CABBAGE— G^^ ^0/2/. Early Varieties 



Eureka, or First Early. — {See cut.) A flat-headed 

 Cabbage, fully as early in maturing as the well-known Early 

 Jersey Wakefield, must prove extremely valuable to the mar- 

 ket gardener. This new variety is such a cabbage, and will 

 fill a long felt want. Six years ago an enterprising and care- 

 ful cabbage grower made a cross with a fine strain of early 

 Jersey Waketield on the well known Succession Cabbage, and 

 the result was the production of this new extra early flat- 

 headed variety which is now thoroughly fixed as to type. It 

 matures its large flat heads fully as early as the Wakefield, 

 and the quality is excellent. The heads are very solid and 

 leaves tender, being entirely free from coarseness. The 

 plants may be set as close in the field as the Wakefield and 

 can be depended upon to head up well. Eureka or First 

 Early will quickly make friends among those who grow largely 

 for the market. Oz., 25 cts. ; % lb., 85 cts. ; lb., S3. 00. 



Selected Jersey Wakefield. A leading early variety 

 for market gardeners' use. We have sold this sort for the past 

 twenty-seven years. Our strain is being constantly improved, 

 both in purity and earliness. There is no cabbage so widely 

 known as the Early Jersey Wakefield. Oz. , 25 cts.; }{ lb., 

 85 cts.; lb., ^3.00. 



The Cliarleston, or Large Wakefield. Large 

 solid heads, of good quality, a few days later than Early 

 Jersey Wakefield. The strain we offer is of exceptional purity 

 and cannot fail to give satisfaction, as it combines all the good 

 qualities of an early long-keeping sort, which is especially 

 desirable for shipping. Oz., 30 cts ; % \b., ^I.OO ; lb., 53- SO- 



Early Spring'. Nearly as early as the Jersey Wakefield, but 

 the heads are of the round, flat type of Early Summer. It 

 has very few small outer leaves, thus allowing its being planted 

 very close. The type is thoroughly fixed and heads grow 

 remarkably uniform m size and shape ; stem short and heart 

 very small, making almost entire head fit for use. The heads 

 harden at an early stage of growth, so that they are really fit 

 for use before fully matured. Oz., 25 cts.; % lb-, 75 cts.; 

 lb., $2.50. 



Dreer's Early Drumhead. A favorite with the mar- 

 ket gardeners ; a second early, large, round, solid heading 

 variety. The best for following the large Charleston Wake- 

 field, as it matures about ten days later, finest quality. Oz., 

 25 cts.; X lt>-' 75 cts.; lb., $2.50. 



Improved Early Summer. A second early Cabbage, 

 which matures about ten days after the Jersey Wakefield. It 

 makes a large, solid, flattish head, with short outer leaves, 

 which admit of close planting. It is of good quality, being 

 very tender and free from coarseness. Oz. , 20 cts. ; ^ ^^r 

 65 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



Succession. A good second early round-headed sort, heads 

 very evenly, and comes in a few days after the Early Summer. 

 It also grows larger than the latter variety. Oz. , 25 cts.; ^ 

 lb , 75 cts.; lb., $2.50.

 Itght soils, where it does better than other sorts. Oz., 15 cts., 

 % lb., 45 cts,; lb., 5i.50-
