COPENHAGEN MARKET CABBAG-E. — 



An entirely new and distinct Cabbag-e, 

 and the characteristics marking- it are of 

 so desirable a nature as to make it the 

 most valuable Cabbage in its class, and it 

 is in the group of the Extra Early or First 

 Early varieties. It produces perfectly 

 ball-shaped heads, hard and solid — still as 

 finely grained in texture as any Cabbag-e, 

 and when fully matured will averagre a 

 weig-ht of eight pounds. It possesses a 

 most remarkable earliness in this, that it 

 matures as early as the Charleston Wake- 

 field, yet it produces heads that are far 

 blg-ger and more substantial. 



AUTUMN KING OR WORLD-BEATEB.— 



An extremely largre and solid heading- 

 variety. 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. 



GREEN GZ.OBE SAVOY.— Medium sized 

 heads, not very hard, but all the leaves can 

 be used. This and the following varieties 

 are of fine flavor, and preferred by many 

 over the other kinds. 



EARI.Y DWARF SAVOY.— Head rather 

 small but solid; leaves very curled and 

 succulent; of a dark green color. Very fine 

 for family garden. 



DRUMHEAD SAVOY. — Leaves are 



wrinkled, but not quite so much as the 



foregoing kinds. It grows to a good size 

 with a large roundish head. 



EARZiY YORK. — An early variety, grown 

 here mostly for family use. Highly recom- 

 mended. 



Z.ARGE YORK. — About two or three 

 weeks later than the above, forming hard 

 heads not grown for the market. Recom- 

 mended for family use. 



CHARLESTON WAKEPIELD.— This is 



a few days later than the Early Jersey 



' Wakefield, but makes a larger and firmer 

 head. We strongly recommend it as the 



j best main crop early cabbage grown for 

 the home garden and market. Our seed of 



I this is grown from a specially selected 



I stock. 



DANISH BAX.!^ HEAD (Hollander, or 



j Amag'er). — This variety has become famous 

 ! in this country and cannot be too highly 

 ; recommended; it has also been for over a 

 century the famous Cabbage of Denmark, 

 j and is about the only variety grown by the 

 market gardeners of that country and the 

 adjacent islands of the Baltic for an early 

 1 Summer^. Fall or Winter crop, which is ex- 

 ported in large quantities; it is so highly 

 j prized that there is a great rivalry among 

 I them in the improvement of the stock seed, 

 which each one raises for his own sowing; 

 I the heads are round, very solid, of medium 

 size, fine grain and good keepers; for boil- 

 ; ing slaw or sauer kraut it is unsurpassed; 

 I the seed which we offer is of our own im- 

 , portation, direct from one of the most ex- 

 tensive growers of Denmark. 



I FAUIiTIiESS. — This strain of cabbage 

 is one which we have been at work on for 

 several years until we have it now, in our 



I judgment, one of the best stocks of second 

 early cabbage, a little earlier than Stein's 

 Early Flat Dutch; remarkably uniform in 

 its habit of growth; producing deep flat 

 heads which are very hard. The stock 

 heads up practically 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. 



EARI.Y LARGE OXHEART.— An excel- 

 lent variety, which is later than the Large 

 York, and well adapted for sowing in fall 

 or early spring. 



EARLY WINNINGSTADT. — This is a 

 very solid heading variety; pointed, of good 

 size and of the same season as the Oxheart. 

 Very good.
