BUIST’S “VERIBEST” CABBAGE HEAD

bage lettuce on the market, and is unsurpassed 
for general home use or market gardening, 
either for forcing or sowing in the open 
ground early in the season. It forms a beauti¬ 
ful solid head, which is very crisp and tender; 
outer leaves light green, with beautiful 
crumpled yellow inside leaves; of a rich but¬ 
tery flavor, absolutely free from any bitter¬ 
ness and will not turn red from cold. It can 
be sown broadcast in September and trans¬ 
planted in cold frames to cut early in the

good keeper. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; M lb., 60c;
