The illustration above was accurately engraved from a photograph of an average seed head of this world-famous main-crop Cabbage. See description on page 52 and testimonials for fifteen years on yellow inset opposite page 52. In the entire Catalogue of Seeds no item is more important to the Farmer and Market Grar- dener than Cabbage,—for upon the quality pf the seed primarily depends the marketable value of the crop. It is a fact that California Grown Seed or Imported Seed (of American varieties), so largely sold by dealers because it is cheap— cannot be relied upon to produce good crops throughout America. The best Cabbage seed is grown in Bucks County, Pa., and upon Long Island. Here our crops are annually raised by experienced and conscientious growers—subject to our personal inspection each season,—when every rogue is rigidly discarded and only first- class, well-developed heads saved for seed,— heads such as would bring the highest prices if sent to market. By a special system of stock selection, developed after long-continued study of the Cabbage and its tendencies, the strains we offer have become remarkable for both their Sure-Heading and Hard-Heading char- acter. So inbred are these qualities that the gardener can rely absolutely that no failure of the crop can result from any fault of the seed if he uses Burpee's High-Bred Seed of the BEST AMERICAN-GROWN CABBAGE.
