 PERIOR I. A R G E 

 I^ATZ: FXiAT DUTCH. 



This is the most pop- 

 ular variety for win- 

 ter cabbage, and culti-' 

 vated by almost every 

 g-ardener who plants 

 for the New Orleans 

 market. Heads are 

 large and solid, often 

 weighing from 15 to 

 25 pounds. In regard 

 to the time of plant- 

 ing, see remarks un- 

 der the head of "Cab- 

 bage" in the direc- 

 tions for planting for 

 July. We have tried 

 seed of the Flat 

 Dutch from different 

 growers, but have 

 found none yet to 

 equal the stock which 

 is raised for us. 



RED DUTCH.— 



Best hard-headed, red 

 variety. Large heads, 

 globular, and very 

 deep red on top. 

 Outer leaves greenish. 

 Used for pickling. 



DANISH BAZ.I. HEAD (Hollander, or 



Amag-er). — Has been for over a century 

 the famous Cabbage of Denmark, and is 

 about the only variety grown by the 

 market gardeners of that country and the 

 adjacent islands of the Baltic for an early 

 Summer, Fall or Winter crop, which Is ex- 

 ported in large quantities; the heads are 

 round, very solid, of medium size, fine 

 grain and good keepers; for boiling slaw 

 or sauer kraut it is unsurpassed; the seed 

 which we offer is of our own importation, 

 direct from one of the most extensive 

 growers of Denmark. 



Frotscher's Superior Iiargfe Iiate Flat Dutch. 



ORIiEANS PRIDE. — Earliest variety 

 heading cabbage. It is a selected cross 

 between the Jersey Wakefield and the Early 

 Flat Dutch, afterwards improved by selec- 

 tion of stock until it produces uniformly 

 a fine head. This cabbage is the earliest 

 flat heading cabbage that is now known in 

 any market, maturing at about the same 

 season as the Charleston Wakefield. It 

 should be planted closely in rows, as there 

 is but little outside growth, and, when so 

 planted, will produce fine crops of solid 

 heads of very fine quality. Wherever it 

 has been used, we have had most excellent 

 reports from it. We recommend same 

 highly for market and family use. 



PRIDE OF THE SOUTH.— An excellent 



variety, resembling the German Brunswick 

 closely in appearance and color, but more 

 globular in shape, not quite as large and 

 equally as early. In growth it is very 

 uniform, heading regular and very firm 

 and is a good shipping variety. The seed 

 should be sown during the months of 

 October and November for Spring crop and 

 will come in at the same time with the 

 Brunswick and early Summer. 



STECKLER'S NEW LEADER.— This 



Cabbage has been tested by our market 

 gardeners here who praise it and recom- 

 mend it very highly. 



EARI.Y FIAT DUTCH. — An inter- 

 mediate kind between the early pointed and 

 late varieties. It is not, on an average, as 

 heavy as the Oxheart or Winningstadt, but 

 if raised for the market is more suitable on 

 account of being flat. Very good variety 

 for family use. 



Sure Head. 



SURE HEAD. — (Genuine Stock from the 

 originator.) Remarkable for its certainty 

 to head. Produces very large, flattened 

 heads, weighing from ten to fifteen pounds; 

 very uniform and firm.
