HASTINGS’ GENUINE SUREHEAD 
We have sold tens of thousands of pounds of seed of this vari- 
ety during the past thirteen years and it is today the most 
popular variety for main crop that we catalogue. This special 
scram o^ Surehead of ours never fails to make tine, large, solid 
heads with few outer leaves, as shown in our illustration. Sure- 
heiid is the result of a cross between the Early Flat Dutch and 
a hardy Drumhead variety and has the good points of both 
combined. A very strong, vigorous grower, maturing for main 
crop and is very uniform in size, shape and color. Good for 
spring planting everywhere in the South and one of the best for 
late summer planting in the Central South and fall planting in 
the lower South for maturing in winter and fall. Is hardy, a 
splendid keeper and good shipper. Invaluable for home garden 
,aud one of the best for market use. No Southern garden should 
be without some of our Surehead cabbage this spring. Packet

“No Garden Seed Like Hastings. 
Gentlemen : — I have ordered seed from you both in the spring 
and fall and have never been better pleased in my life with 
garden seed. Your turnip seed is especially good. I had last 
fall Vo pound of your “White Globe and Improved American 
Rutabaga” and raised specimens of each kind weighing from 
414 to 714 pounds. My wife says : “There is no garden seed like 
Hastings.” C. L. M. WRIGHT, Burk Place, La. 
Our Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants 
To the market gardener who grows cabbage, earliness of the crop is a prime necessity if largest profits are to be 
made. 
Along the Carolina coast are a number of welF protected islands that never feel the cold spells of winter as we do 
here in the Central South. In that locality the cabbage seed is sown in the fall and makes a slow but vigorous, hardy 
growth all during the winter in the open ground and can be taken from there and planted anywhere in the Central 
South between February 1st and March 15th with perfect safety, a thing that is impossible with hot bed or green- 
house grown cabbage plants. 
The use of these open air, practically frost-proof plants often enables the gardener to put full grown heads of cab- 
bage into market two to three weeks^ ahead and naturally he gets the early season^ top cf the market price for his crop. 
Now just a word about the appearance of these open air grown plants for those who have never used them. You 
may be disappointed in the looks of the plants when you receive them. Their outdoor winter growth, standing through 
frosts and light freezes discolors them and gives them a stunted look. Never mind their looks. Set them out and 
therr luxuriant growth as soon as the weather warms up will make you forget all about how they looked. 
. These plants are all grown from the best of American grown seed. They are packed in light weight but strong 
wooden crates for express shipment. They can be sent safely to any part of the South during winter and spring 
months. The Express Company gives a special low rate on these cabbage plants, so you need not be afraid of high 
express rates. - 
All cabbage plant shipments are made from the growing station in South Carolina by express.
