HAY'S SELECTED CABBAGE SEED.— CONTINUED. LATE SORTS. 
MAMlflOTH MARBLEHEAD.— This is the largrest variety of the cabbafre family In 
the world. We have had headb, when stripped of ail waste leaves, that could not be got into a 
two-bushel basket, having a diameter two inches greater. Our patrons generallj' succeed in 
f [rowing the Mammoth from our seed to tVe weight of thirty and forty pounds, anti in some 
nstances over ninety pounds. It is the best of all varieties to raise for winter feed for 
poultry. We have caremliy selected seed of the best qualitj' and know that it is certain to give 
splendid results. It is not to be compared with our Hundred Weight in quality, the leaves bein£; 
coarse and rough. Pkt, 5c. oz. 15c, % lb- 40o, lb. 8S1-50. 
Moravia, la. — W e raised your Early Surprise Cabbage last year, in the dry region of Western 
Nebraska, that weighed 25 pounds per head. MRS. J. F. IRWIN 
MAMMOTH BED ROCK. The Leading: Bed Variety.— Without doubt the finest red 
cabbage that can be grown. For those who desire a red variety we believe this is certain to 
please them as it is of a much better quality than the majority of this class and a most reliable 
heading cabbage. Under ordinary conditions the heads will average about 12 pounds 
each and are exceedingly solid. The true stock of selected Mammoth Ketl Rock has beea 
quite scarce the past few seasons, but all who order direct from us may rest assured they wiH 
receire the true strain of this splendid cabbage. Pkt. 10c, oz. SOc, % lb. 60c, lb. $2.00.

,1 i d d 1 e and 
t o u t h e r n

Stonemason Drumhead. —By 
aany gardeners this is considered 
ne of the most reliable varieties for 
fall and winter use. The plants are 
ledium size with only a very modcr- 
tc numtier of leaves. Stem medium 
ength, heads of good size, round and 
iligiitly flattened, very solid, crisp, 
ender, and entirely free from the 
itrong flavdr found in many late 
iorts. It is one of the few cabbages 
hat is certain to please both the 
imatenr and market gardener. We 
aave taken great care in selecting 
heads for seed, and our stock, we believe, is nnequaled 
ov any other firm. In the vicinity of Boston itis grown 
.liniost eiclusivelv by market gardeners for winter use. 
Pkt. 5o. oz. 15o, \ilb. 40c, lb. $1.40. 
Mammoth Improved Savoy.— Thisis without any 
doubt the very best of all the Savoys, either for market 
or private use, as it is certain to head under almost 
any conditions. The heads are larger, more solid, and 
better shaped than any of the other varieties, and the 
ilants are of unusually vigorous, healthy habit. Its 
landsorae globular heads and fine quality have placed 
it in the front rank of this class of cabbage. Pkt. 5c. 
oz. 15o, % lb. 40c, lb. $1.40. 
Vanderffaw. — This cabbage is a splendid midsum- 
mer variety. Was introduced by Mr. Vandergaw, a 
famous Long Island market gardener. It is as sure to 
head as the Succession, and comes in about a week after 
the Early Summer, making much larger heads than that well- 
known variety, uniform in size and color, solid, tender, and of 
the finest quality. It is one of the best varieties we know of 
for general cultivation. Pkt. 5c,oz. 15c,i4'lb. 40c,'lb. $1.50. 
Short Stem Drumhead.— This variety has in a great 
tnany instances taken the place of all other sorts grown lor 
late use. It is far ahead of the old Late Drumhead CabbaK, 
ripening much earlier, and has largerand moresolid heads. If 
Sou want a fine crop of big cabbages you will find our 
hort Stem Drumhead just the thing. Try it. Pkt. 5o, 
oz. 15c. W lb. 50c, lb. $1.50. 
BUBPEE'S ALLHEAD EABLY.— An all-the-year- 
round cabbage. We believe the best we can do is to take Mr. 
Burpee's own description of this valuable variety.' He says: 
Allhead is the earliest of all the laree early cabbage and is one- 
third larger than any other summer variety. The deep heads 
are solid and the most uniform in color, shape and size, of any 
early variety in cultivation. The heads grow so compactly 
and are so free from spreading leaves that fully one thousand 
more heads can be obtained to the acre. While it is all that 
can be desired in an early vatiety it is also valuable as a late 
"r winter sort. Seeds so wn in Julv and set about the 15th of 
•August will bring large, solid heads that n -e certain to winter 
w< ll. Pkt. lOc, oz. 20o, Vt, lb. eOo, lb. $2 DO.
