LATE CABBAGES AND RED CABBAGES. 



AUTUMN KING OR WORLD BEATER. 



MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH. 



MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH This enormous cabbage excels in 



size all other varieties. Under high culture it has reached the enor- 

 mous weight of 50 to 60 pounds per head, with a diameter equal to that 

 of a 2-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, however, is not coarse, and the flavor 

 is delicate'and excellent. It is well adapted to the South, and is in favor 

 there, and is considered one of the most desirable varieties of late cab- 

 bage for warm latitudes. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; % lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



STONEMASON.— This is a very popular variety among New Eng- 

 land growers, being a sure header. H makes a deep, round and very 

 hard head, the outer leaves arching above it handsomely. In reliability 

 for heading, no cabbage surpasses it. It gives general satisfaction, and 

 I can recommend it. Pkt,. 5 cts.: oz., 20 cts.; 54 lb., CJ cts.; lb., S2.00. 



THE LUPTON.— This splendid cabbage, which 1 introduced some 

 vears ago, originated in a field of Flat Dutch, on the eastern end of Long 

 Island, in a district famous for growing cabbage seed. It bids fair to 

 equal, if not surpass, anything in America. (See specialties.) 



Al'TCMS KING OR 

 WORLD BEATER.— 



This variety resembles 

 Marblebead Mammoth, 

 but by some people is 

 considered better. It pro- • 

 duces solid heads of a 

 dark shade of green.with 

 with fewer outer leaves ( 

 than many other late ' 

 cabbages, and can be 

 planted closer. A dis- 

 tinct feature is its pecu- 

 liarly crimpled leaves, 

 which not only add to its 

 beauty, but enable it to 

 be recognized anywhere. 

 Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 

 Vi lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50.
