Christmas King 
Christmas King 
The Grandest Winter Cabbage. The Largest Cabbage in the World. 
The Longest Keeper and Surest Header 
This truly wonderful late variety of our own introduction gives the 
greatest yields of any Cabbage grown. The leaves are deep blue, very 
wide and overlapping each other, forming tight, compact heads, which 
are all very uniform in size and in time of maturity, and are of the 
most delicious flavor, crisp and sweet. It never bursts, has but few 
outside leaves and can be planted closer than most sorts and will then 
produce a larger crop per acre than any other variety. It is the best 
Winter keeper; there is no other variety which maintains its fresh 
appearance so long after it has matured. Christmas King is the finest 
late Cabbage known today; for the market, for shipping and for the 
home garden it has no superior. Our Christmas King Cabbage is bred 
for disease resistant qualities. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 2 oz. 45c; Vi lb. 75c; Vi lb.

CABBAGE SEED—Continued 
Famous Great Dane Cabbage 
The Hardest Headed Late Cabbage. The Gardener’s Favorite, the Best 
Shipping and Longest Keeping Cabbage 
For years large quantities of Danish Cabbage have been imported to 
our leading markets, the heads being of such solidity that the demand 
has been far in excess of the supply. To get to the source of this 
supply, we sent an expert to Denmark, who after careful inspection of 
the Cabbage-growing localities found at the Island of Amagar the 
GREAT DANE Cabbage, which he considered by far the finest and 
most productive of all the types grown in Denmark. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 
2 oz. 50c; Vi lb. 90c; Vi lb. $1.60; lb. $3.00; 2 lbs. $5.75, postpaid.

A Most Delicious, New Vegetable Which Should Be in Every Garden 
and Which is One of the Most Profitable Crops to Grow for the Market. 
As Tender as Lettuce; Flavor as Delicate as Celery 
The Chinese or Celery Cabbage belongs to the Cabbage family ; when 
young, it resembles a smooth-leaved Chard-Beet, leaves being light 
green and crimped. The leaf is as tender as Lettuce and has as dis¬ 
tinctive a flavor, being very delicate and pleasant; every leaf, including 
the outside ones, is tender and edible. Our seed is Chinese grown, 
which is the only reliable stock for good solid heads. Pkt. 8c; oz. 20c;

to 30 pounds, and are of the finest quality. The quality, either for 
slicing, for kraut and for general table use is unsurpassed. It is as 
natural for this Cabbage to form heads as leaves. This variety is 
much used by market gardeners in northern Illinois. Pkt. 8c; oz.

Mammoth Late Flat Dutch 
The All American Variety. A favorite for Home or Market in Any 
part of the Country 
This is a money-maker. Among the late cabbage for gardening and 
for family use it ranks the highest. No variety of late Flat Dutch 
surpasses it for fine quality and uniform reliability to produce solid, 
firm heads. Even during the most unfavorable weather the heads 
are large. They are usually very heavy and solid, in form are 
round, flat on top and of a bluish-green color with but few outer 
leaves. The quality is fine and flavor excellent, heads being crisp, 
tender and white, and they keep in good condition until Spring. 
Outside of our Christmas King, this is the variety planted by more 
gardeners than any other late sort, and one of the best to grow 
for the family table. Always sure to make a crop where other 
sorts fail, and sure to please everybody on all soils North, South 
East or West. If you grow late Cabbage, do not fail to plant some 
of our selected strain of this variety. Pkt. 8c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 30c;
