FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS 
No Delivery Beyond the Third Zone (300 Miles). 
These plants are extremely hardy, and produce the earliest cabbage, 
fully three or four weeks ahead of any other plants. They are grown 
in Texas, during the winter, when the weather is often freezing, endur¬ 
ing cold rains and sleet. They can be set out as soon as the ground 
can be worked and are not injured by shipping or transplanting, as they 
make strong growth. They are cheap, 
profitable and sure to grow.

of 100 of a kind only, which cannot be 
divided. Prices include postage.
