\Eff EARLIEST EXPRESS Although I first introduced this Cab- 

 bage in '87, it still beads the list as the earliest Cabbage In cultiva- 

 tion, and bids fair to hold its position for many years to come. In this 

 connection, X wish to call attention to the fact that I have boomed 

 ff/ 'A Express for8 years, Surehead for 18 years, and Midsummer, which 

 f I first introduced in 1889, for 6 years. Now almost every seedsman ap- 

 Dears to have the idea that he should introduce a new Cabbage every 

 ^'^Sj year, and if the pace is kept up for a few years more, the number of 

 Cabbages listed by the Am. seedsman, if he wants to sell them all, will 



run into the hundreds. I point with pride to the fact that in 18 years 



"^g; .3 I have introduced only four varieties— Sure-head in 1877; Express in 

 W^-s 18*»7; Midsummer in 1889, and the Lupton in lH'J. every one of which 

 have come to stay. Asking your pardon for digressing in this way, I 

 will now say in regard to Express: It has frequently produced fair 

 6ize, marketable heads in 70 days from sowing the seed; it is even a 

 few days earlier than the celebrated Etampes, but does not form quite 

 so large a head. When it is considered, however, that the Express 

 forms a head fit for use in 70 to 80 days from the sowing of the seed, 

 every one will at once admit it is a wonderful addition to our list of 

 Cabbages. In quality it is A No. I, has comparatively few loose leaves, 

 and almost every plant forms a fine head every time. Like Etampes, 

 it holds its head admirably, and as it can be planted close icgether, 

 yields a very large crop. There are many Cabbages called earliest, 

 listed by others, bat my customers always find that Express dis- 

 counts them all. Fkt, 10 cts.; ounce, 25 cts.; J£ lb., 75 cts.; lb., J2.50. 



MAILE'S MIDSCMMER This excellent variety is nearly as 



early as Early Summer, aDd at the same time produces much larger 

 -^mallKUlim. beads, which for solidity and compactness are unsurpass-

rger than Early Summer, as many plants can 

 te set to the acre. It Is a remarkably snre 

 header, and for a market crop Is one 

 \ of the most profitable varieties In ti- 

 /Jh- Istence. Maule's Midsummer is very 

 Wttf/fiMg^* similar in many respects to the All 

 Ws^^SSefy Seasons, lately introduced by Mr. 



Gregory, and comes from very near 

 the same source on Long Island.

Mammoth Red Rock.' 



The largest and hardiest heading red Cab- 

 bage in cultivation. Successful Long Is- 



1 land market gardeners will raise no other 

 kind of red Cabbage, for they consider this 

 the best of all. The heads frequently av- i 

 erage 12 pounds each, and It Is a very sure I 

 cropper. If you want as fine red Cabbage 

 as you ever saw, you must sow Red Rock, 

 for" it absolutely leads every other red sort, 

 and I know you will be pleased with it. 

 True seed of Red Rock has been scarce for 

 years, as it is a very shy seeder, but this 

 year, l am glad to announce to my custo- 

 mers, I harvested n crop of choice seed ex- 

 ceeding 400 pounds, consequently take 

 pleasure In offering it at the following re- 



I duced prices: Packet. 10 cts.; ounce, 25 

 cts.; pound. 75 cts.; pound, 82.60.
