STICKLER'S NEW MONEY MAKING 

 CABBBAGE— Has never been known to 

 fail since its introduction by us in 1902 

 and cannot be equalled as a positive crop- 

 per by any variety known on the market 

 to date. The extreme and varying con- 

 ditions of the past season only heightened 

 the popularity of this Cabbage as a 

 money-maker; this is evidenced by the 

 many testimonials received, from those 

 vfao have planted it. 



There are many reasons why this cab- 

 Oage supercedes all other varieties, viz 

 r .t is a sure header - every plant maKes a 

 head in size and solidity surpassed by 

 none; it keeps longer than any otner var- 

 iety, it grows bigger and better the long ■ 

 er it remains in the field — does not rot 

 or burst— and continues growing long 

 after all other sorts are matured. It will 

 stand after it matures, for weeks with- 

 out bursting. Due to tne sturdy nature 

 of this cabbage it resists droughts and 

 insects and NEVER FAILS TO MAK^ 

 A CROP! Reports of this cnaracter es 

 tablish the fact that this Cabbage is phe 

 nomenal in all respects and that money 

 can be made by raising this variety. The 

 true original stock-seed of this Cabbage 

 was procured by us, and seed offered br- 

 others is not the original "Money Making 

 Cabbage." 50c. per ounce; $1.50 per 1-i 

 pound, and $5.00 per pouna.
