Early Cabbage 
Gurney’s Early Ball Head Cabbage—In 
offering this new early summer Ballhead cabbage 
we know that we are presenting the cabbage¬ 
growing public with a winner and a money¬ 
maker and a great deal of satisfaction. This 
cabbage closely resembles the Danish Ballhead. 
The heads are perfectly round, good size and 
mature as early as Wakefield. We recommend 
this sort especially to market gardeners and for 
the home garden for both early and late. We feel 
sure it will take the place of nearly all of the sum¬ 
mer varieties, producing a greater per cent of 
solid heads than any of them, and on account of 
the small amount of foliage and the compact 
form in which it grows, can be planted much 
closer than other varieties. We are offering this, 
feeling sure that it is one of the best articles in 
the vegetable line we have offered. Pkt., 8c; 
oz., 25c; 'A lb., 65c; 1 lb., $1.85. 
Earliest of All Cabbage—This is a strictly 
new variety of Danish production, maturing 
medium sized, extra solid round heads and a 
larger percentage per hundred plants than any 
other variety, which makes it the most valuable 
for market gardeners and home consumption. 
Pkt., 7c; oz., 20c; 14 lb., 60c; lb., $1.75. 
Copenhagen Market—The best Early 
round-headed sort on the market. The heads 
are very solid averaging about 8 pounds. It is 
short stemmed, the heads growing very close 
to the ground. Matures with Charleston Wake¬ 
field and will give a heavier crop per acre. Our 
stock of this is very fine. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 
!4 lb., .55c; 1 lb., $1.65; 5 lbs., $6.25. 
Early Jersey Wakefield—One of the best of 
the conical types. Very early and makes medium 
sized, very solid heads fine flavored and tender. 
Has few outside leaves. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; !4 
lb., .55c; 1 lb., $1.45. 
Gurney’s Golden Acre—This is a new, early, 
round-lieaded cabbage which closely resembles 
Copenhagen Market in type. .5s its name implies 
it is a money-maker. It is 8 to 10 days earlier 
than Copenhagen Market, but is smaller and can 
be planted closer. Because of its earliness and 
fine quality it commands a higher price than any 
round-lieaded cabbage. Pkt., 8c; oz., 25c; 
A lb., 65c; lb., $1.85. 
Cabbage—Second Early and 
Summer Varieties 
Early Flat Dutch—A very good variety for 
second early use. Makes good sized flat heads 
and is very tender and of fine grain. It is similar 
to All Head. Has few outside leaves. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 20c; !4 1 lb., 55c; Ib., $1.45. 
All Head Early —Without doubt this cabbage 
is unexcelled as an Early Flat Dutch or summer 
variety. It makes very uniform, large, deep, 
flat heads and is a very sure header. With¬ 
stands heat and dry weather very well. The 
grain of this variety is very fine. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 20c; >A 1 lb., 55c; lb., $1.45. 
Late Varieties 
Danish Ballhead, Short Stemmed—One of 
the best varieties for general crop. It has been 
selected for more than fifty years by the Dan¬ 
ish gardeners, who grow it almost exclusively 
for Winter Cabbage and annually export large 
quantities. The heads are not as large as late 
Dutch Flats, but harder and more solid, fine 
grained and good keepers. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 
1/4 lb., 55c; 1 lb., $1.65; 5 lbs., $6.25. 
Mammoth Rock Red—This is by far the 
best, largest and surest heading red cabbage 
ever introduced. The plant is large, with nu¬ 
merous spreading leaves. The head is large, 
round, very solid and deep red color. Pkt., 7c; 
oz., 25c; !4 lb., 65c; 1 lb., $1.85. 
Premium Late Flat Dutch—As a variety for 
winter market it has no superior, and is more 
extensively grown than any other. Heads large, 
bluish green, round, solid, broad and flat on 
top, and often tinted with reddish brown after 
being touched with frost; they open white and 
crisp, are tender and well flavored. It is a 
fall and winter variety, and one of the very- 
best to keep. Decidedly the best late variety 
for cultivation in our state. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 
A. lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.35; 5 lbs., .$6.00.
