COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



Early Eureka, or First Early Cabbage 



Early Eureka Cabbage 



This fine new extra early variety originated with 

 Francis Brill, the pioneer Cabbage seed grower of 

 Long Island. It is a cross of the Early Wakefield 

 and Succession. It is as early as the Wakefield, with 

 round heads like the Early Summer and Succession 

 type, and as hard and solid as the Holland or Dan- 

 ish Ball Head. It grows very compactly, thus yield- 

 ing a much larger crop than other early varieties; 

 a splendid keeper for an early variety on account of 

 its -solidness. For garden or market use it is unex- 

 celled. Everyone should give this new variety a 

 trial. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts., lb, 

 $2.00. 



Charleston, or Large Wakefield Cabbage 



This variety has become a popular market cab- 

 bage. It is about a week later than Wake- 

 field, the heads are nearly one-third larger and 

 very solid. It is very compact in growth and 

 so can be planted more close than moist varie- 

 ties. One great advantage with this sort is that 

 it does not burst open when ripe. This sort is 

 grown largely in the south and around large cit- 

 ies for shipping long distanceis on account of its 

 good keeping qualities, and is one of the best 

 large early sorts on the market. Per pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 25 cts., % lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.00. 



Votir seeds are all right and give the best 

 of satisfaction imder all conditions of 

 weather, climate and soil. f. D. K. Mar-

Charleston, or Large Wakefield Cabbage 



Improved Danish Ballhead Cabbage 



Inii)roved Danish Ballhead Cabbage 



This variety is also sold under the name of the 

 Hollander, German Export and Dutch Winter. The 

 fame of this sort has become world wide, and today 

 stands without a peer, as the hardest heading cab- 

 bage; longest keeping qualities, and great weight 

 for its size. This variety has been selected and 

 perfected for more than fifty years by the Danish 

 gardeners. 



In Denmark and Holland it is grown almost ex- 

 clusively for winter cabbage, and they annually ex- 

 port large quantities to other countries. It will 

 stand long journeys and keep far into the pprlng:, 

 the heads are of medium size, are very solid 

 and deep, and of a fine white color, making them 

 entirely different from any other strain, and they 

 keep better than any other sort, the heads being 

 just as solid and perfect when taken up in the 

 spring as when they were put away in the fall. 



Quality fine, being tender and crisp, with but lit- 

 tle waste heart. This will do best if planted a week 

 or ten days earlier than our common drumhead sorts, 

 and on deep, heavy loam, and liberally manured 

 land. 



Per pkt. 5 eta., oz. 20 cts., M lb. 60 cts., lb. $1.76.
