COFENHACrEN MARKET CABBAGZ:.— 



An entirely new and distinct Cabbage, 

 and the characteristics marking- it are of 

 so desirable a nature as to make it the 

 most valuable Cabbage in its class, and it 

 is in the group of the Extra Early or First 

 Early varieties. It produces perfectly 

 ball-shaped heads, hard and solid — stiil as 

 finely grained in texture as any Cabbage, 

 and when fully matured will average a 

 weight of eight pounds. It possesses a 

 most remarkable earliness in this, that it 

 matures as early as the Charleston Wake- 

 field, yet it produces heads that are far 

 bigger and more substantial. 



EABIiY JERSEY WAKEFIEZiD. — The 



best first-early oblong-headed cabbage. 

 The heads are uniformly hard and solid. 

 They are pyramidal in form, generally 

 pointed at the end, with but few outside 

 leaves. The outer leaves are unusually 

 thick and heavy, and it is thereby enabled 

 to stand more cold weather without injury 

 when carried through the winter earlier in 

 the open ground in the South or in cold- 

 frames in the North. 



SEZ.ECTED EARZ.Y JERSEY WAKIS- 

 FIEZiS. — Has attained a big reputation 

 with truckers and market gardeners wher- 

 ever grown. It is an ideal market garden- 

 er's first early cabbage, and is suited alike 

 for the family garden and market. Not 

 only is the head large and solid for so 

 early a cabbage, but the outside foliage 

 permits of close planting, and its uniform- 

 ity and reliability for producing a crop 

 makes it a general favorite. 



I.ARGE FLAT BRUNSWICK. — This is a 

 late German variety, introduced here many 

 years ago by Richard Frotscher. It is an 

 excellent kind, and when well headed up 

 the shape of it is a true type of premium 

 Flat Dutch Cabbage. This is an old 

 standard variety of our own importation. 



AZiIi SEASON. — An excellent market 

 variety, the heads are large and solid, 

 globular in shape, the ribs pinkish and not 

 quite as thick as of the Superior Flat 

 Dutch. Will stand heat and drouth better 

 than any other variety. 



FAUIiTIiESS. — This strain of cabbage 

 is one which we have been at work on foi* 

 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 OXHEART.— An excel- 

 lent variety, which is later than the Large 

 York, and well adapted for sowing in Fall 

 or early Spring.

Steepler's French Market Winter. 



STECKLER'S FRENCH MARKET WIN- 

 TER. — This is a fine strain of an immense 

 American grown winter cabbage. It is one 

 of the most uniform heading varieties ever 

 brought to the market. The heads are 

 larger-' than the Crescent City Large Late 

 Flat Dutch, very solid, dark green in color, 

 and matures as early. Fine for shipping.
