ALL SEASONS CABBAGE 



Seedsman Gregory, the introducer, from 

 whom we obtained our seed, speaks of this 

 new cabbage as follows , — 



What would my market gardener customers 

 say of a new Drumhead Cabbage as early 

 and every way as good as Henderson's Early 

 Summer, but yielding heads from a third to 

 half as large again ? Now, this new cabbage, 

 while it matures a day or two later in the 

 spring, when planted in July matures a day 

 or two earlier than Henderson's in the fall, 

 so that it will average as early, while the 

 solid heads are from a third to half as large 

 again ! As a rule, our earliest cabbages are 

 only good as early cabbages, being too small 

 for late, or too small and thin to be kept 

 over winter ? but the heads of this new cab- 

 bage being large and also thick through 

 make it a most excellent variety, either for extreme early for fall or for spring marketing. Price, 

 per packet, 15 cents ; ounce, 50 cents ; pound, $6 00. 



NICHOLS' GREEN CUCUMBER. 



An exceedingly productive variety, of medium 

 size, always straight and well formed ; color, dark 

 green; fiesh tender, crisp, and pleasant flavor It is 

 adapted for early forcing or late sowing. As a pic 

 kle sort it will be found unequalled, and a welcome 

 addition to the choice table sorts. Price, per packet, 

 5 events; ounce, 15 cents; pound, $1. 50. 



EDMAND'S BLOOD TURNIP BEET. 



. This beet is the handsom- 

 est, most uniform in size and 

 shape, and has proved with 

 me to be decidedly the. best 

 for general use. The flesh 

 is very deep blood red in color, 

 and exceedingly sweet and 



tender in quality, very round and smooth in shape, of good marketable 

 size, not growing over large and coarse as many sorts of the turnip 

 beet are apt to do where they have plenty of room. This character- 

 istic, together with the fact that the top grows very small, and having 

 but a single tap root, allows their being grown very near together. 

 From my trials with this beet I am very much pleased with it, and for a 

 second early market variety, or for use on. the table,! would recom- 

 mend this sort as being the best adapted for these purposes. ■ ~? 

 Price: packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; pound, $1.00. 



GUERANDE HALF-LONG STUMP-ROOTED CARROT 



, Intermediate as to length between the Scarlet 

 Horn and the Short Horn. It is thicker at the 

 neck than the latter, and, as will be seen by the en- 

 graving, carries its thickness well down towards the 

 bottom. It has been known to yield at the rate of 

 thirty-five tons the acre. Every carrot can be easily 

 pulled by hand ; no ploughing or digging is neces- 

 sary. In the experimental grounds of the New 

 York Agricultural College, of 25 varieties tested* it 

 yielded more than double the average weight of all 

 the other kinds. Those who' grew it last season 

 about Dan vers, Mass., report.it an immense crop- 

 per. Our seed is imported direct from the origina- 

 tor. Price, per packet, 5 cents, ounce,, 20 cents ; 

 pound, $1.25.
