ity and uniform reliability to produce solid, firm heads. Even during the most 
unfavorable weather the heads are large. They are usually very heavy and solid, 
in form are round, flat on top and of a bluish-green color with but 
few outer leaves. The quality is fine and flavor excellent, heads

planted by more gardeners than any other late sort, and one of the 
beet to grow for the family table. Always sure to make a crop where 
other sorts fail, and sure to please everybody on all soils North, South,

New Golden Acre 
New Golden Acre Cabbage 
An Unequaled Early Long Keeping Cabbage, 
Round Solid Head, Vigorous Grower 
This excellent cabbage we have found to be 
one of the earliest round headed cabbage grown 
and so very solid that it seldom bursts. The 
plants are very compact with a short stem 
and very few outside leaves which admits of 
close planting. Head is firm, crisp and solid 
with center of clear white. Outside color 
medium light green. An average weight of 
8 lbs. is the record of this cabbage, which ma¬ 
tures round, smooth heads of the finest quality 
for the table or market in about 75 days after 
setting out plants. Golden Acre is not only a valuable early sort but it 
grows so large and is such a splendid keeper that it can profitably be 
raised for fall or early winter use. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 2 oz. 60c; % lb. $1.00;

Christmas King 
The Grandest Winter Cabbage. The Largest Cabbage in the World. 
The Longest Keeper and Surest Header 
This truly wonderful late variety of our own introduction gives the 
greatest yields of any Cabbage grown. The leaves are deep blue, very 
wide and overlapping each other, forming tight, compact heads, which 
are all very uniform in size and in time of maturity, and are of the 
most delicious flavor, crisp and sweet. It never bursts, has but few 
outside leaves and can be planted closer than most sorts and will then 
produce a larger crop per acre than any other variety. It is the best 
Winter keeper; there is no other variety which maintains its fresh 
appearance so long after it has matured. Christmas King is the finest 
late Cabbage known today; for the market, for shipping and for the 
home garden it has no superior. Our Christmas King Cabbage is bred 
for disease resistant qualities. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 2 oz. 45c; Vi lb. 75c; y 2 lb.
