H OUSEMAN LATE FLAT DUTCH 
THE LARGEST AND BEST 
OF THE LATE SORTS. 
This variety is very hardy, very handsome, 
very solid, one of the best keepers and of 
fine quality. It is one of the best for grow¬ 
ing for distant markets or for late spring; use. 
The plant is vigorous, rather compact-growing, with 
a longer stem than most American sorts and exceeding¬ 
ly hardy, not only in resisting cold but also dry weather; 
it matures its head a little later than the Flat Dutch. 
Hollander, or Danish Ball Head Cabbage. The leaves are large, very thick, bluish-green covered 
with whitish bloom and borne with an upward ten¬ 
dency. The head is round, of less diameter than that of the Flat Dutch, but so very solid that it weighs quite as much. The 
leaves of the head are very thick, white and tender and not only overlap or pass by each other more than those of most sorts 
but are so tightly drawn as to form an exceedingly solid head which stands shipment better and arrives at its destination in 
more attractive shape than those of any other late sort. In quality it is one of the best, being very white, crisp and tender. 
We have given a great deal of attention to this variety and offer seed of our own growing which we believe 
will produce a crop of more uniformly typical heads than can be grown from other stocks. 
A strain of Late Flat Dutch 
Cabbage in which the plants

LATE FLAT DUTCH * * * 
We have taken great pains to main¬ 
tain and develop the good qualities 
which have made this sort so popular, 
and offer a very superior strain. A 
thousand plants can be depended upon 
to produce from nine hundred and fifty 
to one thousand large, oval, solid heads 
of splendid quality, which will keep in the best condition fora 
long time. 1‘kt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; % Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.75

PREMIUM LATE DRUMHEAD ... 
VVe recommend this sort for markets 
that require a very large, solid head. 
A sure heading sort which in good, rich soil, will grow 
to an enormous size, and on poorer soils will give good- 
sized heads which are very compact, solid, and of excel¬ 
lent flavor.
