CABBAGE 
(German, Kohl; French, Chou; Spanish, Berza) 
The requisites for complete success with Cabbage are: First, good seed. (In this crop the quality of the seed 
used is of the greatest importance; no satisfactory results can possibly be obtained when poor seed is planted.) Second, 
rich, well-prepared ground. (A heavy, moist and rich loam is most suitable.) Third, frequent and thorough culti¬ 
vation. The ground should be highly manured and worked deep. Our Cabbage Seeds are American-grown, and 
we are certain that better seed could not be obtained, as they are grown from specially selected seed stock, and are 
not simply strains of other varieties, but true and distinct varieties. One ounce of seed to 100 yards of row. 
Early Jersey Wakefield 
COPENHAGEN MARKET —Very fine, nearly as 
early as Jersey Wakefield; stem short, heads large, 
round and solid, with few outer leaves of an upright 
growth. Our stock of this popular variety is very early 
uniform and dependable. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; X lb. 
50c; lb. $1.75. 
ALL SEASONS —American grown. This forms a 
fine large head, of superior quality, nearly as early as 
the Early Summer. Suitable for planting at any season. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; K lb. 60c; lb. $2.00. 
EARLY FLAT DUTCH —Very compact grower, with 
a medium-size, roundish, flat head, which is always 
solid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; X lb. 60c; lb. $2.00. 
SUCCESSION —Very popular with the market gar¬ 
dener, producing enormous, uniform heads, and matures 
a few days later than Early Summer. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 
X lb. 60c; lb. $2.00. 
Premium Late Flat Dutch 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD —The earliest and 
surest heading of first early Cabbage. Most gardeners 
depend upon it for the bulk of their extra early crop. Its 
exceeding hardiness, not only to resist cold, but other 
unfavorable conditions, insures the greatest likelihood of 
profitable and satisfactory results. Our stock is grown 
and selected with the greatest care; there is none better 
and there are few as good. Plant compact, with few 
outer leaves, which are smooth and thick. Heads of 
medium size, solid, uniformly pointed and of excellent 
quality. The habit of growth and hardiness make it most 
desirable for early planting. Pkts. 5c and 10c; oz. 15c; 
X lb. 60c; lb. $2.00. 
W. D. Co.’s GOLDEN ACRE —This variety is of 
recent introduction, extremely early flat head. It ma¬ 
tures much earlier than Copenhagen Market and heads 
much larger and more compact. Does not crack as 
easily. Few outer leaves, allowing closer planting. 
Matures in 82 days, making very solid heads, has done 
splendidly under dry weather conditions. Our strains 
of this variety are very uniform and can highly recom¬ 
mend it to the market gardeners. Pkt. 10c ; oz. 25c; 
X lb. 75c; lb. $2.50. 
CHARLESTON, or Large Wakefield —A strain in 
which the plant is larger and a little later than Early 
Jersey Wakefield, the head being fully as solid, but less 
pointed and considerably larger. Leaves rather large, 
smooth and comparatively thick. Exceedingly hardy, 
and on account of its earliness and size of head, with 
market gardeners and shippers it is deservedly a very 
popular sort to follow Jersey Wakefield. The seed we 
offer can be depended on to produce uniformly fine, 
marketable heads. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; X lb. 60c; lb. 
$2.00. 
ALL HEAD —The largest of the early Cabbages, 
being roundish flat and very solid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 
X lb. 60c; lb. $2.00. 
PERFECTION DRUMHEAD SAVOY —This is with¬ 
out a doubt the finest strain of the savoys on the market. 
No other winter cabbage can compare with it in flavor, 
particularly 
after it has 
been touched 
by frost when 
it is equal to 
caulifl ower. 
Large heads. 
Leaves ex¬ 
tremely 
curled. 
Beautifully 
blanched. 
Do not plant 
the seed till 
June or early 
part of July 
if you wish 
to have good 
hard heads 
as it will not 
head up hard 
during very 
hot weather. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 
25c; X lb. 
75c; lb. $2.50 
PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH —This variety of late 
Cabbage is a standard in all sections for Winter use. It 
makes a large, solid head, which keeps long without 
bursting, and is adapted to a more varied climate than 
probably any other variety. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; X lb. 
60c; lb. $2.00. 
RED ROCK —While late in maturing, this is the 
largest heading of all deep red varieties. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
25c; X lb. 75c. 
COLLARDS 
GEORGIA or SOUTHERN —Called the Cabbage Col- 
lard on account of its close bunching growth. The plant 
produces center leaves generally perfectly white, though 
sometimes dashed with pink. It is a very delicate vege¬ 
table and of the finest quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 
X lb. 20c; lb. 50c.
