True Suretiead — Very certain to head, however hot ana dry the weather. The heads are large, round and flat, and very barer and firm of texture, fine-grained and most excellent quality. It is also a remarkably good shipper and keeper. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; It)., §4.00. Long Island — A new early sort of great value, and one which can be grown for early, medium and late crops, either at the North or South. It is very early, of large size, uniform, and a sure header; it does not burn or blister, but retains its lustrous, fresh green color even after being shipped to distant markets; hence its great selling qualities. By those who have grown it, it is said to be the most valuable Cabbage in cultivation either North or South. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30; IT)., $4.00. Perfection Savoy — Large solid heads of the Drumhead type With very deep, rich green color; heads of ex- ceptional beauty and uniformly perfect. As to quality it is simply superb. Crisp, delicate, tender, rich and delicious beyond description. Either for market or for ramily use it is the pearl among Savoys. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; tt>., $5.00. Red Dutch -— The most popular pickling Cabbage. Large deep red." Pkt., 5C; oz., 20; lb., S3.00. World Beater — A new Cabbage, as large or larger than Marblehead Mammoth, yet uniform in size, true to type, and a very solid header. No doubt it is the very best mammoth Cabbage to be had. Originated on Long Island. Pkt., 10c; oz., 3 5c; lb., §4.00. OaniSh i remarkably fine Cabbage from Denmark hav- ing qualities that are lacking in any standard American variety. Heads medium size, uniform, round, remark- ably solid. It is a fine shipper. For late Cabbage for winter use it has no superior, being of good size for family use and of extra good quality; crisp and tender; better than any Cabbage can possibly be with a less solid head. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; lb., $4.00. Excelsior Large Flat Dutch — This is a fine strain of Flat Dutch, always a standard sort, particularly in the South and Southwest, as it heads well in hot weather. Quality good and size large. Pkt., 5; oz., 25c; lb., $3.50.
