Charleston or Large Wakefield 
Extra Early Sorts 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD — The 
best extra early variety; heads solid and 
of excellent quality. The standard early 
market garden variety. Pointed head. 
CHARLESTON OR LARGE WAKE¬ 
FIELD —Only a few days later than the 
Jersey Wakefield; much larger and not so 
pointed. Uniformly large and solid. A 
great favorite with gardeners because of 
its large size and fine quality. 
EARLY WINNINGSTADT— An excellent 
variety for general use; very hardy and a 
sure header; the heads are hard, conical 
shape, and keep well summer or winter; 
it will succeed where most varieties would 
fail. 
EARLY SPRING —As early as the earli¬ 
est. Fine, large, flat heads. It has a 
short stem and but few outside leaves, ad¬ 
mitting of very close planting, solid heads, 
of finest quality. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET— The heaviest 
yielding and best quality cabbage that can 
be grown. A tremendous yielder of smooth, 
round, even sized heads, valuable for either 
early or main crop use, and with wonderful 
hardiness and vitality. A result of the 
highly developed Danish system of breed¬ 
ing. The plant is short stemmed and com¬ 
pact, leaves medium light green, thick and 
smooth, heads average about ten pounds. 
Surehead 
Second Early or Summer Sorts

larger than any other early sort. The 
deep, flat heads are remarkably solid and 
uniform in shape, size and color; compact 
and of very best quality.

cabbage for general cultivation. Very pop¬ 
ular in the eastern markets; stands dry 
weather and the hot suns to a remarkable 
degree. Extra large, round, solid heads of 
first-class quality; good keeper. 
EARLY FLAT DUTCH —This well-known 
and popular variety is considered by many 
to be the best second early sort; large, 
flat, solid heads of excellent quality; does 
not burst easily. 
Late or Winter Varieties 
PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH— The standard 
variety, a sure header and a good keeper. 
Many gardeners depend entirely on this 
variety for winter cabbage. 
SURE HEAD —A popular sort for main 
crop. It never fails to form uniformly 
large, solid heads, which are tender and 
of fine sweet flavor. 
DANISH BALL HEAD —Hard and solid 
as a rock; stands cold and drouth that 
would destroy other sorts. The best vari¬ 
ety to keep over winter for spring sales. 
LARGE LATE DRUMHEAD —Enormous 
heads, solid and of good quality.

(1 oz. will sow 100 ft. of drill; 
3 to 4 lbs. per acre) 
CULTURE —The Carrot will do well in 
any good, well-worked soil. For early use, 
sow the seed when the apple is in bloom, 
in rows fifteen inches apart, and when two 
inches high thin out so that the plants 
stand four inches apart in the row. For 
fall and winter use sow the seed from the 
1st to the 15th of June. The roots may be 
stored in cellar or pit, covered with dry 
sand, where they will keep solid until late 
in the spring.
