Cabbage — -Copenhagen Market 



This is undoubtedly the most valuable cabbage of recent introductions. The heads are exceptionally 

 large for so early a variety, very solid and of excellent quality. Matures but a few days later than Early 

 Jersey Wakefield and is equally valuable either for the home or market garden. Our strain produces the large 

 round heads that are characteristic of this variety. {See illustration on cover and further description^

Cabbage — Wisconsin No. 8 



A "yellows" resistant strain of cabbage developed out of our stock of Hollander under the direction of 

 Dr. L. R. Jones of the University of Wisconsin. At Racine, Wisconsin, where for several years many of the 

 commercial crops of cabbage were badly infected or entirely destroyed by the disease called the yellows this 

 strain has proven to be practically -immune from attack. 



The disease resistant properties of this variety, however, apply only to that known as the "yellows" and no 

 claim is made that it is less susceptible to other forms of disease such as Black Rot, Black Leg or Club Root 

 than other sorts. 



Although showing considerable va- 

 riation in type the plants resemble 

 Hollander but are larger and more 

 leafy and spreading. The heads are 

 round or somewhat flattened and retain 

 to a remarkable degree the solidity and 

 excellent keeping qualities of the Hol- 

 lander. 



For localities where cabbage plants 

 are affected by the yellows we earnestly 

 recommend a planting of this new strain.

Celery — Columbia 



No better celery has ever been pro- 

 duced than our strain of Columbia. It 

 is early maturing. The plants are 

 stocky and heav}^ and when well growm 

 the heart blanches to a very attractive 

 light golden yellow. Columbia has no 

 superior in beauty of golden shading, 

 solidity and size of stalk. In rich nutty 

 flavor we have found it unsurpassed. 

 The variety is not only very desirable 

 for the private garden but is well suited 

 for the home market. Try it and be 

 convinced. {Hcc cut on this page and

Sweet Peas — Early Flowering Spencers 



This desirable new class of sweet peas is steadily gaining in popularity and w^e believe that within a few years 

 all of the shades and colors found in the older types will be represented in it. The flowers have all the excellent 

 qualities of the later flowering Spencers but will bloom a full month or more earlier and furnish an abundance 

 of flowers during a very long season. They are equally valuable for growing under glass or for planting outdoors. 



Early Liberty and Early Songster are new varieties of special merit which w^e are offering this year for the 

 first time. {See colored plate opposite and further description, page pj)
