Cauliflower 
We draw particular attention to the extra quality] of 
our Cauliflower Seed, and more especially to Ewing's 
Selected Dwarf Early Erfurt and Ewing's Extra Earliest 
Queen of the Danes Erfurt. 
Ewing's Selected Dwarf Early Erfurt 
EWING'S SELECTED DWARF EARLY ERFURT— Very 
early; pure white, large flower. Forces well and is also the 
favorite for outdoor culture. We have obtained oiu: sup- 
Cabbage 
One ounce of seed will produce about 1500 plants. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
BAMBERG EARLIEST— This new Cabbage is earliest of all. 
It forms large and imcommonly firm heads of a light green 
color, which, when cooked, are tender and of good flavor. 
Will probably soon take the leading place among the Early 
Cabbages, pkt. 10c. ; oz. 30c. 
EXTRA EARLY EXPRESS— The earliest variety. Is of coni- 
cal shape, resembling the Etampes in form, but is from 
eight to ten days earner. Has few outside leaves, and can 
thus be planted very close. We recommend it strongly, 
lb. 81.75; i lb. 50c.; oz. 20c.; pkt. 5c. 
EARLY ETAMPES— Is one of the Oxheart type, forming a 
hard head very early. Both the Etampes and the preced- 
ing we recommend with perfect confidence either to market 
gardeners or private growers, lb. $1.75; J lb. 50c.; oz. 20c.; 
pkt. 5c. 
EARLY STANDARD or EARLY PARIS MARKET— Is also 
of the Oxheart type, but larger. Forms a saleable head 
quickly, and is a most valuable sort for market gardeners, 
lb. 81.75; i lb. .50c.; oz. 20c.; pkt. 5c. 
EARLY SPRING — This is the earliest of all flat headed Cab- 
bages. Has but few outer leaves, and the head closes in 
quickly. Stem is short and heart very small, making almost 
entire head fit for use, thus a most saleable variety for early 
marketing, lb. 81.75; 1 lb. 50c.; oz. 20c.; pkt. 5c. 
plies from the same celebrated grower for many years past, 
and we know no strain excels it for purity, compactness of 
growth or certainty of heading, oz. 82.70; i oz. $1.50; 
pkt. 25c.; i pkt. 15c.

excellent quality for an early variety, lb. $1.75; J lb. 60c.-
