Marblehead, Mammoth- Largest of all; have in some instances been grown to a weight of over 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 lb. $2.00; 1/4 lb. 60c; oz. 20c... 5.

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 lb. $2.00; 1/4 lb. 65c; oz. 20c. 5.
CHASE'S EXCELSIOR- Medium early, following the Henderson's Summer in close succession. It is not equalled by any medium early cabbage we are acquainted with, for sure, solid heading, [continued next page]

Remember that $1.00 pays for seeds in packets to the amount of $1.35 and to deduct 10 cents per lb. if you have seeds sent at your expense.
