Early Jersey Wakefield 



EARI.Y VARIETIES. 



Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., 4- lb. 50 ct=., 

 lb. $1.50, except where noted. 



Early Jersey Wake- 

 field. (See cut.) The 

 leading early variety and 

 the best for private or mar- 

 ket gardener's use. We have 

 sold this sort for the past 

 twenty-five years. The 

 strain is always of the same 

 good quality, never vary- 

 ing in purity and earliness. 

 There is no cabbage so 

 widely known as the Early 

 Jersey Wakefield. Pkt. 10 

 cts.,oz. 30 cts., J lb. 75 cts., 

 lb. S2 50. 



Early Winnigstadt. 



Good for either early or late 

 use; in some sections the 

 best early sort. 



One oz. will pi octuce 1500 plants ; quantity to transplant 1 acre \ lb. 



For very early use sow in January or February in hot-beds ; prick out 

 w hen the plants are strong enough into other hot -beds ; or sow in cold- 

 frames in March ; transplant when danger from killing frosts is passed tc^ 

 the open ground, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the row. For a 

 succession sow in the open ground the last of March or early in April. 

 The autumn and w inter varieties sow in April or early in May, in shallow 

 drills, 3 or 4 inches apart ; transplant early in July, in rows 2j feet 

 rcpait, and 2 feet in the row. Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh, rich soil, 

 well manured, and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are subject to 

 attacks of the cabbage-fly. which destroys ihem as fast as they appear 

 above gi-ound. To preserve the plants sprinkle them with wood-ashes, 

 air-slacked lime, plaster, slug-shot or tobacco-dust early in the morning 

 while the plants are wet with dew. 



Larg-e Jersey Wakefield (Charleston). (See cut.) Selected 



stock. Large solid heads, of good quality, a few days later than Early 

 Jersey Wakefield ; specially recommended for institutions and market 



gardeners, producing fully twice as 

 much per acre than the early variety. 

 The strain we offer is of exceptional 

 purity and cannot fail to give satisfac- 

 tion, as it combines all the good 

 qualities of an early long- 

 keeping sort, which is 

 especially desirable for ship- 

 ping. This sort is grown 

 around Philadelphia in large 

 quantities for shipping long 

 distances, and is practically 

 the best large early sort on 

 the market. Pkt.' 10 cts., 

 oz. 30 cts., \ lb, $1.00, lb. 

 $2.50. 



Early French Ox- 

 heart. Heads vei-y early, 

 tender, and of fine flavor. 



Etanipes. Very early, 

 producing medium-sized 

 heads, sharply pointed. 



Exi>reSS. The earliest of 

 all Cabbages, small, with 

 solid, compact heads. 



Large York. A superior 

 early-heading robust sort. 

 Large Jersey Wakefield (Charleston). 



SECOND EAREY VARIETIES. 



Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., \ lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.00, except where noted. 

 Dreer's Early Drumhead. (See cut.) A favorite with 



the market gardeners ; a second early, large, round solid-heading 

 variety. This sort we consider the best, for following the large 

 Charleston Wakefield, as it matures about ten davs later, and i^ 

 of the finest quality. Pkt. 5 cts., oz., 30 cts., \ lb. $1.00, lb. §2 -50 



All Head, Early. The largest heading of the second ear'\ 

 sorts, of excellent quality. The deep flat heads are remarkabU 

 solid, and very uniform in size, of a very compact growth, ha\ 

 ing few outer leaves ; can be planted as close as the Wakefiel 1 



sorts. 



Improved Flat Brunswick. The best for market 



gardeners ; either as a second early or late sort ; short stems, large 

 solil heads. 



Improved Early Summer. A second early with large 

 solid llaitish heads, coming in a few days later than the Wake 

 field; a sure header.

 evenly, and comes in a few days after Early Wakefield.

 Cabbage, yielding heads of the largest size Very desirable, 

 either for early spring, summer or fall use.
