I take pleasure in informing my numerous custom¬ 
ers that I have the best cabbage seed that can be 
obtained anywhere. 
The seed I offer is grown on Long Island, N. Y., by 
one of the most reliable seed growers in the world, 
who makes thegrowing of cabbage seed a specialty. 
, Having every facility available, and the best climate 
in the world, perfectly adapted to the growing of 
good seeds, there can be no failure when these 
seeds are used by the gardener. Compared with the 
cost of the seed there is perhaps more money to be 
made in growing cabbage than any other crop, and 
certainly there is nothing that growers should be 
more particular about than in procuring seed that 
will be true to name and produce good paying 
crops. In offering Finch’s Early Express I am sure 
that I have the best early cabbage that was ever 
grown. 
If you have ever bought seed that was recom¬ 
mended to produce extra early heads, perhaps you 
got early heads (such as they were), but you did not 
like the small, loose heads, and they were not satis¬ 
factory. 
The heads of Finch’s Express Cabbage are not 
small, loose heads, but are of good size, and hard 
and tine grained and heavy, and they come so 
early that you can have cabbage on your table long 
before your neighbors even think of cutting theirs. 
The illustration shows how they appear when grow¬ 
ing, and the picture showing one-half a head is true 
and just as one of the heads look when cut in half. 
The picture at the foot of the page shows an enter¬ 
prising gardener driving to town with a load of the 
Express Cabbage and getting a good price for it be¬ 
fore his neighbors have theirs ready. Finch’s Ex¬ 
press is not only an extra early sort but it is equally 
good for the winter; being a good keeper it can be 
grown for winter and prove as satisfactory as many 
of the later varieties. 
CAUTION—Other dealers are offering seed under 
the name of Express, but it is not the same as Finch’s 
Express; it does not produce as large and solid heads. 
Price of Seed—Large packets, 10 cents. I sell Four 
packets which will contain about one ounce of seed 
for 25 cents. 
This will produce about 3000 heads of cabbage 
which if sold at Five Cents each will bring S150. 
Surely it pays to get reliable seed, to start with, and 
then just think for a moment, S150 realized from an 
expenditure of only a quarter. How could you in¬ 
vest 25 cents in any other way where it would bring 
in such wonderful returns? 
Useful Advice to Cabbage Growers— To destroy 
the green worm that is so destructive to the leaves 
and heads of cabbage, take one ounce of Saltpeter 
and dissolve it in twelve quarts of water ; then take 
a short-handled whisk broom, dip it in the solution, 
and sprinkle the plants well. One application is 
usually sufficient unless the stuff is washed off by 
heavy rains. To prevent the turnip flea from injur¬ 
ing the young plants sift fine air-slacked lime or 
tobacco dust over them as soon as they appear above 
the ground. Finch’s Express Cabbage seed, 10 cents 
per packet; 4 packets for 25 cents. For genuine
