CHAMPION'S LATE FLAT DUTCH CABBAGE. We know this to be the finest strain of Late Flat Dutch Cabbage Seed ever offered' and we have gone to much trouble and expense to bring it to the present high standard- It is all head, always sure to head, and will produce a greater weight of cabbage from a given space than any other sort. The heads have scarcely any outer leaves, are remark- ably uniform,. solid, of fine texture, have a short stem, and usually weigh from ten to thirteen pounds. It is very sweet flavored, keeps well, is an excellent shipper, with- stands drought well and is without doubt the finest late cabbage for the Market Gar- dener and consumer that we ever saw during cur thirty years experience. No variety can approach it for fine quality and uniform reliability to produce solid, firm heads of good size during the most unfavorable weather. From £.11 parts of the country we have received expressions of unanimous praise, and we could fill many pages with testimonials from thousands of Market Gardeners who grew it the past five seasons. If you haven't had it, don't fail to get it. Pkt. ioc, oz. 25c, % lb. 75c, 1 lb. $2.50, 2 lbs. $4.50. LARGE DARK RED DANISH DRUMHEAD. We unhesita- tingly pronounce this the best of ?I1 Red Cab- bages, producing large uniform solid heads, of a rich, deep red color. Many of the heads av- erage eleven pounds each, it also keeps longer than any other variety, and never fails t o head. Either for pickling or table use there is no variety to equal it. Our seed is grown for us by a cele- brated Danish market gardener, and will give the greatest satisfac- tion to all. Pkt.
