Steckler's New Leader or No. i. This 

 is a cabbage of recent introduction; was in- 

 troduced last year for the first time. We 

 have tested it for the past three years in 

 connection with different varieties of cabbage; 

 it has also been tested by our market garden- 

 ers here who praise it and recommend it very 

 highly. It resembles somewhat that of the 

 Brunswick, but not quite so flat and broad, 

 but about the same season. It is a regular 

 header and uniform. 



Steckler's New Money Making. Has 

 never been known to fail since its introduc- 

 tion by us in 1902 and cannot be equalled as 



Green Globe Savoy. 



a positive cropper by any variety known on 

 the market to date. The extreme and varying 

 conditions of the past season only heightened 

 the popularity of this Cabbage as a money- 

 maker; this is evidenced by the many testi- 

 monials received from those who have plant- 

 ed it. 



There are many reasons why this cabbage 

 supercedes all other varieties; viz, it is a sure 

 header, every plant makes a head in size and 

 solidity surpassed by none; it keeps longer 

 than any other variety, grows bigger and 

 better the longer it remains in the field — does 

 not rot or burst — and continues growing long 

 after all other sorts are matured. It will 

 stand after it matures for weeks without 

 bursting. Due to the sturdy nature of this 

 cabbage it resists droughts and insects and 

 never fails to make a crop ! Reports of this 

 character establish the fact that this Cab- 

 bage is phenomenal in all respects and that 

 money can be made by raising this variety. 

 The true original stock-seed of this Cabbage 

 was procured by us, and seed offered by 

 others is not the original "Money Making 

 Cabbage."

Strawberry Plants, Michel's Early and Ocean City are the Best.
