Steckler's New Money Making*. 



STECKLER'S TSTEW MONET MAKING.— 



Has npver been known to fail since its 

 introduction by us in 1902, and cannot be 

 equalled as a positive cropper by any 

 variety known on the market to date. The 

 extreme and varying- conditions of the 

 climate have only heig-htened the popu- 

 larity of this Cabbag-e as a money-maker; 

 this is evidenced by the many testimonials 

 received from those who have planted it. 

 There are many reasons why this Cabbag-e 

 supersedes all other varieties, viz: it is a 

 sure header, every plant makes a head in 

 size and solidity surpassed by none; it 

 keeps longer than any other variety, grows 

 bigg-er and better the longer it remains in 

 the field — does not rot or burst. 



ALL HEAD EARLY.— The larg-est head- 

 ing- of the second early sorts, of excellent 

 quality. The deep flat heads are remark- 

 ably solid, and very uniform in size, of a 

 very compact growth, having- few outer 

 leaves; can be planted as close as the 

 Wakefield. 



EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD.— The 



best first-early oblong--headed cabbag-e. 

 The heads are uniformly hard and solid. 

 They are pyramidal in form, g^enerally 

 pointed at the end, with but few outside 

 leaves. The outer leaves are unusually 

 thick and heavy, and it is thereby enabled 

 to stand more cold weather without injury 

 when carried throug-h the winter either in 

 the open ground in the South or in cold- 

 frames in the North. 



SELECTED EARLY JERSEY WAKE- 

 FIELD. — Has attained a big reputation 

 with truckers and market gardeners wher- 

 ever g-rown. It is an ideal market garden- 

 er's first early cabbage, and is suited alike 

 for the family garden and market. Not 

 only is the head large and solid for so 

 early a cabbag-e. but the outside foliage 

 permits of close planting-, and its uniform- 

 ity and reliability for producing: a crop 

 makes it a general favorite. 



ST. DENIS OR CHOTJ BONNEUIL.— A 



very popular variety. Can be planted in 

 late spring and early fall. 



FRIDE OF THE SOUTH.— An excellent 

 variety, resembling the German Brunswick 

 closely in appearance and color, but more 

 globular in shape, not quite as large and 

 equally as early. In growth it is very 

 uniform, heading regular and very firm 

 and is a good shipping variety. The seed 

 should be sown during the months of 

 October and November for spring crop and 

 will come in at the same time with the 

 Brunswick and Early Summer. 



LARGE FLAT BRUNSWICK. — This is a 

 late Germ.an 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 premium 

 Flat Dutch Cabbage. This is an old 

 standard variety Of our own importation. 



ALL SEASON. — An excellent market 

 variety, the heads are large and solid, 

 globular in shape, the ribs pinkish and not 

 quite as thick as of the Superior Flat 



I Dutch. Will stand heat and drouth better 



I than any other variety. 



Market Gardeners Give Steckler's Seeds Preference.
