ALL OUR SEEDS TESTED FOR GERMINATION

CABBAGE— Continued 
clear does not discolor the cauliflower or cabbage heads. Fine 
air-slaked lime or tobacco dust, sifted on the ground, will pre¬ 
vent them from doing any harm. One ounce will produce 
about 2,000 plants. About 16,000 early or 8,000 late cabbages 
plant one acre. Most of the seed we offer imported by our 
firm from Holland. 
EARLY VARIETIES 
Early Winningstadt (Imported). A well known and very pop¬ 
ular variety in season, very close to Wakefield. Heads are 
large, decidedly conical, leaves bright, glossy green; heads 
solid and hard, even in summer. This is a very sure heading 
variety, valuable not only for early use but for winter cab¬ 
bage. Imported seed, pkt. 5c; oz. 25e; Ya lb. 9©e; lb. $2.50. 
True Jersey Wakefield (Imported). This is an admirable im¬ 
ported sort, suited to the family and market garden. The heads 
begin to mature the latter part of June to the first of July, 
and may be cut in succession for several weeks. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 30c; Ya lb. $1.00; lb. $2.75. 
Early Dwarf Flat Dutch (Imported). Has succeeded admirably 
on account of its ability to resist heat; it never flaws under the 
severest sun, and produces very fine heads after the earliest 
varieties have disappeared. We recommend it highly. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 25c; Ya lb. 90c; lb. $2.50. 
Glory Cabbage (Imported). This is as early as Early Flat 
Dutch, but is also one of the very best winter cabbages, and 
is unexcelled in delicious flavor, crispness, solidity and keep¬ 
ing qualities. No other cabbage combines so many excellent 
qualities in such marked degree. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Ya lb. 90c; 
lb. $2.50. 
Copenhagen Market. Early variety, popular with market gar¬ 
deners. One of the finest round head cabbages in cultivation. 
Heads mature evenly, averaging about 8 lbs. each. A short¬ 
stemmed variety, fine and sweet, and we offer you best im¬ 
ported seed. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Ya lb. 90c; lb. $2.50. 
Golden Acre Cabbage. A new early variety earlier than Copen¬ 
hagen Market. Solid round head. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Ya lb. 90c; 
lb. $2.50. 
LATE VARIETIES 
Danish Railhead, Short Stem. This winter variety is especially 
desired on account of its great solidity and its keeping quali¬ 
ties. They weigh more than other sort of equal size. The 
heads are crisp, tender and sweet, and unsurpassed for boiling, 
slaw, sauer kraut, etc. It grows well on all soils and under 
most conditions withstanding hot, dry weather, and does not 
rot in wet seasons. This seed is also imported by us direct 
from Holland. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Ya lb. 90c; lb. $2.50. 
Premium Late Flat Dutch (Imported). As a variety for winter 
it has no superior. Heads large, bluish green, round, solid, 
broad and flat on top. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; Ya lb. $1.00; lb. $3.00. 
Volga. A Russian cabbage which has a deep, hard, round 
head, short stem, grows close to the ground. It matures earlier 
than any other late variety. Heads weigh from 12 to 14 pounds. 
Our seed is absolutely the best. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Ya lb. 90c; 
lb. $2.50. 
All Seasons. A grand variety. We recommend it as one of the 
best and surest cabbages to grow. For the market gardener 
it is one of the most useful, marketable, and profitable. It is 
perhaps the safest variety for the amateur to plant as it does 
well at all seasons and is a very sure cropper. The heads are 
dark blue in color and being tender and fine keeping, are 
excellent for fall and winter use as well as during the summer.

sandy loam, deeply tilled. For early crops, sow in the spring 
as soon as the ground is in good working order; for late crops 
they may be sown any time until the middle of June. Sow in 
rows about 15 inches apart, thinning to 3 inches between 
plants. Do not cover more than % inch deep. One ounce to 
150 feet of drill; 3 pounds to an acre.

Ox Heart or Guerande. This new French carrot is one of the 
most valuable of all recent introductions either for family use

derful producer; the best of all for the stock breeder, and valu¬ 
able to the market gardener. With this variety the planter 
secures the largest returns to the acre with the least difficulty 
in harvesting. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Ya lb. 35c; lb. 85c.

rot grows about half above the ground, making it less expen¬ 
sive to harvest and has a bright yellow color. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 
lb. 90c. 
CHIVES

the onion tribe, but quite hardy everywhere. The leaves are

during the season. They are propagated by division of the 
roots. Pkt. 5c; Ya oz. 25c; Yz oz. 50c; oz. 90c.
