K Cr W Selected Cabbage 
One ounce will produce about 3000 plants; 4 to 5 
ounces to the acre. 
The Cabbage is one of the most important vegetables, 
and some of its varieties are universally cultivated. The 
ground must be highly manured, deeply dug or plowed, 
and thoroughly worked to insure good, full sized heads. 
A heavy, moist and fresh loam is the most suitable. The 
early sorts should be sown very early in the spring in 
hotbeds, or later in the open ground. 18 inches by 3 
feet apart is the common distance. 
ALL SEASON. Larger than Henderson’s Early Summer, nearly as 
early; very solid and sure heading. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; y 4 lb., 
#1.25. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET. One of the best large, round head, 
early cabbages in cultivation, the type being thoroughly fixed and 
nearly all the heads maturing at the same time. The plant is 
short'Stemmed; heads, set near the ground, and are solid, with a 
small core, and of fine quality. One of the very best early cab' 
bages for market gardeners. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; l / 4 lb., #1.50. 
DANISH BALLHEAD. (Imported). Heads round and solid. A 
good winter variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; l / 4 lb., #1.25. 
DANISH BALLHEAD. (Cape Elizabeth grown). A valuable, 
round, solid winter variety. Is a long keeper and profitable for 
shipping, keeping long after other sorts have gone. This particular 
strain is the result of years of selection, and is in great demand by 
those who appreciate the best. The slight increase in price over the 
regular seed is more than offset by the increased yield. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 60c; 1/4 lb., #2.25. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. A standard early variety for home 
use or market. Heads somewhat pointed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; l / 4 
lb., #1.25. 
EXTRA EARLY COPENHAGEN MARKET. An improvement on 
the Copenhagen Market, being equally good and earlier. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 60c; V 4 lb., #2.00. 
GOLDEN ACRE. The earliest round'headed variety. Pkt., 15c; oz., 
60c; 1/4 lb., #2.00. 
HENDERSON’S EARLY SUMMER. One of the earliest of large 
cabbages, coming in but a few days later than the Wakefield; heads 
of large size, very solid and compact. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; *4 lb., 
#1.25. 
IMPROVED AMERICAN SAVOY. Very sweet and tender; good' 
sized, firm heads; very reliable and much esteemed for family use. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; V4 lb., #1.25. 
MAMMOTH RED ROCK. Used almost exclusively for pickling. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; V 4 lb., #1.25. 
PE-TSAI (Chinese Cabbage). Grows similar to Cos lettuce. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 35c; V 4 lb., #1.25. 
Cauliflower 
One ounce will produce about 2,500 plants. 
Any soil that will grow cabbages will grow cauliflower, as the 
requirements are almost similar, but as the product is more valuable 
extra manuring and preparation of the soil will be repaid. The 
seeds may be sown in a hotbed in March or April, and transplanted 
to open ground about the first of May. 
Cauliflower plants ready about May 15th. 
HENDERSON’S EARLY SNOWBALL. One of the best early 
sorts. Very reliable and grown largely for the market. Pkt., 
10c; oz., #2.50. 
SUPER SNOWBALL NO. 7. Seed grown in Denmark. Large, 
solid head, good for early, medium, or late planting. Pkt., 15c; 
oz., #3.00. 
Copenhagen Market Cabbage. 
Choicest Carrots 
One ounce to 100 feet of drill; 3 to 4 pounds to the acre. 
Carrots require a very finely pulverized soil to grow them to 
perfection. 
A good, light and well-enriched sandy loam is the 
best for this crop. For field culture, sow in drills, 2 to 
21/2 feet apart, and for table use sow the smaller varie¬ 
ties in rows 16 to 18 inches apart. For early crops, 
cover one-half an inch deep and thin to 3 inches apart, 
in rows; for late, cover three-fourths of an inch deep 
and thin to four inches. 
CHANTENAY. A choice variety, longer than the Scarlet Horn, 
and a little broader at the top. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; *4 lb., 50c; 
1 lb., #1.50. 
DANVERS CARROT. Bagley Strain. This is a cylindrical shaped 
carrot, 8 to 10 inches in length, which grows wholly in the ground 
and is very attractive. Probably the heaviest yielding strain on the 
market. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; l / 4 lb., 75c; 1 lb., #2.50. 
DANVERS HALF-LONG CARROT. In form it is midway be* 
tween the Long Orange and Scarlet Horn. The root is of a rich, 
dark orange color and grows very smooth. Very productive and 
keeps well. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; V4 lb., 50c; 1 lb., #1.50. 
EARLY MARKET. A thick, stump'rooted early variety, of a bril¬ 
liant color, broad at the top, gradually getting smaller towards 
the root, which is blunt. An excellent market sort. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 20c; V 4 lb., 50c; 1 lb., #1.50. 
HUTCHINSON. An improved strain similar to the Danvers, but of 
a larger size. It is of excellent quality, and in great favor with 
market gardeners who find it a ready seller on account of its at' 
tractive appearance. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; l / 4 lb., 75c; 1 lb., #2.50. 
IMPROVED LONG ORANGE. The best late variety. Roots of 
large size, heavy cropper; an excellent keeper. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 
l/ 4 lb., 50c; 1 lb., #1.50.

#2.50. 
NANTES. Early, roots almost cylindrical, very smooth, and grows
