HASTINGS’ “BIG 5” CABBAGE COLLECTION 
Hastings’ Hong Island (targe) Wakefield Cabbage 
HASTINGS’ LONG ISLAND WAKEFIELD CABBAGE 
Hastings’ New Perfection Cabbage 
We have been carrying this “Big 5” Cabbage 
Collection for a great many years. Sometimes 
we think we ought to drop it because we have 
been selling it so long, but customers who 
bought it sixteen years ago continue to buy it, 
together with hundreds and thousands of new 
ones. So long as the “Big 5” continues to grow 
in popularity we shall keep on selling it. The 
sale of this collection keeps up and grows just 
because it gives the largest value that the seed 
buyer can get in cabbage seed for 25 cents. It 
gives an all season's succession in cabbage for 
every family in the South. It’s popular with all 
home and market gardeners; and gives greater 
returns in quantity and quality of cabbage 
than you can get from any other house in the 
country. Every seed in this collection is “Pre¬ 
mier Brand” quality. You make no mistake 
when you plant it. Since we first introduced 
this cabbage collection we added another splen¬ 
did variety, so each purchaser gets five pack¬ 
ages, five varieties, for the 25c. 
Our “Big 5” now consists of one full size 
packet each of 5 of our best varieties for the 
South: Hastings’ Sure Crop, Hastings’ Long 
Island Wakefield, Hastings’ Florida Drumhead, 
Hastings’ Centennial Flat Dutch, and Hastings’ 
Genuine Surehead. No better cabbage combi¬ 
nation than this collection can be made. By 
buying it in this collection you can get for 25 
cents what would cost you 45 cents at full cata¬ 
logue price. You can get more “crop” out of 
25 cents invested in the “Big 5” than anything 
you can get from any other seed house.

Hastings’ New Perfection 
Cabbage (No. 124) 
This new cabbage of 
ours comes as near per¬ 
fection for the South for late summer 
. or fall planting as any we have ever 
seen. An absolutely new variety originating with one of our growers 
and for a second early or main crop cabbage it has no equal. Heads 
the firmest and most solid we have ever seen, surpassing even Danish 
Ball Head in that respect. Heads weigh 5 to 8 pounds; in maturing 
comes in about the same time as Surehead. A first-class variety for 
either home use, market or shipment and entirely adapted to late 
summer and fall planting anywhere in the Lower South or Florida. 
It will stand greater extremes of heat and cold than any other va¬ 
riety. Its remarkable hardiness and vigor make it the very safest 
cabbage that you can plant. Packet, 10 cents; Ms ounce, 20 cents; 
ounce, 35 cents; % pound, 90 cents; pound, $3.00; postpaid. 
Selected Early Jersey Wakefield (No. 106) 
Almost every one knows the popular Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage. 
Comparatively few know the superiority of our strain of this variety. 
It’s grown with the greatest care, and a well cultivated crop shows 
the greatest regularity of size, shape and solidity. If you are grow¬ 
ing the Early Wakefield you cannot afford to be without our extra 
select seed. It pays to use it. Premier Brand Seed. Packet, 5 cents; 
% ounce, 15 cents; ounce, 25 cents; % pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.25. 
fNn The largest, earliest, surest heading of any of the large Wakefield strains. Ear- 
'* '* Her, larger, and finer bred than any of the strains of Charleston Wakefield. One 
and a half to two pounds heavier, firmer, better shape and more solid than the Early Jersey 
Wakefield. In good soil and with favorable weather conditions it is often ready for use in 50 
days from transplanting. It is a gem for those desiring a first-class pointed cabbage, and 
makes a splendid first early cabbage for family use. Premier Brand Seed. Packet, 10 cents; 
Ms ounce, 15 cents; ounce, 25 cents; % pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.25. 
Hastings’ Florida Drumhead (No. 115) S^fnMn^thlfVeclu^ms 6 
superb Drumhead variety is called Florida Drumhead that it is only adapted to the State of 
Florida. We have yet to find any part of any Southern State where this variety does not grow 
to perfection. Earliest and best of all the Drumhead varieties for the South. It has stood 
the test of twenty-five years’ planting in the South, and is always a favorite for either mar¬ 
ket, shipping or home use. Resists both heat and cold. Short stemmed, medium early. 
Grows compactly and leaves turn in, as shown in the illustration. Large, solid, and well 
flattened on top. Premier Brand Seed. Packet, 10 cents; M-js ounce, 15 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 
% pound, 65 cents; pound, $2.00; postpaid.

Perfection A Sight Worth While 
“I have never seen such fine cabbage as I have now maturing 
from your New Perfection. The real estate men bring their cus¬ 
tomers around to see it as a sample of what can be grown here.”
