SECOND EARLY, or SUIVLMCER CABBAGES 



Henderson's Early Summer Early Winnigstadt 



A very early, large-headiu^ cabbage; plants strong growing, 

 with large, spreading oviter leaves. Heads large, flat or 

 slightly conical and keep longer without bursting than most 

 of the early sorts. Valuable for both family and market. 

 This may be called an improvement on the Newark Flat 

 Dutch, which it has superseded. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz.40c;

All Head Early Cabbage, 



All Head Early 



The strain of All Head 

 Early which we offer is of 

 especial value because of 



the uniformity and close adherence to 



the type in habit of growth and the 



shape and quality of the head. The 



plants are more compact, the leaf 



smoother and thicker and the heads 



rounder than tli^^arly Summer. We 



consider the sor^Bl of the best second 



early kinds on oiiWist and recommend it 



for both market gardeners' and home 



use. Pkt.5c;Oz.25c;2 0z.40c; %Lb.75cs

Continued experience confirms our be- 

 lief that this is a most valuable second 

 early sort. The plantsareshortstemmed 

 and' upright, with comparatively few 

 and short leaves, so that they can be 

 planted closely. Heads large, solid, made up of 

 thick, crisp, tender and fine flavored leaves and 

 maturing about as early as Early Summer. 

 Every plant will form a hard head fit for mar- 

 ket and will mature much earlier than the Flat 

 or other sorts usually grown for mai'ket and shi 

 Our stock should not be confounded with the in 

 later stocks frequently offered under this name. 



One of the best for gen- 

 eral use, being very 

 hardy and sure to head, 

 forming a hard head when most sorts fail. Those who have 

 failed with other kinds can hope to succeed with this. It 

 seems to suffer less from the cabbage worm than any other 

 sort. Plant very compact, with short, thick leaves. Heads 

 legular, conical, very hard, and keep well both summer and 

 winter. It is the hardiest, not only as regards frost, but will 

 suffer less from excessive wet, drought, insects or disease, 

 than any other second early sort. This is one of the oldest sorts in 

 cultivation and one whose reputation has suffered through the sale 

 of degenerated and inferior stock. We have devoted a great deal of 

 time and labor to the development of the strain we offer and send 

 it out confident that it is one of the best and purest 

 stocks of cabbage seed in the country. Pkt.oc; Oz.20c;

 with fewer outside leaves and it succeeds particularly

One of the earli- 

 est of the second 

 early sorts and 

 is the sort generally grown on Long Island for the 

 New York market. Heads very large, round, often near- 

 ly spherical but usually somewhat flattened; very solid 

 and of the best quality, keeping as well as the winter 

 sorts. Plants very vigorous and sure heading; leaves 

 large, smooth, with dense bloom. Remarkable for its 

 ability to stand the hot sun and dry weather. Our 

 trial has shown that heads which were fit for market 

 by July 10th were still salable September 10th, the 

 only change being increased size and density. One of 

 the very best sorts for general cultivation, for if planted 

 ^~-^, for fall crop and stored, it re-

f ottler's Early Drumhead, 



OR BRUNSWICK SHORl STEM 



In many sections, particularly in the east, this is the 

 most popular cabbage grown, and it certainly is one of the very 

 best .second early sorts in cultivation, particularly for the home 

 garden. It keeps well both uniler the sun and during the win- 

 ter and we thitdv has proved one of the best all seasons cabbage 

 in cultivation. Plants have very short stems and large leaves 

 which start from the stem horizontally, but turn upward about the 

 heail. Head large, very flat, compact and solid and of fine quality. 

 We have taken pains to have our stock free from the longer stemmed, 

 coarse plants often seen in inferior stocks of this variety. Pkt. 6c:
