Cabbage Seed. 



I am pleased to offer my customers this season a choice line of cabbage 

 seed. This seed was not grown by me, but was grown on Long Island by one 

 of the most careful growers in America, who has made a life study and has 

 a life-long, 45 years, practical experience in this special line of cabbage seed 

 growing. I offer this seed to my customers with the positive assurance that

 ed, 5 cents a package; 20 cents an ounce; 60 cents 34 lb ; $2.00 per lb. 



Early Large Charleston Wakefield is an improved and larger form 



of Early Jersey Wakefield. It requires 

 rather more time to reach maturity, 

 but it yields fully twice the crop of 

 the original Wakefield cabbage. It is 

 about a week or ten days later than its 

 parent, and comes along in a close suc- 

 cession to the earliest cabbage crop.

 bly-overlooked by any gardener, wheth- 

 er it is intended for a private garden 

 .or to be sent ^to market. All the 

 market gardeners near the great East- 

 ern cities plant Charleston Wakefield

 is the result of rapid growth, it surpasses/ all others in this respect. The

 heads than usual wi,th. large cabbage can be obtained to the acre. It is real- 

 ly an ali-the-year-round Cabbage;— ^being equally good for winter. 5 cents a
