Cabbage and Celery 
A great specialty of our business has for years be$n the production and sale of Cab¬ 
bage, 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 r 
and market gardeners and planters will often find it cheaper to purchase their supply 
from us than to undertake to 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. We invite correspond¬ 
ence from any who may feel inclined to do this. 
Cabbage Plants. 
These we sow by the acre and actually have “millions for defense.” The seeds are sown 
in the open ground in drills far enough apart so that they grow short, stocky, and with 
an abundance of fine fibrous roots. The first sowings are ready for transplanting about 
June 1st and subsequent plantings are made at intervals so that we have plants ready 
for setting at all times until 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 < by 1£ feet, 
when nearly 10.000 plants may be set on an acre. It is very sure to head even on poor 
or sandy soil and is not injured by the cabbage worms. 
Fattier \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 popnlar 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. 
Premium Flat Dutch. Better known perhaps and more extensively grown than any- 
other variety. For winter use the plants are set from June 20th to July 20th, though if 
to be set here later than Jnly 4th, I should prefer setting an earlier variety. 
Prices. By mail, per hundred, 40 cents. By express, 1000, $2.00. 5000 or over at
