Steckler's French Market Winter, 

 brought to this market. The heads are larger 

 than the Crescent City Large Late Flat 

 Dutch, very solid, dark green in color, and 

 matures as early. Fine for shipping. 



Pride of the South. An excellent new 

 variety, resembling the German Brunswick 

 closely in appearance and color, but more 

 globular in shape, not quite as large and 

 equally as early. In growth it is very uni- 

 form, heading regular and very firm and is a 

 good shipping variety. The seed should be 

 sown during the months of October and 

 November for spring crop and will come in at 

 the same time with the Brunswick and Early 

 Summer. 



Selected Early Jersey Wakefield. Our 

 stock of this is very superior, and it has at- 

 tained a big reputation with truckers and 

 market-gardeners wherever grown. It is an 

 ideal market-gardeners' first early cabbage, 

 and is suited alike for the family garden and 

 market. Not only is the head large and solid 

 for so early a cabbage, but the outside foliage 

 permits of close planting, and its uniformity 

 and reliability for producing a crop makes it 

 a general favorite. 



Large, or Charleston Wakefield. This 

 is a few days later than the Early Jersey 

 Wakefield, but makes a larger and firmer 

 head. In fact, in our trial grounds it makes 

 the largest and most solid heading of early 

 cabbages. We strongly recommend it as the 

 best main crop early cabbage grown, for the 

 home garden and market. Our seed of this 

 is grown from a special selected stock. 



Early Dwarf Savoy. 



Early York. 



Danish Ball Head— {Hollander.) This 

 extra hard-heading variety originated in Den- 

 mark. It is the medium-sized, hard white 

 that is received from abroad during the early 

 spring months, and even after the long jour- 

 ney arrives in splendid condition. It is a 

 medium or late variety, used mostly as a 

 winter cabbage. 



All Head, Early. The largest heading of 

 the second early sorts, of excellent quality. 

 The deep flat heads are remarkably solid, 

 and very uniform in size, of a very compact 

 growth, having few outer leaves; can be 

 planted as close as the Wakefield. 



Sure Head— (Genuine Stock from the 

 Originator. ) Remarkable for its certainty to 

 head. Produces very large, flattened heads, 

 weighing from ten to fifteen pounds; very 

 uniform and firm. 



St. Louis Late Market Cabbage. The 

 Very Best Late Cabbage in Existence. It 

 never fails to make a crop; runs heavy in 

 weight owing to its size and solidity; is the 

 longest keeper of any; gets bigger and better 

 the longer it stands and never rots or bursts; 

 resists drouth and insects by its sturdy con- 

 stitution; can be cut as early as any late sort, 

 continues growing after others have matured. 



Louisville Drumhead Cabbage. Astrong 

 and vigorous, but not coarse growing sort of 

 Flat Dutch type. Plants short stemmed and 

 compact, with broad, well rounded, large 

 leaves, very full at base. Head semi-flat, 

 thick and of good quality. 



Stein's Early Flat Dutch. 



Shears, Pruning Knives, Pruning Saws, Hedge Shears, Etc.
