CABBAGE. 

 BURPEE'S ORIGINAL SUREHEAD. 



The Surest Heading and Best 

 Main Crop Cabbage. 



"Burpee's Surehead Cabbage produces large, round, flattened 

 heads, of the Flat Dutch type, and is remarkable for its certainty to 

 head. It is all head, and always sure to head, even where other 

 varieties fail. The heads are remarkably uniform, very hard, firm 

 and fine in texture, and ordinarily weigh from 10 to 15 pounds each. 

 It is very sweet flavored, has scarcely any loose leaves, keeps well, 

 is good for shipping, and is just the variety and quality to suit mar- 

 ket gardeners, farmers and all lovers of good Cabbage."

 Early Summer, but is double the size and is so finely bred that in a 

 field of ten acres every head was a magnificent, perfect specimen, fit 

 for exhibition purposes. The Succession brings paying prices wher- 

 ever grown, and may well be regarded as a boon to the gardening 

 community. The seed we offer is direct from the owners and intro- 

 ducers, and should not be confounded with other stocks which no 

 deubt will be offered this season. Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 30 cts. ; % lb.,
