GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 





Steckler's New Leader. This cabbage 

 has been tested by our market gardeneTS 

 here who praise it and recommend it 

 very highly. It resembles somewhat that 

 of the Brunswick, but not quite so flat 

 and broad, but about the same season. It 

 is a regular header and uniform. 



Faultless. 



Faultless. This strain of cabbage is 

 one which we have been at work on for 

 several years until we have now, in our 

 judgment, one of the best stocks of 

 second early cabbage, a little earlier 

 than Stein's Early Flat Dutch; Temark- 

 ably uniform in its habit of growth; pro- 

 ducing deep flat heads which are very 

 hard. The stock heads up pracitically all 

 at one time. The leaves are light green 

 in color, broad with medium growth of 

 plant outside of heads. The field from 

 which the seed was taken produced fully 

 99 per cent of large heads, very uniform 

 in size and very attractive in appearance. 



Autumn King or World-Beater. An 

 extremely large and solid-heading varie- 

 ty. The plant is of extra strong growth, 



with dark bluish-green leaves growing 

 closely about the large flattened heads. 

 In good soil it will produce heads of 

 enormous size, but, of course, requires a 

 longer season for growth than do the 

 smaller varieties, 



Orleans Pride. Earliest variety head 

 cabbage. It is a selected cross between 

 the Jersey Wakefield and the Early Flat 

 Dutch, afterwards impiroved by selection 

 of stock until it produces uniformly a 

 fine head. This cabbage is the earliest 

 flat heading cabbage that is now known 

 in any market, maturing at about the 

 same season as the Charleston Wakefield. 

 It should be planted closely in rows, as 

 there is but little outside growth, and, 

 when so planted, will produce fine crops 

 of solid heads of very fine quality. 

 Wherever it has been used, we have had 

 most excellent reports from it. We re- 

 commend same highly for market and 

 family use. 



Orleans Pride.
