own raising from carefully selected heads, and is at 
least equal to any other strain of this popular vari¬ 
ety. 
Early Drumhead.—Similar in form and char¬ 
acter to the large late Drumhead, but earlier. 
Sown at the same time, it will precede it by at 
least four weeks. 
Large Drumhead.—The Drumhead Cabbage 
is a large fall or winter variety, with a broad, flat 
or round head, short stump, tender and good fla¬ 
vored, and an excellent keeper ; grown extensively 
for shipping purposes. 
D. M. Ferry & Co’s Premium Drumhead.— 
We recommend this sort to market gardeners and 
growers, for shipping purposes. In good, rich soil, 
and with a favorable season, the heads will grow to 
enormous size ; very compact and solid, and of ex¬ 
cellent flavor. 
Marblehead Mammoth Drumhead. — The 
Early Schweinfurt. 
forms very hard, oblong heads, round at the top, and, 
when pure, of a dark red, or purple color. 
Fine Blood Red.—Of remarkably deep, blood-red 
color, and a great favorite with the Germans. It is very 
true and constant. 
Stone Mason Marblehead.—Characterized for its 
sweetness and delicacy of flavor, and for its reliability 
for forming a large head. Very hardy, and will endure 
the cold of extreme northern climates. 
Quintal Drumhead. 
largest cabbage known, weighing in some instances over 
fifty pounds. Under good cultivation, acres have been 
grown where the heads would average thirty lbs. each. 
Quintal Drumhead. -An exceedingly large variety, 
of French origin. Heads quite flat on the top, with few 
| side leaves ; solid, firm, hard, and of good flavor. 
D. M. Ferry & Co's Premium Flat Dutch- 
Late Flat Dutch. — A low-growing variety; heads 
large, bluish-green, round, solid, broad and flat on the 
top, and often tinted with red and brown. An excellent 
fail and winter variety, and a good keeper. 
Early Dwarf Ulm Savoy. 
Green Glazed.—A standard late variety in the South, 
as it is not affected by the heat. Heads large but rather 
loose and open. Very desirable from the immunity it 
enjoys from the attacks of insects. 
Early Drumhead. 
D. M. Ferry & Co's Premium Flat Dutch.—This 
we consider superior to any late cabbage in cultivation, 
it possesses all the good qualities of the Late Flat Dutch 
and is a sure header. Our stock of this variety is of our 
Green Globe Savoy.
