Lightning Express Cabbage 
The Earliest Cabbage in Cultivation 
Our Lightning Express is ready for use in 65 to 70 days from sowing—ten days earlier 
than Jersey Wakefield. Good fair trials of varieties offered by other seed houses as 
‘the earliest grown” have proved that they are from four to ten days later than our 
Lightning Express. 
LIGHTNING EXPRESS is positively the earliest cabbage in cultivation. The 
heads are pointed, of good size, a little smaller than Jersey Wakefield, always sure to 
head, solid and firm, and always in demand on the market, bringing high prices on 
account of their extreme earliness. Very hardy, permitting earliest planting. There 
are but few outer leaves, and plants may therefore be set closely together. As many 
as 14,000 heads can be grown on one acre of ground, and will bring a larger profit per 
acre than later and heavier varieties.

COPENHAGEN MARKET 
One of the finest early round-headed cabbages in cultivation. 
It is desirable on account of the remarkable characteristics of 
maturing the heads all at the same time, enabling the grower 
to gather his crop with less expense and permitting the cleaning 
of the land at the first cutting. The heads average about ten 
pounds each in weight, are hard and solid with small core. The 
quality is extra fine and sweet. It is a short-stemmed variety, 
the heads nearly resting on the ground. The leaves are light 
green, rather small, saucer-shaped and tightly folded, making 
it possible to set them close together in the field.

JUMBO CABBAGE

surpassed. Pkt. 10c—3 Pkts. 25c

CHINESE CELERY CABBAGE 
A most delicious vegetable 
which combines the rich 
celery flavor with that of 
the cabbage. Can be 
cooked or eaten like celery. 
Makes as good salad as the 
finest head lettuce. The 
mid-ribs can be cooked like 
asparagus, and for cold 
slaw no cabbage compares 
with it—One of the most 
delicious vegetables yet in¬ 
troduced, and bound to 
become one of the most 
popular.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Improved Half-Dwarf Brussels Sprouts is a variety of the Cab¬ 
bage family, possessing the peculiarity of bearing upon its stem 
or stalk from 50 to 100 small, compact round heads, each measur¬ 
ing from 1 to 2 inches in diameter. These heads are cut off 
when formed and are usually marketed in quart berry boxes. 
The plants are very hardy, are not injured but improved by 
hard frosts, and are left in the garden or field during the early 
winter until wanted. May be had in fine condition until about 
Christmas time in the North, and in the South may be had 
from November to March. These miniature Cabbages may 
be boiled like Cabbage or cooked in cream like cauliflower. 
They are the most delicious and delicately flavored of the Cab¬ 
bage family.
