CABBAGE There is no garden vegetable grown that success or failure so plainly depends upon the quality of seeds sown. Poor seed of Cabbage is poor at any price. Our seed is all raised on Long Island, where the finest Cab- bages in the world are grown. We could buy common Cabbage seed for very much less, but we know our cus- tomers would rather pay a little more and get seeds they can rely upon. Three things are necessary to raise fine Cabbage—extra good seed, rich mellow soil and thor- ough cultivation. All Seasons (700)—As the name would indicate, good for all seasons—early, medium or late. A sure header and long keeper; quality very fine. It is a remarkably good new sort. Head large and solid, round with flat top. finest quality and ready for marketing almost as early as the standard early sort. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; lb., ST.CO. New Cabbage, LITTLE MOXARCH (700%) This was crowded out of our Novelty pages. It Is a Cabbage that grows only a foot high with heads a foot across. So compact that it may be set much closer than any other variety and gives a beautiful fair sized head. It is a real gem for the home garden. There is very little to this Cabbage but head. Can grow about one-third more to any given space than any other. Pkt., 15C; oz., 75C Volga (701)—This is, without exception, the nearest approach to perfection of any variety. Heads uniformly solid; in this respect it is a wonder, as the heads are of about equal size and shape, weighing from twelve to fifteen pounds each. In one flejd of three acres there was not a single plant thrown out, or showed, in any respect, any variation from a true and valuable type. Unlike most types the heads are perfectly solid and the stem does not run into the head nearlv as far as in other types, and the flesh is exceedingly Arm, tender and white, making it a most desirable form for kraut, as well as for all other purposes. The most severe winter known in this section did not inflict the slightest injury on the Volga; not a leaf was lost, while all otner kinds suffered terribly. This tvpe is remarkable for its quick-growing habit, ^"e have noticed particularly this sort and find that it will mature its heads fully two weeks earlier than any or our late-growing kinds. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; lb., $8.00.
