CABBAGE — Late or Atitumn and Winter Sorts 



Mammoth Rock Red 



This is the best, 

 largest and surest 

 heading red cabbage yet introduced and mvich better than 

 the stock offered as Red Drumhead. No one should plant 

 the latter as long as our strain of Mammoth Rock Red can 

 be obtained. The plant is large, with numerous spreading 

 leaves. The head is large, round, very sohd and of deep 

 red color. Nearly every plant will form an extra fine head.

An early and very desir- 

 able strain of Flat Dutch, 

 in which the plant is very compact, few leaved and short 

 stemmed. The head is large, nearly i-ound and very solid.

one of the most 

 and winter use, 



Acme Flat Dutch 



We think this is 

 desirable for fall 



The Warren, or 



Improved Stone Mason S'alf "of l^??mS 



leaved kinds. The stock we offer is much superior to that 

 usually sold under this name. Plant medium sized, with 

 only a moderate number of leaves; head medium sized to 

 large, round or slightly flattened, very solid, crisp and 

 tender, without being coarse or strong flavored. It will 

 certainly give the greatest satisfaction both to the ama- 

 teur and market gardener and ought to be planted 

 largely by both. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c;

Hrkii Cf^m a r\ The largest and best of the late mar- 

 I lUUdC:illcl.ll ij-et sorts. A strain of Late Flat Dutch 



cabbage in which the plant 

 is very vigorous and hardy. 

 The leaves are very large and broad; the stem of moder- 

 ate height; the head very large and solid. A hardy and 

 very sure heading sort. Always forms a large, handsome 

 head which keeps better than those of most kinds. Par- 

 ticularly desirable for those who wish to raise large quan- 



DM PerrV & Co'^ ^^ recommend this sort for

large, solid head. A 

 sure heading sort 

 which in good, rich soil, will grow to an enormous size and 

 on poorer soils will give good sized heads which ai-e very 

 compact, solid and of excellent flavor. Pkt, 5c; Oz. 20c-

The largest cabbage known, weighing, in 

 some instances, over fifty pounds. Under

heads would average thirty pounds each. The plant is 

 very large and late in maturing and the seed should be 

 planted earlier than that of most sorts. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c;

Danish Ball Head i'Jept"iTis°LroA^S 



best for growing for distant markets or for late spring 

 use. The plant is vigorous, rather compact growing, with 

 a longer stem than most American sorts and exceedingly 

 hardy, not only in resisting cold but also dry weather; 

 it matures its head a little later than the Flat Dutch. The 

 leaves are large, very thick, bluish-green covered with 

 whitish bloom. The head is round, of less diameter than 

 that of the Flat Dutch, but very solid. The leaves of the 

 head are very thick, white and tender and not only overlap 

 or pass by each other more than those of most sorts, but 

 are so tightly drawn as to form an exceedingly solid head 

 which stands shipment better and arrives at its destina- 

 tion in more attractive shape than 

 those of any other late sort. In 

 quality it is one of the best, being 

 very white, crisp and tender. We 

 have given a great deal of attention 

 to this variety and offer seed of our 

 own growing which we believe will 

 produce a crop of more imiformly 

 typical heads than can be grown 

 from other stocks.

Savoy Cabbages 



The English prize the Savoy cabbages because of their sweet and delicate 

 flavor, and as they become better known in this country they are growing 

 rapidly into favor with discriminating buyers. 

 EARLY DWARF ULM SAVOY. One of the earliest and sweetest of the Savoys. Head round, solid; leaves small, thick, 



fleshy, of fine deep green color and of most excellent quality. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; % Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.75 

 IMPROVED AMERICAN SAVOY. The best of all the Savoys either for home use or the market and the surest to head. 

 The head is larger, more solid and in every way better than the sorts called Perfection, Green Globe, or Drumhead 

 Savoy. The plant is vigorous, and even moi'e densely and uniformly curled than the Early Dwarf Ulm Savoy; the head 

 being globular, larger and more solid. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 36c; % Lb. 60c; Lb. $1. 76
