AMERICAN-GROWN CABBAGE SEED _—It is a well-known fact among gardeners that American-grown Cabbage seed 
will make plants that head up better than those raised from foreign seed. 
This particularly applies to seed produced on Long Island, from which section our Cabbage seed comes. The past season was 
again a hard one on cabbage, and new seed is only about one-half crop; as a consequence, much imported and old seed will be 
THE CHARLESTON, OR LARGE WAKEFIELD CABBAGE, 
Large York. A superior early- 
heading, robust sort. Oz.,15 cts.; 
Y{ Ib., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 
improved Early Summer. 
(See cut.) A good second early 
Cabbage, which matures about ten 
days after the Jersey Wakefield. 
It makes a large, solid, flattish 
head, with short outer leaves, 
which admit of close planting in 
the field. It is of good quality, 
being very tender and ‘ree from 
coarseness. Oz., 20 cts.; \% Ib., 
75 cts.; lb., $2.00. 
Succession. <A good second 
early round-headed sort, heads 
very evenly, and comes in a few 
days after the Early Summer. It 
also grows larger than the latter 
variety. Oz., 25 cts.; Y lb., 75 
cts.; lb., $2.50. 
thrown on the market. We advise growers to be care- 
ful of their source of supply, and warn them against 
cheap seed. 
Early Varieties. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. The leading early 
variety and the best for private or market gardeners’ 
use. We have sold this sort for the past twenty-six years. 
Our strain is being constantly improved, both in purity 
and earliness. Oz., 30 cts.; &% lb., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00 
The Charleston, or Large Wakefield. 
(See cut.) Selected stock. Large solid heads, of 
good quality, a few days later than Early Jersey Wake- 
field; specially recommended for , institutions and 
market gardeners, producing fully twice as much per 
acre as the early variety. The strain we offer is of 
exceptional purity and cannot fail to give satisfaction, 
as it combines all the good qualities of an early long- 
keeping sort which is especially desirable for shipping. 
Oz. 30 cts.; 4% lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 
Early Winnigstadt. Good for either early or late 
use. Oz., 15 cts.; &% lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 
Early Spring. (See ci.) This variety fillsa long- 
felt need. It is fully as early as the Jersey Wakefield, 
but the heads are of the round, flat type of Early Sum- 
mer. It has very few small outer 
leaves, thus allowing its being 
planted as close asany variety 
known. Oz., 30 cts.; Y¥% Ib., 
85 cts.; lb.,°S3.00. 
Express. The earliest of all 
Cabbages; small, with solid 
heads. Oz., 15 cts.; & lb., 50 
cts.; lb., $1.50. ; 
Dreer’s Early Drum- 
head. A favorite with the 
market gardeners; a second 
early, large, round, solid-head- 
ing variety. This sort we 
consider the best for following 
the large Charleston Wakefeld, 
as it matures about ten days 
later, and is of the finest quality. 
Oz., 25 cts.; Y |b., 75 cts.; Ib., 
$2.50. 
EARLY SPRING CABBAGE.

Drumhead Cabbage, yielding heads of the largest size.

All Head, Early. . The largest heading of the 
second early sorts, of excellent quality. The deep flat

25 cts.; 4 lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50. 
Improved Flat Brunswick." ‘This is a good 
variety for market gardeners’ use," produces large 
heads, weighing 15 to 20 lbs. each.** The quality is 
good, and it can be grown either as a second early 
or late sort; short stems, large solid heads. Oz., 15
