CABBAGE 



104 



Stokes' Earliest 



(Etampes) 



For a number of years this Cabbage has been the 

 earliest of all heading varieties. It matures fully 

 one week ahead of the Early Jersey Wakefield, and 

 will not make quite so solid or large a head as the 

 latter variety. Nevertheless, it is a splendid Cab- 

 bage with which to capture the early markets. It is 

 usually entirelj' off the markets before the Jersey 

 Wakefields have started, and for this reason very 

 often brings double money. As a home-garden 

 Cabbage it is unexcelled in quality by any of the 

 early pointed-head varieties. It will mature under 

 favorable conditions, in approximately one hundred 

 days. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., Vilb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



™ S. S. Early Jersey 

 Wakefield 



The most largely known of all extra-early pointed- 

 head varieties. Early Jersey Wakefield will mature 

 about one week later than the Stokes' Earliest 

 ( Etampes ) , producing a considerably larger head than 

 that Cabbage and being of a very firm, solid texture, 

 the quality of which is excellent. The heads keep 

 firm for a considerable length of time and this, of 

 course, is an important factor when it is grown 

 as a field crop. Pkt. 5 Cts., oz. 25 cts., V^lh. 75 cts., 

 lb. $2.50. 



Charleston or Large 

 Wakefield 



The particular merit of this Cabbage is the fact that it will 

 produce an exceedingly large head quite early in the season, 

 being only about six days later in maturing than the Early 

 Jersey Wakefield. It is a sort which is very generally used by all 

 classes of planters, and on the whole gives splendid satisfaction. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., V4lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



Succession 



A sure-heading main-season Cabbage, forming a very large, 

 round head when matured. It is one week later than All Seasons 

 but very vigorous. It may be used as a winter as well as late 

 summer Cabbage. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., l^lb. 85 cts., lb. $3. 



108 



Copenhagen Market 



(Grown In Denmark) 



This magnificent Danish Cabbage has earned for itself a per- 

 manent place with American gardeners. It is as early as Charles- 

 ton Wakefield, but its habit of growth is round rather than pointed 

 as is the latter variety. We do not advise anyone sowing Copen- 

 hagen Market in the fall for transplanting in the spring, as there 

 is danger of its shooting to seed before forming a head. As an early 

 spring Cabbage of the round-head type we know of no rival. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., Vilb. $1.25, lb. $4.

Early Winnigstadt 



AMONG THE BEST MEDIUM-EARLY SORTS 



Early Winnigstadt is a hard, sharply pointed Cabbage which 

 is a sure croppei for, owing to the texture of its dark green leaves, 

 it does not suffer from insects and diseases as some other less- 

 hardy varieties unfortunately do. Early \\'innigstadt is well 

 adapted for kraut, and is very often used as a winter Cabbage 

 when the seed is sown late. Pkt. 5 Cts., oz. 25 Cts., V^lb. 75 Cts., 

 lb. $2.50. 



117 



Early Flat Dutch 



Copenhagen Market Cabbage 



A very valuable and economical second-early variety. The 

 plant is short-stemmed, upright and with few outer leaves, con- 

 sequently the rows can be set close together. The heads are 

 nearly round, with a slightly flattened top, very solid and uniform 

 in shape and size. This variety is slightly earlier than Early 

 Summer Cabbage, which we discarded one year ago owing to its 

 simiiaritv to Early Flat Dutch. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 Cts., V^lb. 

 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



Foreign hostilities have made Cabbage seed exception- 

 ally scarce, but our customers can rest assured we offer 

 only the best stocks.
