Cannon Ball
The hardest heading of all early sorts. This cabbage is so called because the head is as round, and almost as hard and heavy, as a cannon-ball. I pronounce it as forming the roundest, hardest and heaviest head, in proportion to its size, of any cabbage known. It matures about ten days later than the Early York. While about all varieties of early cabbage make rather soft heads, this, though early, makes the hardest headed cabbage known. The heads when fully grown attain to the size of from six to eight inches in diameter. pkt.,10c; oz., 30c; ¼ lb., $1.00; lb., mail, $2.90; lb., exp, $2.75.

Danish Drumhead
In 1879, Mr. Edward Abelgoord wrote me from Canada, that he raised a large Drumhead cabbage, the seed of which was brought from Denmark, which was the best kind of Cabbage that he had seen in that latitude. (46 degrees). Being very valuable for the extreme North. It was earlier than Fottler's Drumhead and made large, flat heads of excellent flavor and was so reliable for heading. I raised a field of this new cabbage and it proved a large, flat, early Drumhead, very reliable for heading. I would recommend market gardeners and others to try it. Much like Stone-Mason in size and shape but is ten days or more earlier. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; ¼ lb., $1.00; lb., mail, $3.15; lb., exp, $3.00

Early Bleichfeld Giant
This new cabbage is well worthy the attention of farmers and market gardeners. I have raised it on a large scale and am much pleased with it. I find it to be the earliest of the large hard-heading drumheads, maturing earlier than the Fottler's Brunswick. The heads are large, very solid, tender when cooked and of excellent flavor. Stump short. It is as reliable for heading as any cabbage I have ever grown. The Bleichfeld appears to hold a place distinctly by itself among the early drumheads raised in the United States. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; ¼ lb., $1.30; lb., mail, $4.15; lb., exp, $4.00

Early Deep Head
I think every one must have found the Early Deep Head a magnificent cabbage, tough in growing it on a large scale I have not found it so much thicker than may own strain of the Fottler as I had reason to expect. The letters received from many of my customers demonstrate what magnificent capacity there is in a cabbage which will make hard and perfect heads, whether small or large, even to the tremendous weight of 63 pounds. The Deep Head is as early as the original Fottler; makes a larger and thicker head; hence is better to keep over winter, “peeling” well in the spring. I present a few of the weights of the cabbage as given by some of my customers. One writes: “One head of my Fottler's Brunswick weighed 39 ½ lbs., the heaviest of my Deep Head weight 46 ½ lbs.,” The varying weights only rose from there. Postpaid, lb., $6.15; ¼ lb., $1.75; oz., 60c; pkt., 15c.

Early Orange Cane
This is a stronger grower, yielding 24 per cent. More cane and is also richer in juice than any other variety. A little later than the Amber and not quite so tall, the stalks are every way stouter. It is not safe to attempt to cultivate north of Lat. 43 deg. Pkt., 10c.

One of the earliest; unsurpassed in quality; capital for family use. As the Savoys are the richest and best flavored of all cabbages, I bespeak for this variety a place in the kitchen garden. They can be planted about 18 inches apart. Pkt., 5c; oz., 40c.

Early Winnigstadt
The Winnigstadt is a large-sized cabbage among the early kinds, and probably the hardest heading of all the conical varieties. In earliness it comes in about a week later than Early Oxheart. Should the soil of any of my farmer friends be of so sandy a nature that they find it extremely difficult to perfect any variety of cabbage, before bidding a final farewell to the cabbage family I would advise them to try the Winnigstadt. Pkt., 5c; oz., 30c; ¼ lb., 75c; lb., mail, $2.65; lb., exp, $2.50

Improved American Savoy
The Savoys are the tenderest and the richest flavored of all cabbages, and for boiling are decidedly the best, being much superior to the Drumhead and Cone-shaped varieties. This is probably the best of all the Savoys for the general market. It grows to a large size, is as reliable for heading as the Stone-Mason or Premium Flat Dutch, and has a short a stump for either of these varieties. I heartily recommend it to all those market gardeners who grow Savoys by the acre for the general market.. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; ¼ lb., $1.00; lb., mail, $3.15; lb., exp, $3.00

Low's Peerless
This is supposed to be a cross between the Fottler and Early Wakefield. While on my own grounds it has not proved as satisfactory in some respects as Henderson's Early Summer, still a number of practical market gardeners who have raised these two varieties side by side speak very highly of the Peerless and state that it made larger heads than Henderson's Early Summer; that the heads were harder and did not incline so much to run to seed. In quality the Peerless is excellent and there are but few waste leaves on the plants. It is certainly worthy of general trial. Pkt., 10c; oz., 70c; ¼ lb., $2.00; lb., mail, $7.15; lb., exp, $7.00

Marblehead Mammoth Drumhead
This is, without doubt, the largest variety of the cabbage family in the world, being the result of extreme high culture. I have had heads, when stripped of all waste leaves, that could not be got into a two-bushel basket, having a diameter two inches greater! In a former circular I quoted from persons residing in fourteen states and territories, and also in the Canadas. East and West, expressing their great satisfaction with the Stone-Mason and the Marblehead Mammoth Cabbages, in their great reliability for heading, the size, sweetness and tenderness of the heads. They had succeeded in growing the Mammoth to the weight of thirty and forty pounds, and in some instances over fifty pounds! Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; ¼ lb., $1.25; lb., mail, $4.15; lb., exp, $4.00

Stone-Mason Drumhead
A standard variety in Boston market. This cabbage is distinguished for its reliability for heading, the size, hardness and quality of the heads. Under proper cultivation nearly every plant on an acre will make a marketable head. The heads vary in weight from nine to over twenty pounds, depending on the soil and cultivation. In earliness the Stone-Mason is upward of a week ahead of the Premium Flat Dutch and makes a harder head. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; ¼ lb., $1.00; lb., mail, $3.15; lb., exp, $3.00

The Warren Cabbage
This first-class cabbage is closely allied to but an improvement on the old Mason Cabbage of 25 years ago. It makes a head deep, round and very hard, the outer leaves wrapping it over very handsomely. In reliability for heading no cabbage surpasses it; a field of them when in their prime is as pretty a sight as a cabbage man would wish to see. It comes in as early as some strains of Fottler and a little earlier than others. A capital sort to succeed the Early Summer. The heads being very thick through and nearly round, make it an excellent sort to carry through the winter, as it “peels” well, as cabbage growers say. Ten or twelve inches in diameter. In size it is just about right for profitable marketing. A capital sort, exceedingly popular among marketmen in this vicinity. Pkt., 15c; oz., 60c.
