r* i i ir* • , l. One of the best of the 
Early Winnigstadt second early sorts, 
very hardy and sure heading. Owing to its com¬ 
pact anti upright habit of growth and peculiar 
texture of its snort, thick, rich dark green leaves, 
the variety seems to suffer less from the cabbage 
worm than most other sorts. Head of medium 
size, sharply pointed, very hard and of good 
quality. Leaves covered with bluish white bloom. 
Keeps well both summer and winter. It is the 
hardiest, uot only as regards frost, but will suffer 
less from excessive wet, drought, insects or dis¬ 
ease than any other second early sort. Pkt. 5c; 
Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; Va Lb. 60c; Lb. $2.00 
x || o One of the largest and most 
All oeasons desirable of the second early 
sorts. Plant very vigorous and sure heading, 
with few outer leaves which are large and smooth. 
Head very large for so early a variety, nearly 
round or somewhat flat ten eel, very solid and of 
the best quality. Adapted for autumn as well 
as early summer use, and considered one of the 
most desirable for kraut. Remarkable for its 
ability to stand the hot sun and dry weather, 
remaining an exceptionally long time in condition 
for use. Sometimes sold as Vandergaw. Pkt. 5c; 
Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; Va Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.00 
¥- i j? ri r* * L Continued experi- 
Early Dwarr Jr iat Dutch eDce confirms our 
belief that this is a most valuable second early sort. 
The plant is short stemmed, upright and having com¬ 
paratively few and short leaves, the rows can be set 
close together. Head large, nearly round .or slightly 
flattened, very solid and uniform in size and shape, 
maturing with Early Summer. Practically every plant 
will form a good, solid head which will mature much 
earlier than the Late Flat Dutch or other sorts usually 
grown for market and shipping. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 25c; 
2 Oz. 40c; Va Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50

cabbage. The plant is strong growing with numerous

longer without bursting than most early sorts. Valu¬ 
able for home garden and market, and well adapted 
for kraut. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; Va Lb. $1.00;

t i sorts, especially for 
Drumhead, or the home garden. 
D • | The plant is of dwarf 
Brunswick compact growth, with 
CL c very short stem and 
bhort btem few outer leaves. The 
head is large, flat, solid and of excellent 
quality. Most desirable as an interme¬ 
diate variety and also .well adapted for 
late use. We have taken pains to have 
our stock free from the longer stemmed, 
coarse plants often seen in inferior 
stocks of this variety. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 25c;

is adapted for autumn as well as sum¬ 
mer use. Our seed is from carefully
