 large, bluish green, round, solid, broad and flat on the 

 top, and often tinted with red and brown. An excellent 

 fall and winter variety, and a good keeper. 



D. M. Ferry & Go's Premium Flat Dutch.— 

 This we consider superior to any late cabbage in culti- 

 vation. It possesses all the good qualities of the Late 

 Flat Dutch, and is a sure header. Our stock of this va- 

 riety is of our own raising from carefully selected 

 heads, and we think it superior to any other strain ot 

 this popular variety. 



Large Drumhead. — The Drumhead cabbage is a 

 large fall or winter variety, with a broad, flat or round 

 head, short stump, tender and good flavored, and an ex- 

 cellent keeper ; grown extensively for shipping pur- 

 poses. 



D. M. Ferry & Go's Premium Drumhead. — We 

 recommend this sort to market gardeners and growers, 

 for shipping purposes. In good, rich soil, and with a 

 favorable season, the heads will grow to enormous size; 

 ver\- compact and solid, and of e.xcellent flavor. 



Marblehead Mammoth Drumhead.— The largest 

 cabbage known, weighing in some instances over fifty 

 pounds. Under gopd cultivation, acres have been grown 

 where the heads would average thirty pounds each. 



Quintal Drumhead. — A French variety correspond- 

 ing to our Flat Dutch, and one of the best of the 

 foreign sorts. Heads quite flat on the top, with few 

 side leaves ; solid, firm, hard, and of good flavor. 



Green Glazed. — A standard late variety in the south, 

 as it is not affected by the heat. Heads large, but rather 

 loose and open. Very desirable, from the comparative 

 immunity it enjoys from the attacks of insects. 



^^^Our English friends think the Savoys alone are 

 fit for the table, and they are certainly of much better 

 flavor than the smooth sorts.
