Stone Mason. 
Stone Mason. 
Characterized for its sweet- 
ness and delicacy of flavor, 
and for its reliability for 
forming a large head. Very 
hardy, and will endure the 
cold of extreme Northern 
climates. 
Large Late Diumhead. 
Large Late Drumhead. 
A favorite winter var- 
iety with the market 
gardener. It bears extra 
large solid heads, and 
is a little later than the 
Flat Dutch. 
Improved Premium Late Flat Dutch. This is 
the b.st strain of this standard variety and more largely 
grown than any other for market and long-keeping 
quality. Short stem and large solid flat heads. 
Red Dutch. Used almost 
exclusively for pickling. It is 
one of the hardiest of all Cab. 
bages; will keep later in the 
season than any of them. 
Slow to mature, however, 
and requires a richer soil for 
its perfect development. 
Henderson’s Early Sum- 
mer Heads about ten days 
later than the Jersey Wake- 
field. It may be classed as Ked Dutch, 
the best large early Cabbie. In weight it is equal to 
most of the late varieties, its short outer leaves enable it 
to be planted as close as the Jersey Wakefield. 
Early Wlnningstadt. A second early variety, 
coming in about three weeks later than the early vari- 
eties, it is an excellent sort, as it beads uniformly and is 
of large size, often weighing 20 lbs.; heads pyramidal, 
the outer leaves spiral and spreading, which necessitates 
planting it wider than the early sorts. One of the 
best for early shipments. 
Mammoth Marblehead. One of 
the latest and largest of the Cabbage 
tribe. Solid, tender and free headed. 
Drumhead Savoy. The Savoy 
Cabbages are the finest flavor of all; 
finely crimped and netted and yet 
makes a compact, solid head. Dark 
green. 
Mammoth 
Marblehead. 
Early Jersey 
Wakefield. The 
best early Cabbage in 
cultivation. It pos- 
sesses the merit of 
size of head, 
outside foliage, 
and uniformity in 
producing a crop. 
All Seasons. Sim- 
ilar in form to the 
Stone Mason; solid, 
compact; claimed to 
be as early and larger 
than the Henderson’s 
Summer ; oompara- 
“True” Jersey Early Wakefield, lively new; wherever 
tried has given surprising satisfaction. 
Excelsior Flat Dutch. This is a California variety 
and we consider it one of the best late sorts grown. The 
heads are large and compact, of a light green foliage. 
Valuable as a Winter Cabbage, also for fall use by sow- 
ing early. 
Filderkraut resembles the well known Winningstadt, 
but is larger, more pointed, and heads up with fewer out- 
side leaves. Largely grown for making kraut. 
Fottler’s Improved Brunswick. A second early 
and late variety grown originally by the Boston garden- 
ers, but which is now cultivated quite generally all over 
the country. 
Early Dwarf Ulm Savoy. This is earlier and 
dwarfer than the Drumhead, and of very find flavor. 
Cauliflower. 
CuLTCEB. Cauliflower ought to receive a similar treatment to Cabbage, except that it requires an extra rich soil, 
an occasional application of liquid manure and frequent watering, especially when heading. Early sorts are mostly 
sown in hot beds, and transplanted before setting out in open ground, and finally transplanted in rich deeply worked 
soil, two feet by fifteen inches apart. Late sorts are sown and cultivated like late Cabbage. When beading tie th« 
top leaves together to protect from expose to the sun. 
Early Dwarf Erfurt. Extra Early Dwarf, small 
leaf, solid, pure white heads, best quality. 
Early Snowball. The earliest and best heading 
variety cultivated; dwarf habit and short outer leaves. 
(See among specials.) 
Early Paris. A popular French variety. White and 
sure to head, and standard sort for early or late crop. 
Late Asiatic. Large, white and compact, but later 
than the preceding. 
Large White French. A superior late sort of fine 
quality, with short stem and large well-formed heads. 
Large Late Algiers. New, and much prized for 
late sort. 
Veitch’s Autumn Giant. This is one of the best 
late varieties grown. Bobust habit, large heads, com- 
pact and thoroughly protected by leaves.
