MORETON FARM CABBAGE SEED IS THE FINEST GROWN. 
We have long made a specialty of growing improved strains ol cabbage seed. Having been largo growers oi 
cabbage both for seed and market, we realize the great importance ol using well-bred seed. There is no crop, with 
possibly the exception of the onion, that is so much influenced by the quality ol the seed used as the cabbage. It is so 
easy to raise seed from poor, loose heads of cabbage, or even from the stumps alter the heads have been cut and sold, that 
a great deal of poor seed is annually sold, the purchaser being tempted by the low prices at which such seed is offered. 
All our seed is grown from large, well-matured, perfect heads, and will consequently produce such when 
given the proper care. We have fields of our Short Stem Cabbage in which the heads run so even in shape, size and 
solidity that it is hard to find one in a hundred that lias any imperfection. 
CULTURE —For very early cabbage sow seed In hot-beds in this latitude about March 1st. As soon as the land can bo worked, set out the plants on 
rich soil in rows 2*4 feet apart and the plants 18 to 21 inches apart, In the rows. The land should bo heavily manured or given a llbeml dressing or a 
mixture of nitrate of soda and superphosphate. Some cabbage growers on Long Island uso 1,000 pounds of each per acre. _For early fall use, sow 
Henderson’s Summer or Succession In the open ground as early as possible and t ransplant as soon as plants aro largo enough 
use, sow the largo varieties from the first to the middle of May and transplant the plants from Juno nth to July loth. In rc 
way. Any good corn or potato land will raise cabbage. Llbeml fertilizing or manuring will pay well. .

An ounce of seed will produce about 2,001) plants. 
HARRIS' SHORT STEM CABBAGE. 
The Best Large Late Cabbage Crown— (Sec Cut). 
We have grown and improved this Cabbage by careful selection for 
over 20 years, and think there is no Cabbage equal to it for fall and 
winter use, either for home use or market. The heads grow uniformly, 
very large, deep and solid, and are of the very finest quality, They will 
keep better than any large Cabbage we know of, being very much superior 
to common varieties in this respect. , 
We have tills Cabbage bred so well that 99 plants out of every 100 will 
produce good solid heads if given good ground and proper care. Yields 
of 15 to 20 tons per acre are not at all uncommon with this variety and even 
larger yields are possible under favorable conditions. Seed from extra 
selected heads, lb. 32.25, 34 lb. 65c., oz. 20c., pkt. 5c. 
DANISH WINTER CABBAGE. 
SOLID EMPEROR— (Sec Cut). 
After trying many varieties of Danish and German Cabbage we are 
satisfied that the Danish “ Solid Emperor” is the best variety or strain of 
Cabbage which is imported into tills country from Holland and Denmark 
and which brings double the priceof common Cabbage in our markets, and 
therefore introduced this variety last year. We regret to say that many 
fields of this and other Danish varieties were nearly a failure this season on 
account of aphides and subsequent blight, which attacked the outer leaves 
cansing them to turn brown and drop. The blight was much worse on 
early set plants than on those set out later. Plants set out after July 1st 
produced excellent crops. This is theflrst time we have had any trouble 
with blight and we presume it will notoccur again soon. 
The Solid Emperor is the hardest and heaviest Cabbage we have ever 
grown. It is also very uniform and a sure header. Under favorable con¬ 
ditions not one plant in 500 will fail to produce a perfectly solid head. 
Although the heads are not as large as some other varieties they are so 
solid and heavy that they weigh nearly as much as the larger heads, and 
will yield nearly as many tons per acre. Lb. $3.25, 34 lb. 85c., OZ.25C., pkt. 10c. 
HOLLANDER—Danish (See Cut ). 
This is one of the hard heading Danish or Holland Cabbages, which 
sell for high prices in our market. This variety, the Solid Emperor, Intro¬ 
duced by us lost year,and the Danish Bail-head, aro all very similar to 
each other and only differ in a few minor points. The “Hollander” is 
flatter and wo think a little larger than the other Danish varieties and 
has the same solidity of head and long keeping qualities of the nail-head 
and Emperor. Considering the high prices obtained for these Cabbage 
they are undoubtedly the most profitable to raise when they can be given 
first class land and kept until late in the winter or early spring, Reed 
imported direct from the most reliable growers in Denmark. Lb. $8.26, 
34 lb. 85c , oz. 25c., pkt. 10c. 
BURPEE'S ALL-HEAD EARLY. 
This Is a large early Cabbage, much resembling Henderson's Summer, 
but somewhat larger and earlier than that excellent variety. The beads 
are very uniform In size and shape, and all mature at the same time.

Our 8peclal Improved 8traln of 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 
Wc have a very/ fine strain of this variety, which beads the earliest and 
most uniformly of any cabbage. The beads are of good size, very solid, 
and witli few outside leaves. We recommend tills strain to market 
gardeners as the very best. Lb. $8.00, 34 lb. 85c., oz. 25c., pkt. 10c. 
8TANDARD VARIETIE8 OF CABBAGE. 
Succession Cabbage— This Js a remarkably finely-bred cabbage. The 
heads are of good size and shape and have very few and small outside 
leaves. Nearly every plant will produce a good head. Fora medium 
early cablmge it Js unequaled. It can be set out as late as the first of 
August, and matures before November 1st. It is one of the finest 
cabbages we know of, and we highly recommend It, both for medium 
early and late crops. Lb. $2.00, 34 60c., oz. 20c., pkt. 6c.
