is a chunky, smooth yellow Sweet Potato; 
yields heavily and for all purposes a desirable 
variety. Price of plants, same as Big Stem

ous, enormously productive, good quality 
and very early, being large enough for mar¬ 
ket at least two weeks earlier than any other 
variety that I know of. Skin white, tinted

of your neighbor plant Nancy Hall, ioo by 
mail, postpaid, $i; $2.50 per 1,000 by ex¬

Cabbage Plants 
This is one of my specialties in vegetable 
plants. I ship hundreds of thousands North for 
early setting, and I understand the parties who 
have been buying them have been highly pleased. 
The demand for my plants has increased very 
rapidly during the past few years, and I am plan¬ 
ning for a still bigger increase this year. My early 
Cabbage plants will be ready from the 1st to the 
10th of April, and we grow the three leading varie¬ 
ties, as follows: 
Early Jersey Wakefield. The best of the first 
early Cabbage in cultivation. It forms fine, solid 
heads of good size, conical in shape with few out¬ 
side leaves. The quality is of the best. I offer this 
as the earliest strain of this variety, and is sure to 
give satisfaction. 
Large Charleston Wakefield. Selected stock; 
large, solid heads of good quality. A few days later 
t hail Early Jersey Wakefield, larger in size and com¬ 
bines all the good qualities of an early, long-keeping 
sort. 
Early Summer. This is one of the best of the 
large, early flat-head varieties. It is an exceedingly 
valuable market variety, adapted for close planting, 
and will thereby give a large number of heads per 
acre. Matures after ten days after Early Jersey 
Wakefield. The heads are very compact and solid, 
and usually double the weight of the Early Jersey 
Wakefield. 
Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 
We can supply either of the above varieties, $1.25 
for 500, $2 per 1,000, 10,000 or over at $1.50 per 
1,000. I especially solicit orders for Cabbage plants 
from Northern growers. I believe that we can give 
you better plants early in the season and for less 
money than you can grow t-hem at home. 
Cauliflower 
My plants are very fine, grown from best im¬ 
ported seed of Early Snowball. Ready any time 
after April 15 at 75 cts. per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
Tomato Plants 
My Tomato plants are usually ready for the field 
from May 1 and after. The plants I offer are about 
6 inches high, well hardened and ready for open 
field planting. I offer the following varieties: 
Earliana, Chalk’s Jewel, June Pink, and Allen’s 
Best. The price is $1 per 100, $6 per 1,000 by ex¬ 
press, receiver to pay charges. 
Eggplant 
I have been very successful in growing extra- 
fine plants of this delicious vegetable, and offer the 
two best varieties, Black Beauty and New York 
Improved Spineless. Of the two I think Black 
Beauty the best. Plants ready about May 10 to 
15 and after. Price, $1 per 100, $8 per 1,000. 
Snowball Cauliflower 
Pepper Plants 
Well-grown, strong, stalky and hardened,

Grow More and Better Small Fruits 
You can have bigger and better crops if you 
will. Let my little guide called “Success with 
Small Fruits” give you some useful sugges¬ 
tions. If you are not clear about soils for 
Strawberries, preparation of the soil, time for 
planting, etc., or want to know more about 
the homeand distant market, this little guide 
is just what you want. Blackberries, Rasp¬ 
berries, Currants, Grapes, Dewberries, As¬ 
paragus, Rhubarb, etc., are so clearly de¬ 
scribed that you cannot help but get some 
useful information. This guide will be sent 
on receipt of every order for 1912.
