Vegetable Plants and Roots 
FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS—Jersey or Charleston Wakefield. 
Winter hardened, that you can plant out the first day you can work the soil. 
These plants are growing right here on our land and are much hardier than 
plants grown farther south, with added advantage of lower shipping charges. 
Good, healthy, large plants that get you the first cabbages on the market. 
CABBAGE PLANTS—Ready from May on during the summer. Wake¬ 
field, Late Flat Dutch, Danish Short Stem Ballhead, Wisconsis All Seasons, 
Yellows resistant: 
All cabbage plants are grown from the very highest selected grade of 
seeds. A trial will convince you they are low in price considering the quality. 
In plants, remember, all your profits for a season depend on the quality of 
the plants. We have ideal soil for cabbage plants. I wish I could show 
you what fine plants we grow on this soil. I am sure if you need plants, you 
will want some of ours. They are hard, firm and will ship well indeed.
