CABBAGE, continued 



Extra-Early Round- 

 Headed Sorts 



Copenhagen Market 



This splendid sort from Denmark has, 

 within a period of ten years, reached a 

 greater popularity than any other variety 

 on record. It compares favorably in many 

 respects with Enkhuizen Glory, but is, 

 perhaps, of slightly finer texture. Copen- 

 hagen Market prefers sections offering an 

 abundance of moisture. It does particu- 

 larly well throughout the eastern part of 

 this country and along river-bottoms. 

 Heads weighing 8 to 10 pounds may be 

 cut within 100 days after seed is sown. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 oz. 45 cts., oz. 85 cts. 



We have closely studied this remarkable 

 extra-early sort for more than ten years, and 

 we have yet to find a person who has anything but praise for it. Com- 

 bines earliness, size, and quality in an extraordinary degree. Within 

 110 days after seed is sown, you may go out into your garden and cut 

 fine heads, 10 to 12 inches in diameter, weighing 8 to 10 pounds each. 

 Enkhuizen Glory makes a very compact growth, so that, planted 

 from 18 to 20 inches apart in the row, on rich soil, it will outyield 

 every other extra-early sort except Copenhagen Market described 

 above. It does particularly well on the cool, moist clay upland of 

 Pennsylvania and New York states. Our stock of this sort comes 

 from its originator in Holland and will please tne most particular. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., V 2 oz. 40 cts., oz. 75 cts. 



Enkhuizen Glory. 



Midseason Sorts 



Early All head. Leading early summer Cabbage. 

 Very solid and grows uniform in size and form; sure- 

 heading and adaptable to many soils — a point much 

 in its favor; it has also proved equally good 

 as a winter Cabbage. Since the plants are 

 of exceptionally compact growth, as many 

 as 1,000 extra heads per acre may be 

 gathered, where close planting is 

 practised. Pkts. 5 cts. and 10 

 cts., oz. 60 cts. 



All-Season, or Succession. A 

 dandy to be planted as a companion 

 to Early Allhead; heads grow 



Enkhuizen Glory. A fine early for the home-garden 



Copenhagen Market. From a photo taken on our trial-grounds 



Eureka First-Early. This is the only Cabbage we know of that 

 forms heads before Early Jersey Wakefield. Within the almost in- 

 credible time of 95 days we have known this variety to perfect heads 

 of the Extra- Early Flat Dutch type, and these heads would not only be 

 heavier but also harder than Jersey Wakefield of a like age. Eureka 

 First Early is bound to win many friends. It combines excellent table 

 qualities with an exceedingly small rib and fine grain and is assured 

 a welcome reception where quality is first consideration. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 Vioz. 40 cts., oz. 70 cts. 



Late Sorts for Winter Keeping 



Surehead. One of the finest of the Late Flat Dutch type, 

 uniform in shape and size, solid and heavy. Surehead will 

 do well under widely varying conditions of soil and climate, 

 which accounts for its tremendous popularity. If in doubt 

 which sort to select for a winter Cabbage, grow 

 Surehead! Pkts. 5 cts. and 10 cts., oz. 65 cts. 



Select Late, or Premium Flat Dutch. More 

 extensively grown for main crops than any other 

 sort. Large, broad, roundish flat; 

 solid; good keeping quality. Pkts. 

 5 cts. and 10 cts., oz. 60 cts. 



Danish Short-Stem Round- 

 head. The earliest of the Ballhead 

 type, and short-stemmed; heads 

 large and heavy; withstands severe 

 droughts. Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 oz. 40 

 cts., oz. 75 cts. 



Danish Ballhead. Heads of 

 medium size, round, and very solid; 

 matures late, and is a splendid 

 keeper. Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 oz. 40 

 cts., oz. 75 cts. 



Autumn King, or World 

 Beater. A late, compact-growing 

 sort with very deep, bluish green 

 foliage. In good soil it will perfect 

 extra-large, flat heads which, in 

 keeping qualities, rank among the best sorts for winter. Pkts. 5 cts. 

 and 10 cts., oz. 60 cts. 



Short-Stem Drumhead. Of uniform and dwarf growth. Heads 

 very solid and attaining a weight of 20 to 25 pounds. Pkts. 5 cts. 

 and 10 cts., oz. 60 cts. 



Savoy and Red Cabbages 



Those who appreciate difference in quality of Cabbage should make it a point to 

 grow more Savoy. It is safe to say that, next to Brussels Sprouts, Savoy Cabbages 

 are of more delicate flavor than any other member of the Cabbage family. Red 

 Cabbages are used mostly for pickling and slaws. They are of very much stronger 

 flavor than white Cabbage. The Rock Red is the most widely grown while Red Danish 

 Stonehead takes the prize as a keeper. 



Perfection Drumhead Savoy. Heads large and solid, with finely curled leaves of 

 delicate flavor; a good keeper. Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 oz. 40 cts.; oz. 75 cts. 



Mammoth Rock Red. A select late strain with very large and solid heads. 

 A favorite Cabbage for pickling. Pkt. 10 cts., y 2 oz. 40 cts., oz. 75 cts. 



Red Danish Stonehead. Heads perfectly round and extremely solid; large in 

 size; deep purplish red, showing but slight traces of white. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 75 cts. 



Chinese, or Celery Cabbage, Pe-Tsai. Forms a long head as shown in 

 illustration on page 4. Of mild flavor. Jt jnay be eaten raw as salad or 

 boiled. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 50 cts.

 what heavier; good for early and 

 late crop. Pkts. 5 cts. and 10 cts.,
