Photographs don’t lie. 
They show exactly what is 
there. That’s one reason 
why we use nearly this en- 
tire page to reproduce this 
photograph of Mr. New 
Noakes, of Nueces County, 
Texas, and 6 heads of 
“Hastings’ Centennial Flat 
Dutch C a b b a g e.” Mr. 
Noakes had this photograph 
taken and sent it to us and 
we are reproducing it for 
your benefit, showing you 
what our cahbage seed w’ill 
do. 
There are two things for 
you to keep in mind. First, 
these are not specially 
selected heads, but taken 
from a load just as they 
were cut in the field and 
brought to town. Second, 
the seed which Mr. Noakes 
bought and grew these 
heads from is exactly the 
same quality that we send 
you when you order from 
us. We have no favorites 
among our customers in 
seed quality. Every one 
gets the same quality and 
that quality is the best that 
can be grown. The high 
quality of our cabbage seed 
as shown in this illustration 
is the real reason why more 
than 50,000 acres of cab- 
bage are planted every year 
from Hastings’ Cabbage 
Seed. 
This illustration shows 
just what the combination 
of right seed, right man 
and good land make, but if 
the seed is not right, the 
man and land don’t count 
for much in the result. The 
seed has got to be right 
for you to make a success. 
Our Right Seed 
Cabbage is the most im- 
portant of the Southern 
vegetable crops. It’s a 
.staudar-d- crop on every 
Southern truck farm ; it 
finds an important place in 
every family garden. Yet 
there is no crop grown that 
depends more for its suc- 
cess on the quality of the 
seed planted. A packet of 
Hastings’ Cabbage Seed 
will easily make from 50 to 
75 more good solid heads 
than a packet of seed from 
the commission boxes at 
the store. It is not a ques- 
tion of having “good luck” 
wdth your cabbage. It’s a 
question of starting your 
cabbage cropwith right 
seed. 
Hastings’ Cabbage Seed 
never fails to make a good, 
solid, s a 1 a b 1 e or eatable 
head of cabbage to every 
plant when treated right. 
Why You Failed 
We believe that there is 
hardly a person who reads 
this catalogue that' has not 
made a failure with cab- 
bage (and a good many 
other things as well) in the 
past, when they depended 
on the cheap cabbage seed 
from merchants and. drug 
stores. Why is it? Simply 
because that seed has not 
been grown right. It’s
