Cabbage Plants 



This is one of my specialties in vegetable 

 plants. I ship hundredsof thousands North for 

 early setting, and I understand the parties who 

 have been buying them have been highly pleased. 

 The demand for my plants has increased very 

 rapidly during the past few years, and I am plan- 

 ning for a still bigger increase this year. My early 

 Cabbage plants will be ready from the 1st to the 

 10th of April, and we grow the three leading varie- 

 ties, as follows: 



Early Jersey Wakefield. The best of the first 

 early Cabbage in cultivation. It forms fine, solid 

 heads of good size, conical in shape with few out- 

 side leaves. The quality is of the best. I offer this 

 as the earliest strain of this variety, and is sure to 

 give satisfaction. 



Large Charleston Wakefield. Selected stock; 

 large, solid heads of good quality. A few days later 

 than Early Jersey Wakefield, larger in size and com- 

 bines all the good qualities of an early, long-keeping 

 sort. 



Early Summer. This is one of the best of the 

 large, early flat-head varieties. It is an exceedingly 

 valuable market variety, adapted for close planting, 

 and will thereby give a large number of heads per 

 acre. Matures after ten days after Early Jersey 

 Wakefield. The heads are very compact and solid, 

 and usually double the weight of the Early Jersey 

 Wakefield. 



Snowball Cauliflower 



Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 



We can supply either of the above varieties, Si .25 

 for 500, S2 per 1,000, 10,000 or over at Si. 50 per 

 1,000. I especially solicit orders for Cabbage plants 

 from Northern growers. I believe that we can giva 

 you better plants early in the season and for less 

 money than you can grow them at home. 



Cauliflower 



My plants are very fine, grown from best im- 

 ported seed of Early Snowball. Ready any time 

 after April 15 at 75 cts. per 100, S4 per 1,000. 



Tomato Plants 



My Tomato plants are usually ready for the field 

 from May I and after. The plants I offer are about 

 6 inches high, well hardened and ready for open 

 field planting. I offer the following varieties: 

 Earliana, Chalk's Jewel, June Pink, and Allen's 

 Best. The price is Si per 100, $6 per 1,000 by ex- 

 press, receiver to pay charges. 



Eggplant 



I have been very successful in growing extra- 

 fine plants of this delicious vegetable, and offer the 

 two best varieties, Black Beauty and New York 

 Improved Spineless. Of the two I think Black 

 Beauty the best. Plants ready about May 10 to 

 15 and after. Price, $1 per 100, $8 per 1,000. 



Pepper Plants 



Well-grown, strong, stalky and hardened, 

 ready for the field during May and June.

You can have bigger and better crops if you 

 will. Let my little guidecalled "Success with 

 Small Fruits" give you some useful sugges- 

 tions. If you are not clear about soils for 

 Strawberries, preparation of the soil, time for 

 planting, etc., or want to know more about 

 the homeand distant market, this little guide 

 is just what you want. Blackberries, Rasp- 

 berries, Currants, Crapes, Dewberries As- 

 paragus. Rhubarb, etc., are so clearly de- 

 scribed that you cannot help but get some 

 useful information. This guide will be sent
