Hastings’ “Premier” Cabbage Seed 
It Will ALWAYS “Head Up” for You AH Right 
Every pound of every variety of 
cabbage seed sold by us Is what is 
known as “Premier Brand” seed. 
Ten years ago we began our special 
work In cabbage seed with the end 
in view to get quality In cabbage seed 
superior to that sold by any one. We 
succeeded and named our cabbage 
seed “Premier Brand” stock. It was 
first In quality then and it’s first in 
quality now. We except no seed 
house when we say that we have the 
best and most carefully grown cab¬ 
bage seed in the United States. Everj 
pound of it is striclly pure American 
grown seed. Every ounce of it is 
grown from heads that are inspected 
and passed on by the greatest cab¬ 
bage experts in this country. Every 
head passes under this inspection, 
and has to be practically perfect be¬ 
fore it is replanted to produce the 
seed for us. In a nutshell that’s why 
Hastings’ Cabbage Seed issuperlorto 
that of houses that charge often 83.00 
to Si.OO per pound. It couldn’t be 
better if we charged you $10.00 per 
pound. The truckers and home gar¬ 
deners have found out by actual ex¬ 
perience just how much better it is, 
and that’s the reason 60,000 acres ot 
cabbage were planted with Hastings’ 
Cabbage Seed in the South in 1910. 
A Single Head of Hastings* “ALL-HEAD EARLY,** Grown Near Atlanta, Ga., by a Market-Gardener, from 
Our All-Head Early 
Hastings’strain of “All-Head Early*’ is the finest 
in existence for a medium-sized, early, flat cab¬ 
bage. See the picture (on this page), reproduced 
from a photograph of a single head of “All-Head 
Early” grown by one of our market-gardeners 
near Atlanta. We think you will agree with us 
that it’s a cabbage that’s hard to beat. It’s an 
extra early flat head variety. It’s a sure header 
with half a chance: well named “All-Head,” as 
it has few outer leaves. One week earlier than 
the famous old Early Summer. You will be 
pleased with it. Premier Brand Seed, Pkt., 6c.; 
oz., 15c.; oz., 25c.; 60c.; lb., 82.00. 
Hastings’ Sure Crop 
This is the earliest of all our large, round, flat 
varieties. We have sold it for the last nineteen 
years in every State in the South, and Is planted 
every year by more people than any other cab¬ 
bage, with the possible exception of Surehead. 
It is adapted for both spring and fall planting; 
for shipments, near-by markets and home use. 
On good soil and with proper cultivation it 
makes heads weighing from 8 to 12 pounds, very 
firm and solid, uniform in shape and size, well 
flattened on top. Quality is excellent, being 
crisp and tender, and when rightly cultivated 
scarcely a plant will fall to form a good, market¬ 
able head. Color a dark green, holding up well 
after being cut. It is well adapted for spring 
planting in all the South except Florida, where 
fall planting only is advisable. It is a first-class 
variety for July and August planting In the 
lower half of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and 
Louisiana for maturing in late fall and early 
winter, as well as for August, September and 
October planting in Florida and Texas.
