COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



Improved 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. This is the 

 variety offered in this country, as Hollsind cabbage. 

 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 

 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 little 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 cts., oz. 25 cts., V4. lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.75.

 World-Beater Cabbage

 Hardiest Heading Cabbage

The Autumn King, is uniformly true to

 other large cabbage. Stalk short, foliage 

 compact, dark green, with a purplish-brown 

 tinge. It is a rapid grower, and vvhile it will 

 well repay good treatment, yet it does not 

 require special culture to develop. Per pkt. 5

Autumn King Cabbage 



THE LUPTON CABBAGE 



Tliis new variety originated on Long Island 

 with a large cabbage seed grower. It is cer- 

 tainly a very fine strain, and worthy of ex- 

 tended trial.

 to type, most regular in growth, not only in 

 small test trials, but in field trials embracing 

 every loiown variety of cabbage. Its gi'owth 

 is particularly strong and vigorous; its color 

 a dark, bluish green. In point of maturity 

 it is about a week in advance of the various 

 strains of the Late Flat Dutch. It matures 

 very evenly, is reliable and uniform about 

 heading, is an excellent keeper, and for all 

 purposes of the farmer or market gardener, 

 wo Ixlicvo it will be found one of the best 

 late main crop cabbages. Per pkt. 5 cts.,
