The Sew Cabbage ! 
Fottler's Improved Brunswick Cabbage is a 
great acquisition, it being earlier and lanrer sized than any 
other hard lieauiie: drumhead variety Vet o tiered to the 
public. The Boston Market Gardeners have adopted it, 
buying up all the seed they could find last season, at $3.no 
per ounce. It is about ten davs earlier than mv Stone Ma- 
son, and the head attains a diameter of from 12 to IS ineli.-s. 
It is remarkably short stemmed, very reliable for beadin_', 
and thrives finelv under ordinary cabbage cultivation. 
Give them a fair chance and hardly a plant to an acre will 
fail to mature a tine head. I have grown it for two years 
and fullv tested it. 
My seed is from the stock of Mr. Fottler, the original 
grower, and is warranted pure. Priee. sent post-paid to any 
address, £"> cents per package, or live packages for $1.00. 
For sale bv the package only this seas.. n ; next vear I shall 
have it for" sale by the pound, as I have laid iu a fine lot of 
heads, and shall grow it largely. Send for Seed Catalogue.
