SECOND EARLY OR SUMMER CABBAGES 



/Henderson's Early Summer LldU'ckbtll; 



plants stiong growing, with large, spreading outer leaves. 



Heads large flat or slightly conical, and keep longer without 



bursting than most of the early sorts. Valuable for both fam- 



and market. This may be called an improvement on the 



Newark Flat Dutch, which it has superseded.

Early Dwarf Flat Dutch 



Continued experience confirms our belief that this is 

 the best second early sort. The plants are shorts 

 stemmed 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 Sum- 

 mer. Every plant will form a hard head fit for market, and 

 will mature much earlier than the Flat Dutch or other sorts 

 usually grown for market and shipping. Our stock should 

 not be confounded with the inferior later stocks frequently 

 offered under this name.' Pkt. 5c; Oz. 26c; 2 Oz. 40c; 

 compact, with short, thick leaves. Heads regular,/ "^ *""• ^*'*' *^"- ^^•'^'^ 



FoTTLER'8 Early Drumhead Cabbage. 



Early Winnigstadt 



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 



conical, very hard, and keep well both summer and wintetJ a|j Coacnnc This is the sort generally grown on Long

SUCCESSION 



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

 from excessive wet,drought,insects or disease, than any othe? ^ 

 second early sort, and will give a fair crop of heads when 

 others fail. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz.35c; ^Lb.OOc; Lb.$2.00 



FFI nPPK'PAIlT Somewhat like Winnigstadt,but larg- 



1 lL.i/L<IVIVIVrl.U 1 ej., much more pointed, and heading 

 up with fewer outside leaves. Highly esteemed for making 

 kraut. Good either for first or second crop, and succeeds 

 particularly well on rich, prairie soils. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c;

 A sure heading, long keeping variety, 

 very similar to All Seasons. Our seed 



is from carefully grown, selected stock, and is the best that 

 can be procured. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 66c; %; Lb. $1.00;

 a dense bloom which protects them in a measure from the 

 worms. Heads flat, very solid, and of good quality.

/fottler's Early Drumhead, 



Or BRUNSWICK SHORT 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. Plants have very short stems and large leaves, 

 which start from the stem horizontally, but turn upward 

 about the head. 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; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz.40c;

Island for the New York market. Heads 

 very large, round, often nearly spherical, but usually 

 somewhat flattened; very solid and of the best quality, keep- 

 ing as well as the winter sorts. Plants very vigorous and 

 sure heading; leaves large, smooth, with dense bloom. Re- 

 markable for its ability to stand the hot sun and dry weath- 

 er. Our trial has shown that heads which were fit for mar- 

 ket 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.

yMammotli Rock Red 



The Warren, or Improved Stone Mason Cabbage. 



, largest and sur- 

 est heading red cabbage ever 

 introduced, and much better 

 than the stock offered as Red Drumhead. No one 

 should plant the latter as long as our Pt^ain of Mam- 

 moth Rock Red can be obtained. The plant is large, 

 with numerous spreading leaves. The head is large, 

 round, very solid and of deep red color. Ninety-eight 

 per cent, of the plants will form extra fine heads.

YVAiaiaEN, or 

 Improved Stone Mason 



We think this is one of the very best for fall and winter 

 use. being the best in quality of any of the smooth leaved 

 kinds. The stock we offer is much superior to that usually 

 sold under this name. Plant medium sized, with only a 

 moderate number of leaves; head medium sized to large, 

 round or slightly flattened, very solid, crisp, tender, with- 

 out being coarse or strong flavored. It will certainly give 

 the greatest satisfaction, both to the amateur and market 

 gardener, and ought to be planted largely by both.
