Steckler's New Leader This 



is a cabbage of recent introductioi\; 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 planted 

 it. There are many reasons why this cabbage 

 supersedes 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 rotor burst — and continues growing long 

 after all other sorts are matured. 



Fotler's Short Stem Brunswick. A 

 rapid grower; large, solid heads and few out- 

 side leaves; planted early it is ready for use 

 in July; planted late it^s a choice winter 

 sort.

 earliest of the winter Cabbages; of fine flavor; 

 very tender.

CULTURE. — This is one of the finest vegetables grown, and succeeds well in the South 

 especially in the vicinity of New Orleans. Large quantities are raised on the sea coast in the 

 neighborhood of Barataria Bay. The two Italian varieties are of excellent quality, growing 



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