iCABBAGE. 



EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES, (for cabbage plants, see page 32.) 



Early Jersey Wakefield, Henderson's. This famous Cabbage was introduced 

 by us, and still retains its lead as the best first Early in cultivation. The 

 heads are of pyramidal shape, with blunt peaks, and are remarkably solid 

 The outside leaves are small, though of great substance, enabling the plants 

 to stand severe weather. Our seed is from highly-bred, selected stock and 

 is unequaled 



Early Charleston Wakefield. This is the largest Early Cabbage, which we 

 bred from the Early " Jersey " Wakefield, to meet a demand for a larger 

 heading sort. It possesses all of the valuable characteristics of the parent 

 with the advantage of the heads being fifty per cent, larger, though a few 

 days later. Our strain of the seed is very superior 



Early Spring, Henderson's. The only Early, round, flat-headed Cabbage; fully 

 one week earlier than any other flat Cabbage, and yielding one-third more 

 than any other extra early; it heads firmly, is fine-grained and of extra good 

 quality 



Early York. Very early, producing small, oval-shaped heads 



Early Winningstadt. An old, popular, medium early variety, with large, py 

 ramidal heads of excellent quality; good to succeed the extra earlies 



Miniature Marrow. Scarcely larger than a heading Lettuce, or about 6 inches 

 in diameter, nearly all heart with few outside leaves; very early and remark- 

 able for its fine delicate flavor 



St. John's Day Early Drumhead. Early, very dwarf; medium-rized, hard heads 

 SECOND EARLY or SUMMER VARIETIES. 



Early Summer, Henderson's. This peerless variety was introduced by us; it 

 makes a large, solid, round, flat head, coming in about ten days later than 

 Wakefield 



Fottler's Improved Brunswick. Heads large, flat and solid; a sure header, Ion, 

 standing ; short stem 



Succession, Henderson's. Universally conceded to be the grandest Cabbage 

 in existence for either summer or winter use; heads hard and uniform, 10 to 



12 lbs. in weight ; quality extra fine and a good keeper

 bages, producing enormous solid heads weighing 25 to 30 lbs.; interior crisp, 

 close, fine-grained, white; splendid keeper _
