SUCCESSION (x 1/6) 



No. 139— Mammoth Rock Red 



Days to Maturity, 120. Grown on Long Island prior to its introduction by 

 Ferry in 1889. A red cabbage with a very solid head of good quality and 

 size. It is a variety very often used for pickling purposes and may be recom- 



mended as sure-heading, 

 paid. 



Pkt. 10c, oz. 35c, yi lb. $1.00, 1 lb. $3.65, post- 



No. 140 — Red Danish Stonehead 



Days to Maturity, 120. A Danish cabbage very similar to Danish Ballhead 

 except for its red color. The Red Dutch as listed by Landreth in 1826 is not 

 thought to have been the same cabbage. Johnson & Stokes have the credit 

 for having been the first to introduce Red Danish Stonehead in this country. 

 This was about 1900. This cabbage is almost identical in every respect with 

 Danish Ballhead except in its color. The head is very solid and the rich 

 red color extends farther into the center of the head. True seed of this variety 

 is difficult to obtain and in price outclasses all others. However, the quality 

 of the cabbage far more than evens up the difference in price. Pkt. 20c, oz. 

 65c, M lb. $1.75, 1 lb. $5.50, postpaid. 



No. 120 — Succession 



Days to Maturity, 110. Introduced by Henderson in 

 1888. A variety remarkable for its resistance to hot 

 sun and dry weather. The fact that it remains two or 

 three weeks without breaking also recommends it as an 

 important variety. It may be sown either as a late cab- 

 bage or for fall use. The heads are round but slightly 

 flattened. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, M lb. 85c, 1 lb. $3.25, 

 postpaid. 



No. 130— Late Flat Dutch 



Days to Maturity, 120. A Dutch cabbage frequently 

 listed as Premium Flat Dutch. It has a large-sized, hard 

 head, slightly rounded. For many years very popular 

 with market gardeners on account of its high yielding 

 qualities. Pkt. 10c, oz. 35c, M lb. $1.00, 1 lb. $3.65, 

 postpaid. 



RED DANISH STONEHEAD (x 1/3) 



No. 127— Danish Ballhead 

 Hollander 



or 



AMERICAN SAVOY (x 1/6) 



Days to Maturity, 120. A variety of Danish origin listed 

 by Johnson & Stokes in 1889 as Danish Ballhead. The 

 fact that in 1897 a cabbage known as Hollander or German 

 Export was offered by Johnson & Stokes seems to prove 

 that this was a variety widely known and cultivated over 

 Northern Europe. At the present time the names Danish 

 Ballhead and Hollander are synonymous. This variety is 

 now considered the standard cabbage for storage purposes 

 and thousands of acres are grown in our northern states. 

 The head is nearly round, solid, and of good quality. Its 

 adaptability to soil conditions has no doubt added to its 

 popularity. There are three different strains of 

 Danish Ballhead, Long Stem, Medium Stem and 

 Short Stem, the latter often being known as Danish 

 Roundhead. In order to simplify matters with our 

 trade, we have held to the original name of Danish 

 Ballhead and used cabbage of the medium stem 

 type. Pkt. 15c, oz. 45c, ^lb. $1.35, 1 lb. $4.75. 



No. 135 — American Savoy 



Days to Maturity, 110. An extremely old 

 type, probably originating in England. Savoy 

 cabbage was offered by Robert Sinclair, Jr., & 

 Co., Baltimore, in 1839, along with twenty- 

 three other varieties. The stock we offer will 

 prove to be true, the wrinkled savoyed leaves 

 being uniform and of a deep green color. Market 

 gardeners will find our stock dependable. Pkt. 

 15c, oz. 45c, y x lb. $1.35, 1 lb. $4.75, postpaid.
