 EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES, (for cabbage plants, see page 170.) 



Early Jersey Wakefield, Henderson's. (See page 16.) This famous Cab- 

 bage was introduced by us, and still retains its lead as the best first Early 

 in cultivation. The heads are of pyramidal shape, with blunt peaks, and are 

 remarkably solid. The outside leaves are small, though of great substance, 

 enabling the plants to stand severe weather. Our seed is from bighly-bred, 

 selected stock and is unequaled 



Charleston Wakefield, Henderson's. (See page 16.) This is the largest 

 Early Cabbage, which we bred from the Early " Jersey " Wakefield, to meet 

 a demand for a larger heading sort. It possesses all of the valuable charac- 

 teristics of the parent with the advantage of the heads being fifty per cent, 

 larger, though a few days later. Our strain of the seed is very superior 



Early Spring, Henderson's. (See page 17.) The only Early, round, flat- 

 headed Cabbage; fully one week earlier than any other flat Cabbage, and 

 yielding one-third more than any other extra early; it heads firmly, is fine- 

 grained and of extra good quality

Early Winningstadt. An old, popular, medium early variety, with large, 

 pyramidal heads of excellent quality; good to succeed the extra earlies

 very early and remarkable for its fine delicate flavor

 ten days later than Wakefield 



Fottler's Improved Brunswick. Heads large, flat and solid; a sure header, 

 long-standing; short stem.
