CABBAGE 



Early Spring. — An, extremely early variety of the Early 

 Summer type ; heads are deeper and not as large across. Outer 

 leaves small and round ; stem short. Quality good ; a sure and 

 hard header. Average weight 5 lbs. Matures with or just after 

 the Jersey Wakefield. We consider this the leading variety 

 for first early. 



Winning stadt. — Heads conical ; outer leaves large and spread- 

 ing, therefore cannot be planted as closely as the Early Spring.
