An~extremely large and solid heading 
variety. The plant is of extra strong 
growth, with darg 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 GLOBE 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. 
EARLY DWARF SAVOY.—Head rather 
small but solid; leaves very curled and 
succulent; of a dark green color. Very fine 
for family garden. 
DRUMBHEAD SAVOY. are 
wrinkled, but not quite so much as the 
foregoing kinds. It grows to a good size 
with a large roundish head. 
EARLY YORK.—An early variety, grown 
here mostly for family use. Highly recom- 
mended. 
LARGE YORK.—About two or three 
weeks later than the above, forming hard 
heads not grown for the market. Recom- 
mended for family use. 
CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD.—This is 
a few days later than the Early Jersey 
Wakefield, but makes a larger and firmer 
head. We strongly recommend it as the 
best main crop early cabbage grown, for 
the home garden and market. Our seed of 
sus grown from a_e specially selected 
stock. 
DANISH BALL HEAD (Hollander, or 
Amager).—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, 
and is about the only variety grown by the 
market gardeners of that country and the 
adjacent islands of the Baltic for an early 
Summer, Fall or Winter crop, which is ex- 
ported in large quantities; it is so highly 
prized that there is a great rivalry among 
them in the improvement of the stock seed, 
which each one raises for his own sowing; 
the heads are round,. very solid, of medium 
size, fine grain and good keepers; for boil- 
ing slaw or sauer kraut it is unsurpassed; 
the seed which we offer is of our own im- 
portation, direct from one of the most ex- 
tensive growers of Denmark. 
FAULTLESS.— This strain of cabbage 
is one which we have been at work on for 
several years until we have it now, in our 
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. 
EARLY LARGE OZXHEART.—An excel- 
lent variety, which is later than the Large 
York, and well adapted for sowing in fall 
or early spring. 
EARLY WINNINGSTADT. is’ (2 
very solid heading variety; pointed, of good 
size and of the same season as the Oxheart. 
Very good. -

Choufleur (Fr.), Blumenkohl (Ger.), Coliflor (Sp.), Cavalo Fiore (Ital.) 
CULTURBE.—This is one of the finest vegetdbles grown, and succeeds well in the 
South, especially in the vicinity of New Orleans. Large quantities are raised on the sea 
coast. The two Italian varieties are of excellent quality, growing to a large size, and 
are considered hardier than the German and French kinds. The -ground for planting 
Cauliflower should be very rich. They thrive best in rich, sandy soil, and require plenty 
of moisture during the formation of the head. The Italian varieties should be sown from 
April to July, the latter month and June is the best time to sow the Early Giant. During 
August, September and October, the Le Normands, Half Early. Paris and Erfurt can 
be sown. The Half Early Paris is very popular, but the other varieties are just as good. 
For Spring crop the Italian kinds do not answer, but the early French and German 
varieties can be sown at the end of December and during January, in a bed protected 
from frost, and may be transplanted into the open ground during February and as late 
as March. If we have a favorable season, and not too dry, they will be very fine, but 
if the heat sets in soon, the flowers will not attain the same size as those obtained from 
seeds sown in the Fall, and which head during December and JanOary: One ounce to 
3,000 plants; 5 ounces will plant an acre. 
LE NOBRMANDS.—Is a French variety, 
and largely cultivated. It stands more dry 
weather than the other varieties, and has 
large and pure white heads. 
EARLY DWARF ERFURT.—This vari- 
ety is of more dwarfish growth than Late 
Italian Giant. Heads white and of good 
size. Heads with certainty. 
EARLY SNOWBALL.—A fine variety, 
great favorite and standard throughout the 
country; very early, close growing, of com- 
pact habit. It is without doubt one of the 
most satisfactory early varieties. The 
heads are large. For early or late planting, 
for the family or the market garden this 
variety can be depended upon for excellent 
results.
