Be Sure to Plant some Cabbage Seed in your Garden , It can Be Served in Many Ways 
CABBAGE 
The requisites for complete success with Cabbage are: 
First, good seed. (In this crop the quality of the seed used 
is of the greatest importance; no satisfactory results can 
possibly be obtained when poor seed is planted.) Second, 
rich, well-prepared ground. (A heavy, moist and rich loam 
is most suitable.) Third, frequent and thorough cultiva¬ 
tion. The ground should be highly manured and worked 
deep. Our Cabbage Seeds are American-grown, and we are 
certain that better seed could not be obtained, as they are 
grown from specially selected seed stock, and are not sim¬ 
ply strains of other varieties, but true and distinct varie¬ 
ties. One ounce of seed to 100 yards of row. 
ALL SEASONS 
This forms a fine large head, of superior quality, nearly 
as early as the Early Summer. Suitable for planting at any 
season. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, )4 lb. 50c, lb. $1.75. 
SUCCESSION 
Very popular with the market gardener, producing enor¬ 
mous, uniform heads, and matures a few days later than 
Early Summer. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, % lb. 50c, lb. $1.75. 
PERFECTION DRUMHEAD SAVOY 
This is without a doubt the finest strain of the savoys 
on the market. No other winter cabbage can compare with 
it in flavor, particularly after it has been touched by frost 
when it is equal to cauliflower. Large heads. Leaves ex¬ 
tremely curled. Beautifully blanched. Do not plant the 
seed till June or early part of July if you wish to have 
good hard heads as it will not head up hard during very 
hot weather. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, 14 lb. 60c, lb. $2.00. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 
The earliest and surest heading of first early Cabbage. 
Most gardeners depend upon it for the bulk of their extra 
early crop. Its exceeding hardiness, not only to resist 
cold, but other unfavorable conditions, insures the great¬ 
est likelihood of profitable and satisfactory results. Our 
stock is grown and selected with the greatest care; there 
is none better and there are few as good. Plant compact, 
with few outer leaves, which are smooth and thick. Heads 
of medium size, solid, uniformly pointed and of excellent 
quality. The habit of growth and hardiness make it most 
desireable for early planting. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, 14 lb. 50c, 
1b. $1.75. golden acre 
This variety is of recent introduction, extremely early 
flat head. It matures much earlier than Copenhagen Mar¬ 
ket and heads much larger and more compact. Does not 
crack as easily. Few outer leaves, allowing closer planting. 
Matures in 82 days, making very solid heads, has done 
splendidly under dry weather conditions. Our strains of 
this variety are very uniform and can highly recommend 
it to the market gardeners. Pkt. 10c, oz. 30c, 14 lb. 75c, 
lb. $2.50. 
CHARLESTON, or LARGE WAKEFIELD 
A strain in which the plant is larger and a little later 
than Early Jersey Wakefield, the head being fully as solid, 
but less pointed and considerably larger. Leaves rather 
large, smooth and comparatively thick. Exceedingly hardy, 
and on account of its earliness and size of head, with mar¬ 
ket gardeners and shippers it is deservedly a very popular 
sort to follow Jersey Wakefield. The seed we offer can be 
depended on to produce uniformly fine, marketable heads. 
Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, 14 lb. 50c, lb. $1.75. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET

short, heads large, round and solid, with few outer leaves 
of an upright growth. Our stock of this popular variety

y 4 lb. 60c, lb. $2.00.

lb. $1.50. 
Premium Late Flat Dutch 
PREMIUM LATE FLAT DUTCH

for Winter use. It makes a large, solid head, which keeps 
long without bursting, and is adapted to a more varied 
climate than probably any other variety. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c,

all deep red varieties. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c, 14 lb. 75c, lb. $2.75. 
Chinese Cabbage 
Sometimes called Celery Cabbage. A wonderful salad 
plant, growing 15 or 16 inches high, somewhat resembling 
Cos Lettuce or more like Swiss Chard. Plant the seed 
early in the Spring and again in July and August, trans¬ 
planting 18 inches apart in 2% foot rows.

a creamy white. Every leaf, including the outside ones,
