Burgess’ Cabbage Seed 
^Treated Against Diseases 
:In; growing a profitable crop of Cabbage, much depends upon the seed 
planted. Our seed is carefully grown from selected heads and under the 
supervision of expert Cabbage seed growers. Our seed is also treated for 
the control of seed-borne fungus and bacterial diseases, such as damp¬ 
ing-off brown or black-rot, club-root, Fusarium wilt, known also as “yel¬ 
lows,” and black-leg, known also as wilt. By planting Burgess’ Disease- 
Treated„Seed on soil that is free from disease you are reasonably assured 
of a gobd crop. If your soil is not free from disease, Formacide should 
be applied to the soil at the rate of 1 lb. to a 450 foot row. For price of 
Formacide, see page 124. 
One ounce of seed for 3,000 plants; lb. per acre. 
Lightning Express 
THE EARLIEST CABBAGE IN CULTIVATION 
Copenhagen Market 
Our Lightning Express is ready for use in 68 to 70 days from sowing— 
ten day§ earlier than Jersey Wakefield. Good fair trials of varieties offered 
by other seed houses as “the earliest grown” have proved that they are 
from 4 to 10 days later than our Lightning Express. Lightning Express is positively the earliest Cabbage in cultivation. Heads 
pointed, of good size, a little smaller than Jersey Wakefield, always sure to head, solid and firm and always in demand on the mar¬ 
ket, 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. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; Yt lb., 90c; 
lb., $3.00; 2 lbs., $5.40; 5 lbs., $12.00, postpaid. For prices of plants, see page 13.
