Cabbage and 
Celery 
A great specialty of our business has for years been the production and sale of 
Cabbage, Celery and other Vegetable Plants, and we shall continue to keep them in 
large supply. By our system of packing we box and ship them for long distances by 
express, and market gardeners and planters will often find it cheaper to purchase their 
supplj' from us than to undertake t'j grow them in small quantities. At the very low 
rates at which we furnish healthy, stocky plants a smart man can in almost any locality 
make a handsome profit by collecting orders and sending them to us. W 3 invite corres¬ 
pondence fi\m any who may feel inclined to do this. 
Cabbage irisnts. 
These we sow by the acre and actually have‘’millions for defense/' The seeds are 
sown in the open ground in did'Is far enough apart so that they grow short, stocky, and 
with an abundance of fine fibrous roots Toe first sowings are rea .y for transplanting 
about June 1st and subsequent plantings are made at intervals so that we have plants 
ready for setting at all times "util August. 
Varieties. For earliest use and also for very late plantings we sow and recommend 
the Winnigstadt. This produces very hard pointed heads and may be set 3 by l-£ feet, 
when nearly 10 ()00 plants may be set on an acre. It is vei y sure to head even on poor 
or sandy soil and is not injured by the cabbage worms. 
Fottler's Drumhead. This is in season about half way between the Winnigstadt and 
Late Flat Dutch. It produces very large, flat, solid, white heads on a short stump, and 
for all purposes is becoming one of the most popular varieties. The demand for it is rap¬ 
idly increasing as it becomes better known. We shall sow more of it than any other va¬ 
riety and can fill orders by the hundred thousand if wanted.
