:A\< 'K'.W 



EARLIEST ETAMPES. 



EARLY HARD HEAD — This new variety, coming in a little after 

 the Wakefield, is rrrbst desirable as a first-class second Early. Forms 

 fine, large, solid heads with few loose leaves and of extra good quality, 

 can be set very close in the rows and is an immense cropper. Every 

 Cabbage grower should find out at once how profitable Early Hard 

 Head is for either the home or market garden. Pkt., 15 cts., oz*, 35 cts. 



R. C. Linebeck, Vienna, N. C: " Your Early Cabbages are t he best I ever bought. 

 They are earlier and bead better than any sort I ever tried."

My prices on all the 3 above varieties are the same, namely : 

 Pkt., 5 cts.; oz.,10cts. ; 1-1 lb., «0 cts., 1 11), 65 cts.; 5 lbs., 

 enough for one aere, $2.75; or I will sell 1 pkt. of each, vari- 

 ety, 10 cts. ; 1 oz. of each, HO cts. ; 1-4 lb. of each, 50 cts. ; 1 lb. 

 of each, $1.75; or 5 lbs. of each for $7.50. As the crop of 

 Mangel seed is a very short one this year, I have had to 

 advance my prices a little over those quoted last season. 



MAMMOTH PRIZE LONG RED — The best 

 for deep soil. -This splendid variety has created 

 a great sensation wherever grown on account of 

 its extraordinary size, wonderful produc- 

 tiveness, and superior quality. At Smithfleld 

 cattle show, specimens have been exhibited 

 weighing SO lbs. 



MAULK'S CHAMPION YELLOW GLOHK.- 

 This is the best Yellow (ilobe, as the Prize is tin- 

 best L«ng Red in cultivation, it is a splendid 

 keeper, and cows fed on it give an unusual sup- 

 plj of riob milk. I highly recommend this 

 strain of Yellow Globe Mangel to all 



YELLOW TANKARD — The best for dairy 



farming. Considered India penaible among 

 English dairy farmers, and it is stated by them 

 that thev are able lo obtain a higher price lor 

 their milk when feeding their cows on (, olden 

 Tankard. Sheep thrive on it. Other Mangels 

 cut while, circled witti yellow, but Golden Tank- 

 ard is of a rich, deep yellow throughout. It is 

 early, hardy, and a very heavy cropper, for on 

 account of' its shape, roots can be left standing 

 close in the rows. Crop short and seed very 

 Scarce. Do not omit Ibis variety when 

 ordering.

THE .UMBO MANGEL has produced 

 over 00 tons to the acre, and is the very 

 best strain of Long Red in cultivation. Has > 

 been grown to Weigh over 50 lbs., yet it is 



not coarse but most excellent for stock feed- 

 ing. If you want the heaviest cropper of all 

 Mangels, sow the Jumbo t his year. Pkt., 10 .
