GLORY OF ENKHOUSEN CABBAGE 



Glory of Enkhousen 



An Early Round, Solid Head Cabbage of 

 Superior Merit 



This desirable cabbage, Glory of Enkhousen, originated in Holland: in 

 season it is very early, in fact as early as the Early Flat Dutch, with 

 heads frequently twice as large, and weighing three times as much. 

 The large sized, ball shaped heads are very firm and solid, leaves being 

 fine ribbed and exceedingly tender. It is a dwarf and compact grower, 

 allowing close planting; m fact some of its enthusiastic admirers claim 

 it will yield more tons per acre than any other variety on account of close 

 planting. This is not only a valuable early sort, but it grows so large 

 that it can be profitably raised for main crop for Fall use. On account of 

 its quick growth, this cabbage is a most desirable sort for market gar- 

 deners to set out late in July, after early potatoes or other Spring crops are 

 harvested. This cabbage is extensively grown and is extremely popular 

 with the market gardeners generally, and especially with those who use 

 our select strain of Danish Ball Head and who have a trade for a round, 

 solid head cabbage early in the season. Originator' s stock. 



Packet, 10 cts.; % oz., 35 cts.; oz., 65 cts.; % lb., $1.75; lb., $6.75.

MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH CABBAGE. 



Marblehead Mammoth 



The Largest Headed Late Cabbage 



This enormous cabbage excels in size all other varieties. Under high 

 culture it has reached the enormous weight of 50 to 60 pounds per head 

 with a diameter equal to that of a bushel basket, while 30 pounds per 

 head is by no means rare. If you wish to have the biggest cabbage in 

 the whole neighborhood this is the variety to plant. The quality and 

 the flavor is excellent. It is well adapted to the South; is considered 

 one of the most desirable varieties of late cabbage for warm latitudes. 

 Packet, 10 cts.; ounce. 45 cts.; % pound, $1.25; pound, $4.50. 



HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE. 



132 Henderson's Succession 



The Favorite Second Early Cabbage 



A second early variety, coming in a few days later than Early Sum- 

 mer, but it is superior to that variety. It is of nearly double the size, 

 and is absolutely true to its type. It is so finely bred that in a field of 

 twenty acres every head appears alike. 



It is a very handsome cabbage in make up and habit of growth, as 

 well as high bred in quality. The heads are deep and very firm; a long 

 keeping variety. Its large size, great productiveness, reliability, excel- 

 lent flavor, sure cropping and long keeping qualities make it one of the 

 best for general use. 



Packet, 10 cts.; % oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; % lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00. 



Our Frost Proof Cabbage Plants 



Will Double Your 

 Profit - -.Why? 



We cannot guarantee safe delivery of these plants, owing to the congestion of all transportation caused by the 

 war. Our responsibility ends on delivery to the postoffice or express company. No plants shipped C. O. D. 



There are a number of sea islands along the South Carolina sea coast 

 where the soil and climatic conditions are just suited and well adap- 

 ted for growing tough, hardy frost proof cabbage plants during the 

 winter and early spring. The seed is planted in the open field; the 

 plants make a slow but steady growth, until at 8 to 10 weeks of age they 

 are very tough and hardy, the buds are purple and the outer leaves a 

 reddish brown. When in this condition they can be shipped to terri- 

 tory further north and planted in the open ground a month to 6 weeks 

 sooner than the home-grown hot bed or cold frame plants could be 

 planted. These plants will stand a temperature of 8 to 10 degrees above 

 zero without injury, the land freezing, or the plants being covered 

 with ice, sleet or snow after they are planted will not injure them. 



The top of the plant does not grow until your regular spring weather 

 opens up, but the roots grow from the time they are planted and just 

 as soon as spriug weather starts, the established root growth assimi- 

 lates the fertilizer in the soil, the plants grow very fast, maturing 

 headed cabbage 10 days to 3 weeks sooner than you can mature them 

 from hot bed and cold frame plants. You know what the difference in 

 profit will be if your crop is matured and marketed before the general 

 crop from home grown plants is matured.
