FAU5T'5 

 Earliest of all Cabbage 



This wonderfully handsome and valuable 

 variety is the outcome of years of careful 

 growing and selection and is unquestionably 

 the earliest, best quality, most uniform in 

 color, size and shape of any variety yet intro- 

 duced. The heads, are of conical shape (as 

 shown in the illustration), very large and 

 solid, and of neat perfect form. It has but 

 few outer leaves, thus enabling closer planting 

 and a larger crop. It will mature fine heads 

 in 40 days from the time plants are set out in 

 the open ground. In this Cabbage vou have 

 the EARLIEST, FINEST QUALITY, 

 BEST YIELDER and the SUREST and 

 MOST PROFITABLE VARIETY to

 most carefully selected heads, and we guarantee 

 will produce the finest cabbage. We have re- 

 ceived testimonials from all portions of the 

 United States in praise of this fine Cabbage,

ARLINGTON DARK BLOOD RED

 darker color. Has but small tops and of uniform growth, 

 leaf, stems and veins dark red. The roots are rich dark 

 red in color ; flesh deep red and very sweet and retains its 

 deep red color when cooked. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.;

This new melon has proved itself to be a decided acquisition, no finer melon having been introduced. It originated on the 

 fiirm of a truck grower In North Carolina, and is a cross between the Kolb Gem and Mountain Sweet, surpassing the former in 

 Bhipping qualities and fully equalling the latter in fine eating quality and flavor. It is from a week to 10 days earlier than either, 

 has aremarkably thin, tough rind, and as a keeper and shipper it has no equal. Its productiveness is unequalled; each vine 

 matures 7 to 8 large melons ; the vines are strong and rapid growers, and have more laterals than any other varieties; possessing 

 the valuable quality of rooting from everv joint, which adds largely to the bearing and life of the vines. The flesh is bright 

 scarlet, of fine quality, almost down to the skin. The melons are of a dark green color and most beautifully striped, cf oblong 

 shape. The melons in market bring the highest prices. Kolb's Gem are usually selling for 20 and 25 cents, while the Dixie are 

 eagerly sought after and brin^ 30 and So cents each. To sum up its good qualities— it is The Most Productive, Finest 

 Eating, Best Shipper ever introduced. Per pkt.. 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts. ; 3^ lb., 20 cts. ; lb., 60 cts.; postpaid.
