FAUST'S VEGBTABI^B SEEDS. 



23 



This is a most important crop to the market gardener and small grower, and too much caution cannot be exercised in 

 knowing that the seed is reliable and true. Our seed is grown with the utmost care under our personal supervision, and we 

 know that it is fresh, pure, reliable and true to name, and that they have been grown from the heads only, and these most 

 carefully selected. The popularity and reliability of our Cabbage Seed is attested by our large market gardener trade in all 

 parts of the United States. We particularly recommend our Earliest of All and Jersey Wakefield for early, and our Rhort Stem 

 Drumhead and Prize Head Late Flat Dutch for late or winter cabbage.

 years, and is 

 much liked for 

 an early variety.

Extra Early Etampes Cabbage. 



Selected Early Jersey Wakefield. 



SELECTED EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. This 

 variety is more generally known and more largely grown than 

 any other of the early cabbages. It has long been the market 

 gardeners' favorite. Heads up hard and solid, having but 

 few outside leaves. The heads are pyramidal in shape, large 

 and of good quality for so early a cabbage. Our strain is un- 

 equalled, being the "True Type." Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20

SHORT-STEM DRUMHEAD. There are few other cab- 

 bages that can compare with it in productiveness, beautiful 

 appearance and excellent cooking and keeping quahties. Has 

 a very short stem, the heads grow to an immense size, are 

 hard, solid and round, and flattened on top ; uniformin shape 

 and size. It is particularly remarkable for its certainty to 

 head, and is very sweet flavored, has but few loose leaves, 

 keeps well and is a general favorite. Cabbage growers in the 

 South, where so many varieties fail to head, would do well to 

 raise largely of this variety. Heads are of the finest quality, 

 and frequently weigh from 20 to 30 pounds. Per pkt., 5 cts.; 

 <M., 25 cts.; % lb., 75 cts.; lb. §2.50.

 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 lb, 40 cts.; lb. $1.50. 



ALL HEAD EARLY. This new variety, recently intro- 

 duced, has given excellent satisfaction. It is one of the earli- 

 est large cabbages, being 3^ larger than Early Summer; the 

 deep, flat heads are remarkably tender, solid and uniform in 

 color as well in size and shape. It is all that can be desired 

 for eariiness, it is also valuable for a late or winter cabbage. 

 Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; }i lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25. 



ALL SEASONS. As suggested by its name, this variety 

 of cabbage may be planted early or late, and will produce 

 alike good results. It is fully equal to many of the earlier 

 sorts in quality and eariiness, and grows to a much larger 

 size. It forms firm, hard, round heads flattened on the top, 

 which do not burst after heading, and is very desirable for a 

 winter keeper, the heads being of great thickness. Per pkt.,

 nated with Mr. Vandergaw, on Long Island, who for years 

 has been selecting and improving it. Our seed is grown from 

 stock seed procured from him. Forms large, solid heads, 

 which mature nearly as early as the Early Summer, being 

 tender and crisp. The cabbage is a sure header, 97 marketable 

 size heads being an average out of 100 in yield. All who have 

 grown it speak in the highest praise of its fine qualities. It is 

 unquestionably one of the Bef^t, Surest and Most Profitable va- 

 rieties to grow. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz.,15 cts.; 1^ lb, 50 cts,; 

 lb., $1,50

 shipping to Northern markets, and is also sown extensively 

 now in all parts of our country. 1 1 matures a few days later 

 than our Selected Early Jersey Wakefield, forming heads 

 one-halfagain larger and fully as solid. A great advantage 

 is that it does not burst open when ripe like many of the 

 early sorts, and consequently can be left standing on the 

 ground a long whilo without injury until wanted. Owing to 

 its compact nature it can be set out in rows two feet apart 

 and twenty inches in rows. Our seed is true, all grown from 

 selected heads. Its many excellent qualities have made it 

 a favorite with private as well as market gardeners. Per
