Long Island -A new early sort of great value, and one 
which can be grown for early, medium or late crops, 
either at the North or South. It is very early, of large 
size, uniform and a sure header; it does not burn or 
blister, but retains its lustrous, fresh green color even 
after being shipped to distant markets; hence its great 
selling qualities. By those who have grown it, it is said 
to be the most valuable Cabbage in cultivation, and from 
our experience we can say that it really is the finest and 
most profitable sort to grow, either North or South.

Variegated —This is a unique novelt y among vegetables and 
is a highly ornamental plant. It is of the ordinary size 
and habit of growth of a Cabbage, but the dark green 
leaves are streaked and blotched with white, rose, red 
and lilac, and when the plant attains its size it makes a 
splendid show when planted in rows or masses, or when 
grown as single specimens, especially in the autumn and 
during winter. Freezing only intensifies the beautiful 
coloring of the leaves, and all during late fall and early 
winter it is an object of great beauty. While the orna¬ 
mental character of this variety forms its main feature, 
and is of the greatest value; it is by no means useless as 
a vegetable, as it is a true-heading Cabbage, and the 
heads are of fair size and excellent quality, and owing to 
their great beautv, sell readily. Pkt., 10c.
