EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
*EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD.— This cab¬ 
bage has been for many years the leading early cab¬ 
bage of America. The main difficulty has been to get 
a pefectly satisfactory and reliable strain of seed. 
Those that I am offering are from one of the best 
growers in Long Island, which has been giving ex¬ 
cellent satisfaction. This variety has few out-side 
leaves, and in compactness and regularity cannot 
be excelled. The thick stout leaves and compact 
habit makes it the best variety for early setting. It 
frequently matures inside of one hundred days from 
sowing. The seed of the Early Jersey Wakefield, ow¬ 
ing to its compact habit of growth can be planted 
closer than most varieties. Pkt. 5c. ; oz. 15c. ; 1-4 
lb. 50c. ; lb. $1.40. 
*ALL SEASONS. — As early as Drumhead cab¬ 
bage, yielding heads of the largest size, very desirable 
for the early spring, summer or fall use. It is a great 
favorite with many growers. Pkt. 5c. ; oz. 15c.; 1-4 
lb. 50c. ; lb. $1.50. 
* DANISH B ALLHEAD.— Our stock of this 
famous and popular cabbage is of the best imported. 
The Danish Ballhead was introduced from Denmark 
over twentv-five years ago. Our seed of this variety 
is of the best. It is highly esteemed for winter use 
because of its great solidity and excellent keeping 
qualities. The heads are more solid than those of 
any other late variety grown, and will usually weigh 
about one-fourth more than the same measure of any 
other variety. By referring to your market conditions 
you will almost always see the Danish Ballhead offered 
at a premium over all other kinds. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 15c.; 
1-4 lb. 50c. ; lb. $1.75. 
CHARLESTON WAKE HELD 
* CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD.— A large and 
very distinct type of the Jersey Wakefield. It re¬ 
quires rather more time to reach maturity, but yields 
fully twice the crop of the original Wakefield, and is 
about ten days later. It is a strain which cannot pro¬ 
fitably be overlooked by any gardener whether he is 
growing cabbage for his local market or to ship. 
All the market gardeners near the big Eastern cities 
plant Charleston Wakefield for second early, and there 
is no better. Its heads are somewhat less pointed 
than the extra early strain. Charleston Wakefield is 
a good keeper and may be planted as a second crop 
to mature in the fall for autumn and winter use. It 
is highly recommended as one of the best all-around 
varieties, and is a general favorite with all who have 
grown it. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 15c.; 1-4 lb. 50c.; lb. $1.40. 
LARGE LATE DRUMHEAD- An excellent 
winter variety, largely planted by growers who make a 
specialty of shipping cabbage, as it stands transporta¬ 
tion well. Heads grow to be very large in size, and 
heavy weight, solid and good quality. Can be planted 
close in the field as it has but few loose leaves. Pkt. 
5c.; oz. 15c.; 1-4 lb. 50c. ; lb. $1.50. 
AUTUMN KING OR WORLD BEATER.— 
The plants are oi extra strong growth and require 
a longer season than do the earlier and smaller va¬ 
rieties. Heads extra large and solid, well suited for 
fall and winter use. Seed should be sown in this 
latitude about the first of June, and if planted in time 
will produce fine crop. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 15c.; 1-4 lb. 50c.; 
lb. $1.50. 
PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH 
* PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH.-A standard late 
variety that has been a favorite for many years, and 
one of the best for late planting. With good culture on 
moist rich ground, it is not unusual for 95 in every 100 
plants to make a good hard head. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 15c.; 
1-4 lb. 50c.; lb. $1.40. 
SPECIAL. —When wanting 5 to 10 lbs. or more of
