RELIABLE CABBAGE SEED 
New Race Horse 
New Extra Early Race Horse 
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. 
Race Horse is ready for use in sixty days from sowing—ten days earlier 
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. 
$1.00; Vz lb. $1.80; lb. $3.25; 2 lb. $6.00, postpaid. 
Extra Early Winningstadt 
A very fine header and will grow a hard head under circumstances where 
most sorts would fail. It will stand more frost, drought, wet, insects and 
diseases than any other early Cabbage Plants; very compact, with short thick 
leaves. Heads regular, conical and very hard. Pkt. 5c; oz. 18c; 2 oz. 35c; 
Vi lb. 55c; V 2 lb. $1.00; lb. $1.90; 2 lb. $3.60, postpaid.

A sure header. Matures at the same time as Glory of Enkhuizen. The 
plant is compact, with a few outer leaves, stem short. Head very large for 
so early a variety, very solid and flat, but very deep and uniform in size and 
shape. Well adapted for kraut. By planting late it can be used as a Winter 
Cabbage. Pkt. 5c; oz. 17c; 2 oz. 30c; Vi lb. 50c; V 2 lb. 95c; lb. $1.75; 2 lb.

Marion Market 
This Cabbage resembles Copenhagen Market. Its most distinguishing fea¬ 
ture is its complete resistance to Cabbage yellows and it is, therefore, valu¬ 
able for land where yellows-resistant Cabbage is needed. Yellows-resistant 
varieties of Cabbage should be more generally grown. The heads are almost 
round and very solid. It is a hardy, highly bred strain, grown extensively for 
kraut and long-distance shipping. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 2 oz. 65c; Vi lb. $1.10; 
V 2 lb. $2.10; lb. $4.00; 2 lbs. $7.75, postpaid. 
Charleston or Large Wakefield 
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. Pk. 7c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; Vi lb. 60c; V 2 lb. $1.10; lb. $2.00; 
2 lb. $3.75, postpaid, 
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. 
Pkt. 7c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; Vi lb. 60c; Va lb. $1.10; lb. $2.00; 2 lb. $3.75, 
postpaid. 
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 bet¬ 
ter than that of the big-ribbed Winter 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, remaining an exceptionally 
long time in condition for use. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 2 oz. 60c; Vi lb. $1.10; 
V 2 lb. $2.00; lb. $3.50; 2 lb. 6.50, postpaid. 
Jersey Queen—Yellows-Resistant 
This early variety was developed out of Early Jersey Wakefield at the 
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station, and is an excellent substitute for 
the Early Jersey Wakefield variety in areas infested with yellows. The heads 
are smaller and it matures a little later than the regular Early Jersey Wake¬ 
field. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 2 oz. 60c; Vi lb. $1.10; 1/2 lb. $2.00; lb. $3.50; 2 lb. 
$6.50, postpaid. 
Copenhagen Market 
Lightning Express 
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. 8c; oz. 25c; 
2 oz. 45c; Vi lb. 75c; V 2 lb. $1.35; lb. $2.50; 2 lb. $4.75, post¬ 
paid.

sistant

ant” Cabbage this year, in addition to

near Chicago. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 2 oz.

Selected True Early 
Jersey Wakefield 
The Standard Extra Early Cabbage 
Our own stock of Jersey Wakefield is 
grown from selected heads only and is 
the earliest and finest strain of this va¬ 
riety in the market. It forms fine solid 
heads of good size, conical in shape, with 
very few outside leaves, and of the best quality. Jersey Wakefield is about 
ten days later than Race Horse, but has larger heads and is much more pro¬ 
ductive. Pkt. 8c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; Vi lb. 60c; V 2 Ibk $1.10; lb. $2.00; 2 
lb. $3.75, postpaid. 
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 
True Early Jersey Wakefield 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. 
10c; oz. 30c; 2 oz. 55c; Vi lb. $1-00; Va lb. $1.80, lb. $3.25, Z 
lb. $6.00, postpaid. __
