Few and Small Outside Leaves. Small Veins. Fine Texture 
DOD and Delicate Flavor. 
Its great value lies in its being a First Early FLAT cabbage, a type 
much preferred over pointed heads by most people, and it will readily be 
seen that this variety, with all of the merits of Early Summer, only a 
trifle smaller, which can be cut as early as Jersey Wakefield, is destined 
to secure a prominent and lasting place among vegetables. The 
variety is of Early Summer type, but about one-fifth smaller, having 
only four or five outside leaves, and these so small and growing so 
near to the head, that it may be successfully planted twenty-one 
inches apart, 13,500 to the acre, as close as any variety we know 
of. It possesses wonderful uniformity in shape, being round, 
slightly flattened at top of head. Stem is short and extends but little 
into the head; this feature is valuable, as it makes almost the entire 
head edible. The whole plant is finely bred; there is no suggestion 
of coarseness whatever; the veining of the leaves and leaf stems is 
particularly fine, the whole head being perfect throughout. There 
is no cabbage we know of having amore solid head; but, added to 
this, it has the peculiarity of heading firmly at an early stage in its 
growth, so that the finest cabbage, though small, can be obtained 
long before it has attained its mature size. Itis entirely free from any 
rankness of flavor. Its uniformity in shape and large yield per acre 
renders it particularly valuable for truckers, and its compact form and 
good quality will render it the finest Early cabbage for every private 
garden. (See cut.)

“ We have finished cutting the new Early Spring Cabbage, and must 
say that tt is the earliest of all flat cabbagesknown tous. Every plant made 
a perfect head and a good size, averaging thirty-two heads to the crate. We 
set this cabbage the same distance apart as the Early Summer. This was 
wrong, for it has very little foliage and can be grown as close as the Charleston 
Wakefield, i. e., about 13,500 plants to the acre. It will make one-third more 
of a crop and be just as early asthe Wakefield. It has a double advantage for 
this section, being early and flat.” 
“Your Early Spring Cabbage is all you claim, the very best very early cabbage 
Ihave planted in twenty years, every one heading ‘fine, notwithstanding they were 
cul down with the late frost. All my customers say,‘ Bring me some more Early 
Spring Cabbage.’’’ 
“« The Early Spring Cabbage is the finest I sever saw in this county. I had 
cabbage two weeks before any of my neighbors.’ 
““We bought one packet of your Early Spring Cabbage last spring and 
considered them the finest early Cabbage we ever grew. They were about 
Jive days ahead of the Wake/field.” 
««Thave heads now of your Early Spring Cabbage that weigh 
6 lbs., that were planted eleven weeks ago. Your Early Spring 
will take the place of the Wakefield or Charleston with me.” 
“Your Early Spring Cabbage are all that 
you advertise them to be. 2 had jine luck 
with them this spring.”
