 inferior to Cauliflower, though hardier 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Dwarf Improved. A dwarf, compact-growing sort 

 producing sprouts of fine quality 



Dalkeith. A greatly improved variety of compact growth, bearing very large 

 sprouts

 seen in New York in the late fall are grown from this stock. The plant is 

 dwarf and compact, and it is absolutely sure to form good sprouts 



CARDOON. Large Spanish. Large, fleshy-leaved plants, chiefly used as a win 

 ter vegetable. The blanched stalks and broad ribs of the inner leaves when 

 properly cooked are tender and of an agreeable flavor 



CABBAGE. 



EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES, (foe cabbage plants, see page 68.) 



Early Jersey Wakefield, Henderson's. (See specialties page 7.) 



Charleston or Large Wakefield, Henderson's. {See specialties page 7.)..., 



Early Market (very short crop). The best early round-headed cabbage. In 

 uniformity to type and evenness in maturing it is a marvel, enabling the 

 -field to be cleared at one cutting. The plants are of compact stocky growth 

 Short-stemmed with large solid ball-shaped heads averaging 8 to 10 pounds 

 in weight and small outer leaves enabling it to be planted close (21 inches 

 apart). Quality of the finest — smooth with fine veins and small core. It 

 comes in but 3 or 4 days later than Henderson's Early Wakefield 



Early Spring, Henderson's. {See specialties page 7.) 



Early York. Very early, producing small, oval-shaped heads 



Early Winnigstadt. An old, popular, medium early variety, with large, py- 

 ramidal heads of excellent quality; good to succeed the extra earlies. . . , 

 1^ St. John's Day Early Drumhead. Early, very dwarf; medium-sized, hard heads 

 SECOND EARLY or SUMMER VARIETIES. 



Early Summer, Henderson's. {See specialties page 9.) 



Fottler's Improved Brunswick. Heads large, flat and solid; a sure header, 

 long-standing; short stem 



Succession, Henderson's. (See specialties page 8.) 



LATE or WINTER VARIETIES. 



Autumn King, Henderson's. (See specialties page 9.) 



Late Flat Dutch, Henderson's Selected. (See specialties page 9.) 



Premium Flat Dutch. A standard and excellent variety; developing earlier 

 than most late sorts and not so good a winter keeper, but for fall use it is 

 tender and of superior flavor 



Holland or Danish Ball Head. (See specialties page 9.) , 



Warren's Stonemason. One of the best varieties for winter keeping. Medium 

 size almost round; heads very firm. Remarkably sure header 



RED VARIETIES. This class is esteemed for pickling, making slaw, etc. 

 Red Dutch. A popular hard-headed sort for pickling, etc. The best keeper 



not extra large, but of excellent quality 



Danish Round Red. This is best described as a red type of the Holland or 



Danish Ball Head. Compact plant, very solid head, extremely dark and 



attractive in color; very hardy 



Mammoth Rock Red. A large-growing select strain, producing very solid 



heads weighing 10 to 12 lbs. each; color, intense dark red 



SAVOY VARIETIES. The quality and flavor of those crumpled-leaf Cabbages 



is very superior; grown in fall and allowed to be touched by frost they are 



sweet, delicate and most delicious. 

 American Drumhead Savoy. The largest heading Savoy; a general favorite 



for both private use and marketing 



Netted Savoy. The finest of the Savoys; heads large, solid and compact 



flavor of surpassing excellence
