Section of field of Johnson & Stokes' Market Gardeners' Cabbage, No. 2. Photographed during growth. The plants in this 

 field were set in three-foot rows, eighteen inches apart, giving y,6S0 to the acre or fully one thousand more heads to an acre 

 than can be obtained from any other large heading variety and proving it certainly the most compact of all large cabbages. 



Johnson & Stokes' Market Gardeners' Cabbage, No. 2. 



This very valuable new variety is decidedly the Earliest and most compact of all large cabbages. 

 It was offered by us for the first time in the spring of 1SS9, and has given unbounded satisfaction in all 

 sections. It is pronounced by many prominent gardeners who are now growing it almost exclusively, the 

 very best of all cabbages as a second early and summer market sort. 



The originator had for several years sold the seed to cabbage growers in Northern New Jersey at 

 ^2.00 per ounce until we purchased the variety and his entire crop of seed in 1888. In it we have a 

 cabbage so hardy and vigorous that it can beset much earlier than Jersey Wakefield or Early Summer 

 and will produce fine solid marketable heads, more than twice as large as Jersey Wakefield and one-half 

 again as large as Early Summer, and come in as early as the Wakefield, and two weeks earlier than Early 

 Summer or any other round or flat-headed variety. Could anything more be wished for in an early market 

 cabbage? On the other hand, when planted for a fall or winter crop, there is no other cabbage which 

 will withstand the summer sun so well, and is so sure to form large, deep solid heads, the quality of 

 which is equal to the best, and when stored for winter will keep perfectly until very late in the spring, 

 coming out in fine salable condition. 



Such a cabbage is Johnson & Stokes' Market Gardeners' Cabbage, No. 2, and all who have not yet 

 given it a trial, will, after growing it, be as enthusiastic in its praise as we are. Try some of the best 

 seed of the very best cabbage in cultivation. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 65c.; X lb., $1 75 ; lb., I6.50.
