 tarly WinnigStadt second early sorts, 

 very hardy and sure heading. Owing to its com- 

 pact and upright habit of growth and peculiar 

 texture of its short, thick, rich dark green leaves, 

 the variety seems to suffer less from the cabbage 

 worm than most other sorts. Head of medium 

 size, sharply pointed, very hard and of good 

 quality. Leaves covered i^ith bluish white bloom. 

 Keeps well both summer and winter. It is the 

 hardiest, not only as regards frost, but will suffer 

 less from excessive wet, drought, insects or dis- 

 ease than any other second early sort. Pkt. 5c; 

 Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; Vt Lb. 60c; Lb. $2.00

•1 1 rx f r"! 1 ■nk t 1 Continued experi- 



Larly Uwart rlatUutch ence confirms our 



belief that this is a most valuable second early sort. 



The plant is short stemmed, upright and having com- 

 paratively few and short leaves, the rows can be set 



close together. Head large, nearly round .or slightly 



flattened, very solid ami uniform in size and shape, 



maturing with Early Summer. Practically every plant 



will form a good, solid head which will mature much 



earlier than the Late Flat Dutch or other sorts usually 



grown for market and shipping. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 25c;
