Crescent City J^^lat Dutch. 



Crescent City Flat Dutch. This variety 

 has been sold, under the name of No. 1. 

 It is the most uniform heading cabbage, 

 suitable for this section; heads are large 

 and solid. About two weeks earlier than 

 the Superior Large Late Flat Dutch. Re- 

 commend the same highly. 



St. Louis Late Market. The Very Best 

 Laite Cabbage in Existence. It never 

 fails to make a crop; runs heavy in 

 weight owing to its size and solidity; is 

 the longest keeper of any; gets bigger 

 and better the longer it stands and never 

 rots or bursts; resists drouth and insects 

 by its siturdy constitution; can be cut as 

 early as any late sort, continues grow- 

 nig after others have matured, 



Danish Bail Head— (Hollander). This 

 extra hard-heading variety originated in 

 Denmark. Tit is the medium-sized, hard 

 white that is received from abroad dur- 

 ing the early spring months, and even 

 after the long journey arrives in splendid 

 condition. It is a medium or late va- 

 riety, used mostly as a winter cabbage. 



Louisville Drumhead. A strong and 

 vigorous, but not coarse growing sort of 

 Flat Dutch type. Plants short stemmed 

 and compact, with broad, well rounded, 

 large leaves, very full at base. Head 

 semi-flat, thick and of good quality. 



Early Flat Dutch. An intermediate 

 kind between the early pointed and late 

 varieties. It is not, on an average, as 

 heavy as the Oxheart ot Winningstadt, 

 but if raised for the market more suit- 

 able on account of being flat. Very good 

 variety for family use. 



Early Drumhead. A similar variety to 

 the above; a little earlier, and not mak- 

 ing as many leaves, it can be planted 

 close. A good early spring cabbage. 



Sure Head. 



Sure Head — (Genuine Stock from the 

 Originator). Remarkable for its certain- 

 ty to head. Produces very large, flattened 

 heads, weighing from ten to fifteen 

 pounds; very uniform and firm. 



Creole. A northern strain of Flat 

 Dutch grown in Louisiana some years, 

 making it a hybrid; can be planted as 

 early as June 1st. It is generally used 

 for bunch greens but often affords a good, 

 hard head of dark greenish color. 



Large Flat Brunswick. This is a late 

 German variety, introduced here many 

 years ago by Richard Frotscher. It is an 

 excellent kind, and when well headed up 

 the shape of it is a true type of a pre- 

 mium Flat Dutch Cabbage. 



Improved Early Summer. This variety 

 is deservedly popular with the market 

 gardeners. It forms large, solid, round, 

 flattened, compact heads of excellent 

 quality. The heads average more than 

 double the size of the Jersey Wakefield, 

 while it matures only ten to twelve days 

 later. The leaves turn into ithe heads so 

 completely that about 9,000 plants may 

 be set in an acre, making a very profit- 

 able crop. 



Premium Late Drumhead. A standard 

 late Cabbage, with full, firm, solid, round 

 heads of immense size and excellent 

 fiavor; a good keeping, excellent market 

 variety. 



Fotler's Short Stem Brunswick. A 

 rapid grower; large, solid heads and few 

 outside leaves; planted early it is ready 

 for use in July; planted late it is a choice 

 winter sort. 



Our Re&istered Berkshire Hogs are the Best Stock in both Continents.
