VOLGA. — A main crop sort, very 

 desirable where large, uniformly round 

 heads with short stem and plants of 

 compact growth are wanted. This sort

AUTUMN KING, or WORLD 

 BEATER.— One of the finest strains of 

 Late Cabbage ever offered. It produces regular, even heads of enormous size, and can be rehed upon to produce 

 a greater weight of crop from the same space of ground than most of the late sorts, from the fact of its pro- 

 ducing so few outer leaves. Packet, 10c. Ounce, 25c. J4 pound, 90c. Pound, 83.00. 



SAVOY CABBAGE 



The Savoy or Ciu-ly Cabbages are of much finer flavor and quality than the best of other kinds, and should be 

 more generally cultivated. They are particularly adapted for private use, where quahty rather than quantity is 

 considered. Grown in the fall and allowed to be touched by frost, it is a most dehcious vegetable. 



IMPROVED AMERICAN SAVOY.— Far superior to the ordinary Drumhead Savoy offered under different 

 names. Heads large and very finely curled; short stalk, compact grower; sure header; keeps well. The best of all 

 Savoys for home use or market. Packet, 10c. Ounce, 25c. 34 pound, 75c. Pound, 82.50.

 Ounce, 25c. M poimd, 75c. Pound, 82.50. 



MAMMOTH RED ROCK CABBAGE 



(Extra Selected). — Although many so-called new varieties have been introduced, there is none, we believe, 

 superior to our strain of Large Red Drumhead. Wherever tried it has given imiversal satisfaction. Heads are large, 

 round, very solid and of a deep red color. Ninty-five per cent will form extra fine heads. Excellent for pickling. 

 Packet, 10c. Ounce, 30c. M pound, Sl.OO. Pound, 83.00. 



PREMIUM LATE FLAT DUTCH

 and broad, with flat tops; of fine flavor and quality; very short stems. Packet, 10c. Ounce. 20c. 34 pound, 75c. 

 Pound, 82.25. 



CHINESE IMPROVED, or PE-TSAI 



The improved strain we offer resembles when well grown Cos Lettuce rather than Cabbage. It is often called 

 Celery Cabbage on the market. 



The leaves of the plant when young are crimped at the edges, of Hght green color and appear like smooth- 

 leaved mustard, but with much broader and heavier midribs. The plant as it matures becomes more upright and 

 forms heads much Uke Cos Lettuce. The inner leaves blanch an attractive light j-eUow or creamy white with very 

 white midribs. It is of distinctive flavor, very mild and pleasant. It is served as a salad hke lettuce or cooked like 

 asparagus. 



Sow in this latitude after July 1st at the same time as turnips. The early planting of Pe-Tsai run quickly to seed 

 in hot weather. Sow in drills 14 to 20 inches apart and thin seedlings two or three times; or, if grown for the market, 

 start in bo.xes and transplant like late cabbage. Packet, 10c. Ounce, 25c. M pound, 90c. Pound, 83.00.

 frozen through the winter. Packet, 10c. Ounce, 40c. H, pound, 81.25.
