CABBAGE— Second Early or Summer Sorts 



21 



Henderson's 



An early, large-heading 

 cabbage; plants strong 

 Farll/ ^limmPP growing with large, 

 L.UI ly t^uilliiix^i spreading outer leaves. 

 Head flat or slightly conical and keeps longer with- 

 out bursting than most of the early sorts. Valu- 

 able for both family and market. This may be 

 called an improvement on the Newark Flat Dutch 

 which it has superseded. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c;

I lai UUB^il sort. The plant is short 



stemmed, upright and having comparatively few 



and short leaves,the rows can be set close together. 



Head large, solid, crisp and tender, maturing with 



Early Summer. Every plant will f <irm a hard head 



fit for market and will mature much earlier than 



the Late Flat Dutch or other sorts usually grown 



for market and shipping. Our carefully selected 



strain should not be confounded with the inferior, 



later stocks frequently offered as Early Flat Dutch,

All Head Early Cabbage. 



7\ 11 Sp^ VLOn SI ^°® ^^ *^^® earliest of the second early sorts. 

 r\tt tJ\^Utj\Jt lo Head very large, round, often nearly spheri- 

 cal but usually somewhat flattened; very solid and of the best 

 quality, keeping as well as the winter sorts. Plant very vigorous 

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

 markable 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 gen- 

 eral cultivation, for if planted for fall crop 

 and stored, it remains in fine condition until 

 late in spring. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c; 3 Oz. 35c;

very 



hardy 

 and sure to head. Owing to its 

 compact and upright habit of 

 growth and peculiar texture of 

 short, thick leaf, the variety 

 seems to suffer less from the 

 cabbage worm than most other 

 sorts. Head regular, conical, 

 very hard, and 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 disease than any other second 

 early sort. This is one of the 

 oldest varieties in cultivation 

 and one whose reputation has 

 suffered through the sale of de- 

 generated 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 Winnigstadt in the country

A sure heading, long 

 keeping variety, ver y 

 similar to All Seasons and producing well 

 shaped heads, having few and small outer 

 leaves. Our seed is from carefully grown, 

 selected stock and is the best that can be 

 procured. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c; 3 Oz. 35c;

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, especially for the home 

 garden. It keeps well both under the svm and during the win- 

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

 in cultivation. Head large, fiat, compact, solid and of fine 

 quality. We have taken pains to have our stock free from the 

 longer stemmed, coarse plants of ten 

 seen in inferior stocks of this variety.
