Improved Danish Ballhead Cabbage 



Improved Danish Ballhead Cabbage 



This variety is also sold under the name of 

 Hollander, German Export and Dutch Winter. 

 The fame of this sort has become world wide, and 

 today stands without a peer, as the hardest head- 

 ing cabbage, 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 

 exclusively for winter cabbage, and they annually 

 export large quantities to other countries. It will 

 stand long journeys and keep far into the spring, 

 the heads are of medium size, are very solid and 

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

 tirely different from any other strain, and they 

 keep better than any other sort, the heads be- 

 ing 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 

 little waste heart. This will do best if planted a 

 week or ten days earlier than our common drum- 

 head sorts, and on deep, heavy loam, and liberally 

 manured land. 



Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., % lb. 50 cts., lb 

 $1.75. 



The Volga Cabbage 



Or Stone Head 



A new variety lately introduced from Eussia. 

 It is strong and hardy, invariably producing a 

 crop. The heads are large, round and perfectly 

 solid. Few outside leaves and does not crack. 

 The flesh is firm, tender and white ; most desirable 

 for kraut as well as for all other purposes. It is 

 about two weeks earlier in maturing than the 

 other late main crop sorts. "We predict this cab- 

 bage will lead all others as a main crop variety 

 when better known. 



Price, per pkt. 5 cts., oz 25 cts., % lb. 60 cts., 

 lb. $2.00. 



CELERY 

 WINTER QUEEN 



A most popular and valuable variety of Celery

 orous growth, each plant makes a large number of 

 fine stalks, large heart of rich golden yellow, which

 ter it is an excellent keeper, and when taken out 

 the blanched stalks are firm and crisp, entirely 

 free from strings, brittle and of sweet flavor. 

 Most highly recommended. Price, pe/ pkt. 5 cts.,
