ICE DRUMHEAD 
A Sure Header, Slow to Run 
to Seed, Unaffected by Hot 
Weather. Crisp, Tender and 
Delicious. Absolutely Free 
From Bitterness. The Pure 
White Head Is of a Good Size, 
and the Quality Cannot Be 
Equaled by Any Other Variety. 
We have an improved strain 
of Ice Drumhead this year, 
which is superior to what we 
have been sending you in the 
past. The seed of our improved 
strain is black instead of 
white. It grows rapidly; heads 
very early; the heads are as 
large as Summer Cabbage and 
as solid. The leaves are thick, 
broad, light green outside, 
changing toward the center 
from a golden yellow to a 
creamy white. The heads are 
as palatable as beautiful; very 
tender; never bitter; of deli¬ 
ciously sweet buttery flavor. 
Ice Drumhead is a sure header 
and an all header. It stands 
hot weather better than any 
other variety of its class. Can 
be used when quite young and 
until it runs to seed. Postpaid,
