Sure Crop, or Shipper’s 
Prize Cabbage — This is our 
prize Cabbage and is without a rival. 
The experience of all market gardeners 
and truckers who have have tested goes 
to coroborate our statement that it is the 
best and most profitable variety ever of¬ 
fered for planting South. Reports have 
reached us from Virginia, Maryland, Del¬ 
aware, South and North Carolina, as well 
as Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, 
and Texas, all praising it in the highest 
terms. It is the earliest and surest 
large, fiat, round Cabbage on record 
and its quality is excellent, being tender, 
crisp and solid. Where it is rightly cared 
for no seed will fail to head unless de¬ 
stroyed by the insects or cut-worm. The 
cut-worm will not, however, disturb it as 
much as other Cabbage.

LIBERAL PLANTING of this valua¬ 
ble strain we make the following of¬

Manager last season ; we control the stock and none

earlier than our select strain of Brunswick though not quite

about all the same size. It is more hardy than our Bruns¬ 
wick and stands the heat and cold better. This is a valua¬

mend it highly. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 40 cents;
