very solid, hard-heading, heavy variety; an excel- 

 lent keeper. Packet, 10c. Ounce, 30c. J4 pound, 

 $1.00. Pound, $3.50. 



VOLGA. — A main crop sort, very desirable where 

 large, uniformly round heads with short stem 

 and plants of compact growth are wanted. This sort 

 matures very early for a variety furnishing such 

 large heads of excellent shape. The outer leaves 

 are thick, long, oval and rather smooth. The vari- 

 ety is hardy, usually very solid and a good keeper.

 and of fine quality, keeping as well as the winter 

 sorts. Plant very vigorous, but sure heading. Re- 

 markable for its ability to stand the hot sun and 

 dry weather. Packet, 10c. Ounce, 25c. *4 pound, 

 85c. Pound, $3.00. 



AUTUMN KING, or WORLD BEATER.— One 

 of the finest strains of Late Cabbage ever offered. 

 It produces regular, even heads of enormous size, 

 and can be relied upon to produce a greater weight 

 of crop from the same space of ground than most of 

 the late sorts, from the fact of its producing so few 

 outer leaves. Packet, 10c. Ounce, 25c. %. pound, 

 85c. Pound. $3.00. 



SAVOY CABBAGE 



The Savoy or Curly Cabbages are of much finer 

 flavor and quality than the best of other kinds, and 

 should be more generally cultivated. They are par- 



ticularly adapted for private use, where quality 

 rather than quantity is considered. Grown in the 

 fall and allowed to be touched by frost, it is a most 

 delicious vegetable. 



IMPROVED AMERICAN SAVOY.— Far supe- 

 rior to the ordinary Drumhead Savoy offered under 

 different names. Heads large and very finely curled ; 

 short stalk, compact grower ; sure header ; keeps 

 well. The best of all Savoys for home use or mar- 

 ket. Packet, 10c. Ounce,' 30c. V A pound, $1.00. 

 Pound, $3.50. 



SUREHEAD.— The heads are of Flat Dutch type, 

 uniform in shape and size, solid and heavy. Packet, 

 10c. Ounce, 25c. Y 4 pound, 85c. Pound," $3.00. 



MAMMOTH ROCK RED CABBAGE 



(Extra Selected). — Although many so-called new 

 varieties have been introduced, there is none, we 

 believe, superior to our strain of Large Red Drum- 

 head. Wherever tried it has given universal satis- 

 faction. Heads are large, round, very solid and of 

 a deep red color. Ninety-five per cent will form ex- 

 tra fine heads. Excellent for pickling. Packet, 10c. 

 Ounce, 45c. Y A pound, $1.35. Pound, $5.00. 



Savoy Cabbage 



Danish Ball-Head, or Hollander. 



PREMIUM LATE FLAT DUTCH 



This variety is largely grown for late or main 

 crop, being the favorite market variety. Heads 

 very large solid and broad, with flat tops ; of fine 

 flavor and quality; very short stems. Packet, 10c. 

 Ounce. 25c. Y\ pound, 85c. Pound, $3.00. 



CHINESE IMPROVED, or PE-TSAI 



The improved strain we offer resembles when well 

 grown Cos Lettuce rather than Cabbage. It is often 

 called Celery Cabbage on the market. 



The leaves of the plant when young are crimped 

 at the edges, of light green color and appear like 

 smooth-leaved mustard, but with much broader and 

 heavier midribs. The plant as it matures becomes 

 more upright and forms heads much like Cos Let- 

 uce. The inner leaves blanch an attractive light 

 yellow or creamy white with very white midribs. 

 It is of distinctive flavor, very mild and pleasant. 

 It is served as a salad like lettuce or cooked like 

 asparagus. 



Sow in this latitude after July 1st at the same 

 time as turnips. The early plantings of Pe-Tsai 

 run quickly to seed in hot weather. Sow in drills 

 14 to 20 inches apart and thin seedlings two or 

 three times ; or, if grown for the market, start in 

 boxes and transplant like late cabbage. Packet. 

 10c. Ounce, 30c. % pound, $1.00.
