Early Spring" Gabbage. 



The only Extra Early, Round Flat-Headed 



Cabbage in the World ! 



Coming in with the Wakefield, and yielding 



one-third more than any other Extra Early. 





This variety is of the Early Summer type, but 

 about one-fifth smaller, and has only four to five 

 outside leaves, and these so small that it may be 

 planted twenty-one inches apart, 13,500 to the acre. 

 Eemembering that tiiis is a first early flat 

 variety, the shape that is so popular on all 

 markets, and that it is ready fully a week earlier 

 than any sort like it, its value can be reiid- 

 ily appreciated. The stem is short, mak- 

 ing almost the whole filant edilile. It is 

 finely bred, the veining of the loaves l)eing 

 particularly fine. There is no cabbage 

 we know of having a more solid head ; it 

 has also 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 at- 

 tained its mature size. Its shape and 

 laige yield per acre make it particularly 

 valuable for truckers, and its good quality 

 will render it the finest early cahl)age for 

 private gardens. (.See cut.) Price, 15c.

 an ample husk fully insures its value as a shipping variety: indeed, the combination of 

 good qualities possessed by it makes it the most desirable of all for early trucking.
