SPRING CATALOGUE OF SEEDS, BULBS AND PLANTS FOR l 89 I 
Guilds’ G a bbage, 
Bisiijarck. 
This most wonderful Cabbage was produced by cross fer- 
tilizini *— * - — . - 
and, we believe in every respect superior to any other Cab¬ 
bage m cultivation. It shows the Savoy blood bv dark green 
color and slightly wavy leaves, though not crinkled. It pos¬ 
sesses the largest size ever attained in Drumhead or Flat 
Dutch, and the superb quality of the Savoy. It has a short 
ana vERY small stem, consequently little waste from stem 
inside—much theleast of any large Cabbage. It has but few 
surplus or scraggy loaves, neither is it necessary to waste 
half the head by peeling off a large quantity of leaves before 
reaching those of eatable quality. It is most remarkable in 
this respect, for after removing those immediately outside 
and exposed, you come to ivory white, crisp, tender and de¬ 
licious leaves, as in the best Savoys. It Is very solid and 
heavy, and of quick growth, and sckk to head. A vear ago 
we saw a patch of 10.000 heads, and we could not find a failure 
in the lot, all plants that lived after .sotting produced a fine 
head. Per pkt., 15c.; oz., 40c.; lb., $4.00. 
Childs’ UbWersal Pea. 
The Finest of All. 
This is the first new Pea we liavo ever introduced, as for 
many years there has been no room for a new sort of ordi- 
™Sr lt . 8 ’ for there are already too many of them. In 
Childs Universal we have a new sort destined to become the 
Universal garden favorite the world over. It 
was originated over ten years ago, since when 
it has been carefully selected and grown, until 
we now have what we believe is the most per¬ 
fect Pea in cultivation. It combines a dwarf 
habit with tine quality and enormous produc¬ 
tiveness. the three essential features, all in one 
sort. It can be styled a half-dwarf, not tall 
enough to requiro staking, yet branching 
treoly and producing vino enough to give one

succession if sown at intervals of t wo weeks. For a standard 
garden sort it must take the lead, being superior to Cham- 
"ion of England Inasmuch that it does not require staking,
