FAUST'S VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



23 



This is a most importani 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 fur early, and our Short Stem 

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

EXTRA EAR. 

 LY ETAMPES, 



This variety, in 

 point of e a r 1 i- 

 ness, ranks next 

 to Faust's Earli- 

 est of All It 

 originated in 

 France, where it 

 is most popular, 

 but has been 

 grown largely in 

 this country for 

 a number of 

 years, and is 

 much liked for 

 an early variety. 

 The heads are 

 oblong, rounded 

 at the top, solid 

 and firm, seldom 

 failing to head, 

 lb., $1.90. 



Large Early York. Of large size, stands the heat well 

 and makes good-sized heads. Per pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 34 

 lb., 35 cts.; lb., §1.20.

 and heart-shaped, and good quality. Per pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 

 Cts.; ^Ib., 35 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



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., 30 

 cts.; 341b., 90 cts.; lb., $3.00. 



SHORT-STEM DRUMHEAD. There are few other cab- 

 bages that can compare with it in productiveness, beautiful 

 appearance and excellent cooking and keeping quaUties. Has 

 every short stem, the heads grow to an immense size, are 

 hard, solid and round, and flattened on top ; uniform in 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 largelv of this varietv. Heads are of the finest quality, 

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

 oz., 25 cts.; 34 lb., 80 cts.; lb., $3.00.

 very hard heads, which are round and heavy. It is about 10

 riety with round, large heads, almost flat on top. It is second

 broad and round ; very tender and fine grained. Per pkt., 5 

 cts.; oz.,20cts.; % lb., 60 cts.; lb., $1.90. 



ALL HE.4.D 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., 30 cts.; 341b., 80 cts.; lb., $3.00. 



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.,
