Absolutely the Earliest Cabbage in Cultivation—Indispensable to the Market 
Gardener for His Very Earliest Crop. Extra Early—Sure Header— Good 
Keeper—Attractive Appearance—Desirable Shape and Size.

than Jersey Wakefield. The plants are very hardy and can be set out very 
early; they are always sure to head, making good sized, solid and firm pointed 
heads, which, though a little smaller than Jersey Wakefield, are always market¬ 
able, and being first in the market bring high prices. The heads are very at¬ 
tractive in appearance, of splendid quality, tender, fine grained and of sweet, 
delicious flavor. Earliest of all Cabbage. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 2 oz. 55c, Vi lb.

ture is its complete resistance to Cabbage yellows and it is, therefore, valu¬ 
able for land where “y®H°ws-resistant Cabbage is needed. Yellows-resistant

round and very solid. It is a hardy, highly bred strain, grown extensively for

Extra Early Large New 
Queen 
The Best and Largest Early Flat Cabbage 
Ever Grown. The finest Cabbage for Gen¬ 
eral Use. Make Money Growing Cabbage 
This Year. .* 
Extra Early Large New Queen is unques¬ 
tionably the finest bred and earliest of the 
very large (weighs from 17 to 25 lbs.) Cab¬ 
bages and the most solid headed of this class. 
It is a dwarf, compact grower, allowing close 
planting, a sure header, most uniform in 
growth, beautiful in appearance, and of much 
better quality than the big ribbed Winter 
sorts; in fact, it possesses all the fine qual¬ 
ities of the best early varieties, it is unexcel¬ 
led in flavor and always the leader in every 
market. Practically every plant will form 
a very large, solid head and will mature 
earlier than any variety of equal size. The 
heads become solid and eatable long before 
they are fully grown and they will stand 
well without splitting long after they are fully developed. Our 
New Queen Cabbage is bred for disease resistant qualities. Pkt.

Charleston or Large Wakefield 
Lightning Express 
A splendid strain of Jersey Wakefield, about a week later, with heads twice 
as large, weighing from 8 to 12 pounds each and more, and not so pointed as 
the original Wakefield; is a good keeper and may be planted as a second crop, 
to mature in Autumn, if desired. It is much used by most gardeners to fol¬ 
low Jersey Wakefield, a first rate shipper, and in great favor with everybody 
who knows it. Pkt. 7c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; V 4 lb. 60c; V 2 lb. $1.10; 1 lb. $2.00;

Copenhagen Market 
The Earliest Large Roundheaded Cabbage Yet Introduced 
The heads are exceptionally large for so early a variety, very solid and of 
most excellent quality. The plants are vigorous but compact, with short stem 
and few outer leaves which are of rather upright growth. The leaves are 
medium light green, nearly round, comparatively thick and smooth. This is a 
most excellent sort, boon for the home garden and market gardening trade.

Heads Small, Heart Shaped and Solid. The Best Extra Early 
Cabbage. Matures in 55 Days 
The whole plant is finely bred; there is no suggestion of 
coarseness whatever. It has the peculiarity of heading firmly 
at an early stage in its growth, so that the finest cabbage though 
small, can be obtained long before it has attained its natural size. 
Ready for use in 55 days from time of planting. Heads of good 
size; weight from 8 to 13 lbs.; have but few outside leaves, and 
therefore may be planted very close together and yield large 
crops; always of fine flavor and very solid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 
2 oz. 45c; »/ 4 lb. 75c; V 2 lb. $1.40; lb. $2.50; 2 lb. $4.75, post¬

Disease Resistant All Seasons 
Heads are large, nearly round, extremely hard and solid, with 
finely ribbed leaves; the eating quality is not excelled by any 
other Cabbage and is far better than that of th^ big-ribbed Win¬ 
ter sorts, and considered one of the 
best for kraut. It is suited to all 
growing seasons, is a sure header 
under most adverse conditions, and 
keeps well even if planted very late. 
Remarkable for its ability to stand 
the hot sun and dry weather, re¬ 
maining an exceptionally long time 
in condition for use. Pkt. 10c; oz.
