has few out-side 

 leaves, and in compactness and regularity cannot 

 t>e excelled. The thick stout leaves and compact 

 habit makes it the best variety for early setting. It 

 frequently matures inside of one hundred days from 

 sowing. The seed of the Early Jersey Wakefield, ow- 

 ing to its compact habit of growth can be planted 

 closer than most varieties. Pkt. 5c. ; oz. 15c. ; 1-4 

 lb. 50c. ; 111. $1.40. 



* AT. T. SEASONS. — As early as Drumhead cab- 

 bage, yielding heads of the largest size, very desirable 

 for the early spring, summer or fall use. It is a great 

 favorite with manv growers. Pkt. 5c. ; oz. 15c. ; 1-4 

 lb. 50c. : 11). .<1..50. 



♦DANISH BALLHEAD.— Our stock of this 

 famous and popular cabbage is of the best imported. 

 The Danish Ballhead was introduced from Denmark 

 over twentv-tive years ago. Our seed of this variety 

 Is of the best. It is highly esteemed for winter use 

 because of its great solidity and excellent keeping 

 qualities. The heads are more solid than those of 

 any other late variety grown, and will usually weigh 

 about one-fourth more than the same measure of any 

 other variety. By referring to your market conditions 

 you will almost always see the Danish Ballhead offered 

 at a premium over ail other kinds. Pkt. 5c. ; oz. 15c. ; 

 1-4 lb. 5«c. : lb. $1.75.

CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD 



♦CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD.— A large and 

 very distinct type of the Jersey Wakefield. It re- 

 quires rather more time to reach maturity, but yields 

 fully twice the crop of the original Wakefield, and is 

 about ten days later. It is a s-train which cannot pro- 

 fitably be overlooked by any gardener whether he Is 

 growing cabbage for his local market or to ship. 

 All thn market gardeners near the big Eastern cities 

 plant Charleston Wakefield for second early, and there 



is no better. Its heads are somewhat less pointed 

 than the extra early strain. Charleston Wakefield la 

 a good keeper and may be planted as a second crop 

 to mature in the fall for autumn and winter nse. !t 

 is highly recommended as one of the best all-around 

 varieties, and is a general favorite with all who have 

 grown it. Pkt. 5c.: oz. 1.5c.: 1-4 lb. 50c.; lb. $1.40.

 a longer season than do the earlier and smaller va-
