NEW WASHINGTON WAKEFIELD.--For many years the Jersey Wakefield cabbage has been the most prominent early sort with market gardeners, and many attempts have been made to improve on it with heretofore but limited success. In this grand variety, which is well shown by our illustration, we have a most superior strain, well worthy of the name it bears. It is a leader, and First in Head! First in Market! First in the Hearts of Gardeners! It is very early, the heads are pyramidal in shape, much larger in size than the Jersey Wakefield and very solid, with few outside leaves. It grows remarkably uniform, the heads being of very even size and shape. Unequaled for either the market or family garden. Don't fail to try it this year. Per pkt. 10c, oz. 30c, 1/4 lb. $1.00, lb. $3.25.
[logo] IOWA SEED CO.'S SHORT STEM DRUMHEAD.--Our improved and selected strain of this popular variety has greatly pleased thousands of our customers during the past two or three years, and so greatly has it improved during the seven or eight years we have had it, that in looking over our large field last summer it was almost impossible to find a head that was not solid and well formed. For sureness in heading and regularity of growth it is certainly the finest cabbage extant. It far surpasses any other strain which we have seen, ripening earlier, with very short stem or stalk, and large, thick, solid heads of silky fine quality, and of best keeping qualities. It is almost all head and always sure to head. Per pkt. 5c., oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 70c, lb. $2.25.
MAMMOTH RED ROCK.--A market gardener's strain of unusual size, color and weight, the result of careful and intelligent selection. It must prove very valuable. Its handsome appearance, large size, solidity and good quality will make it very desirable to all who like red cabbage. Color very dark red. It will pay all gardeners to try this. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, 1/4 lb. 85c, lb. $3.00.
FOTTLER'S IMPROVED BRUNSWICK.--Excellent for summer and fall use. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 60c, lb. $2.00.
PERFECTION DRUMHEAD SAVOY--Heads large and very finely curled. Finest Savoy in cultivation. The Savoys should be more generally grown. They are greatly superior in flavor to the other varieties. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 65c, lb. $2.00.
PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH.--This old and well known variety is still the standard winter kind. The heads are large and solid; first class keeper and sure header. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, 1/4 lb. 50c, lb. 1.50.
MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH.--Largest of all; have in some instances grown to a weight of 90 pounds, and the heads of such size that they would not go into a two-bushel basket. It is a good cabbage for exhibition at fairs when grown under a high culture, but as a rule it is too loose headed and uncertain for a main crop. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 60c, lb. $2.00.
