HUNDRED WEIGHT CABBAGE 
The largest 
of all the 
cabbages. 
In this variety 
we have the 
largest of all 
this class of 
vegetables, 
single spec- 
imens hav- 
i n s been 
known to 
weight over 
40 pounds 
each. It is 
certainlj' the 
truest type of 
the large late 
variety, and 
while not so 
uniform in 
shape as some 
sorts, it will 
average more 
good Bolid 
saleable heads per acre than any othfer extra large late cabbage. If you 
wish to surprise your neighbors with the largest cabbage ever raised in 
your section and take first premium at the county fair, this is the variety 
youwant. The keeping qualities are excellent and it Is therefore a 
valuable sort for gardeners growing for distant markets. Ine 
heads are round, ffiittened, very soUd and -mth few outer leaves. 
Remember our seed is American grown and certain to give 
the best results. Pkt. 15c, 2 pkts. 25c, oz. 35o, %, lb. SI.OO,

Japanese Climbing Cucumber. ^^^TJl 
climbing variety introduced from Japan. It is indeed a novelty 
and wortliy the attention of every farmer and gardener. The 
vines are strong growing and immensely productive, it being 
estimated that it will yield three times more than any other 
variety in a given space. The cueumbere are about ten inches in 
length, and o" a beautiful green color ; the flesh is firm and free from 
the bitter taste found in some varieties. It can be trained on poU-s, 
trellises fences, or in fact any place where a vine can be grown, and 
will save much valuable space in the garden. One of our cu.stomers 
who tried it last season writes: "Your Japanese Chmbing Cucum- 
ber is the wonder of our city." Another one says: "The Japanese 
Climbing Cucumber is the best variety I've ever seen and is certain- 
ly unequaled for slicing." Our seed is carefully selected. Pkt.
