Nurseries (Horticulture) New York (State) Rochester Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs; Grasses Seeds Catalogs. JOSEPH HARRIS CO., MORETON FARM, COLD WATER, N.

RAISING CABBAGE SEED IS ONE OF OUR SPECIALTIES* Being situated in one of the best cabbage growing regions of this country, we have long made a specialty of rais. ng cabbage both for seed and market. We have thus been able by selecting the very finest heads for seed to breed up 3ome very fine strains of cabbage that will satisfy the requirements of the most critical grower. The crop of seed this year is very small and prices for fresh seed of the finest strains are necessarily high There will be a lot of cheap Imported seed offered, but the man who buys it will know better next time. There is nothing so essential to successful cabbage raising as well-bred seed. In order to get large crops, nearly every plant must produce a good solid head. If the seed has not been raised with great care there will be many "sports " or imperfectly formed heads, which will detract from the yield and profit. Of course, the most carefully grown seed will not produce a crop unless given proper management, but if the seed is not well-bred the best of land and the greatest pains in cultivation will not produce a first-class crop. We could buy cabbage seed at 30c. per lb. but it would not produce a crop like that shown in the photogmpli bt^iow which was raised from our selected seed. It never pays to sow cheap seed of any kind, but cheap cabbage seed should be avoided as you would the HARRIS' SHORT STEM CABBAGE. RAISED FOR SEED AT MORETON FARM.
