. Burpee's farm annual 1893. Nurseries (Horticulture) Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. 22 W. ATLEE BURPEE & CO., acme FLAT dutch CABBAGE.—Showing Us even habit of growth. Acme Flat Dutch Cabbage. The ACME is a well-bred Cabbage, having been perfected by tbe continued selection for years on the part of an intelligent market gardener. It is entirely distinct from the well- known Premium Flat Dutch Cabbage, and differs from all other strains of Late Flat Dutch in that it is quicker growing (earlier to mature), hence can be started later. It is extremely handsome in appearance, as indicated by the illustration above, which also shows its low-growing character,—the stumps being very short. In in- specting a field of fifteen acres we were strongly impressed with the remarkable uniformity of the crop throughout,—the well-developed heads being so true to type and so uniform in color, which is an attractive bluish-green. The heads measure about thirteen inches across and weigh from ten to twelve pounds each; they will pack about fourteen to the barrel. The Acme not only comes very true, but is also a sure header; the heads are of good, marketable size, hard, solid, and fine -grained. Undoubtedly a very superior Cabbage for late autumn and winter use.
