EARLY CABBAGE 



Ger. Kopf-Kohl. Fr. Chow Pomme. 

 One ounce will produce two thousand plants and sow about fifty square feet. 

 Our Cabbage Seed is grown from high-bred selected stocks, of the best American grown varieties. 

 The purchase of cheap Cabbage Seed is the poorest investment in the world; the failure can never be 

 known until an entire season's labor and outlay are lost. 



Early Jersey Wakefield 



EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. Many experi- 

 enced market gardeners consider this the very 

 best "First Early Cabbage". It is certainly de- 

 serving of its great popularity, and is grown 

 for market more extensively than any other 

 early cabbage. It has been our aim to have 

 the very finest strain of so important a variety 

 and we can recommend our seed as sure to give 

 satisfaction. It heads up remarkably hard and 

 solid; having few outside leaves the plants can 

 be set close together. The heads are of excel- 

 lent quality and of large size for so early a 

 cabbage. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz., 30 cts., M lb. 

 $1.00. 



ALL-HEAD EARLY. In this variety we have 

 an excellent second early cabbage, which is not 

 only All-Head, but never fails to head. The 

 great advantage of having an early cabbage 

 that is sure to produce a large, solid, crisp 

 head, and one that will answer for an early or 

 late variety, can well be appreciated. Per pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., Vi lb. $1.00. 



CHARLESTON OR LARGE WAKEFIELD. This 

 variety has become a popular market cabbage. 



Charleston, or Large Wakefield Cabbage 



It is about a week later than Wakefield, the 

 heads are nearly one-third larger and very sol- 

 id. It is very compact in growth and so can 

 be planted more close than most varieties. One 

 great advantage with this sort is that it does 

 not burst open when ripe. This sort is grown 

 largely in the south and around large cities for 

 shipping long distances on account of its good 

 keeping qualities, and is one of the best large 

 early sorts on the market. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 30 cts., ^4 lb. $1.00. 

 EARLY WINNINGSTADT. One of the best in 

 cultivation for general use. It comes both 

 early and late; is remarkably solid and hard, 

 e^en in summer, and keeps well in hot or cold 

 weather. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., \i lb. 

 $1.00. 



CABBAGE — Second Early and Intermediate Sorts 



GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN. This second early 

 variety is very sure heading and of excellent 

 quality. The plants are of vigorous growth, 

 with large, rather spreading outer leaves which 

 are noticeably curved and frilled. The heads 

 are globular or very nearly round, very solid 

 and of large size for so early a variety. Per 

 pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., hi lb. $1.00. 



COPENHAGEN MARKET. The earliest large 

 round-headed cabbage yet introduced. The 

 heads are exceptionally large for so early a 



variety, very solid of the most excellent qual- 

 ity. The plants are vigorous but compact, 

 with short stem and few outer leaves which 

 are of rather upright growth. The leaves are 

 medium light green, nearly round, compara- 

 tively thick and smooth. This is a most ex- 

 cellent sort, both for the home garden and 

 market gardening trade. Our strain produces 

 the characteristic large, round heads that for 

 solidity and excellent quality make this var- 

 iety so valuable. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts.. 

 hi lb. $1.00. 



CABBAGE — Late or Autumn and Winter Sorts 



HOLLANDER OR DANISH BALL HEAD. Very hardy, sure heading, very solid, of good quality 

 and as one of the very best keepers this is particularly desirable for distant markets or for late spring 

 use. The plants are vigorous and compact, with stem medium length. They are exceedingly hardy in 

 resisting cold and stand dry weather well. The leaves are distinctly upright in growth, few but rather 

 large, long and narrow, thick, smooth, bluish green covered with whitish bloom. The heads are medium 

 sized, round, exceptionallyy solid and stand shipment better than any other late sort. Our strain of 

 Hollander is shorter stemmed and produces heads generally larger that other stocks. We offer seed 

 of our own growing which, judging from our trials, will produce more uniformly typical heads than 

 can be grown from stock obtainable elsewhere. Pkt. 

 AMERICAN DRUMHEAD SAVOY. Closely ap- 

 proaching the Cauliflower in delicacy and de- 

 licious flavor. The best of all the Savoys for 

 general market or home use. It has a short 

 stump, grown to a large size, is compace and 

 solid, and a good header. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 25 cts., % lb. SI. 00. 

 MAMMOTH ROCK RED. The largest and surest 



cts., oz. 25 cts., Vi lb. $1.00. 

 heading red cabbage. The plants are large 

 and vigorous with medium length stem and 

 spreading outer leaves which are dark green 

 with red veining. The heads are late matur- 

 ing, large, round, very solid and of very at- 

 tractive deep red color. The variety is much 

 used for cold slaw and pickling. Pkt, § cts., 

 oz. 30 cts., % lb. $1.00.
