HASTINGS’ GENUINE SUREHEAD CABBAGE 
^Nn I9fl^ ^ ^ thousands of pounds 
^liVi im,Vf of seed of this variety during the past six- 
teen years, and it is today the most popular variety for 
main crop that we catalogue. Our special strain of Sure- 
head never fails to make fine, large, solid heads with few 
outer leaves, as shown in our illustration. Surehead is 
the result of a cross between the Early Flat Dutch and a 
h^dy Drumhead variety and has the good points of both 
combined. A 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. It is hardy, a splendid keeper and good 
shipper. Invaluable for home garden and one of the best 
for market use. No Southern garden should be without 
some of our Surehead cabbage this spring. Packet, 10c; 
Vz ounce, 26c; ounce, 40c; % pound, $1.25; postpaid. 
Stein’s Early Flat Dutch (No. 125) 
Next to our Centennial Late Flat Dutch the most popular 
cabbage in South Texas and Gulf Coast sections for a 
market and shipping variety. This is a splendid strain 
of Flat Dutch cabbage just a little later than Early Flat 
Dutch varieties, just a little earlier than Centennial. For 
best results a trucker should divide his crop between the 
two, for it will insure a longer shipping season, the Cen- 
tennial immediately following Stein’s in maturity. Pack- 
et, 10 cents ; % ounce, 25 cents ; ounce, 40 cents ; ^ pound, 
$1.25; postpaid.

Pe Tsai (No. 126) 
Chinese Cabbage 
Finest in Flavor and Quality 
of all Cabbages 
Hundreds of carloads of Chinese Cabbage are 
being shipped to Eastern markets from Flori- 
da, Michigan and California, which shows that 
it has an all-year-round market in the East. 
There are several varieties of Chinese Cabbage 
and two rather distinct types. The cabbage 
from southern China has a loose, long-leaved 
form. The people want the straight short 
leaved variety, the true Pe Tsai from the 
northern districts of China. It makes a solid 
head, as shown in the illustration, with few 
outer leaves, and is the desirable type to 
plant for market oi home use. It is extremely 
productive, makes an attractively blanched 
head and is far superior and in greater de- 
mand than that previously grown for the East 
as celery cabbage. Our seed stock is the finest 
to be found in America, the best strain of 
Chinese Cabbage, the true Pe Tsai. 
One Florida grower said his field yielded 
30 tons per acre. Think of it ! Thirty tons 
in place of ten tons of Wakefield and sold at 
a higher price. 
Try some this season. Plant very early, for 
your home garden anywhere in the South. 
Packet, 10 cents ; % ounce, 20 cents ; ounce, 35 
cents; H pound. $1.00, pound, $3.50; postpaid.
