EARLIEST ETAMPES.—FEarliest Etampes has } 
fairly sprung into popular favor. Full ten days to two 
weeks earlier than any other variety, excepting New 
Express, it forms fime, hard and solid pointed 
heads of extra quality, much larger and finer than 
the Early York. It has a short stem growing close to 
the ground, and by reason of its few outer leaves, can be 
planted much closer together than any other. It is in 
every way ome of the most desirable extra early | 
Cabbages ever introduced. Sown in March, it is} MAULE’S PRIZE WAKEFIELD.—There is no question that the Wakefield is 
frequently ready for use by the first of June.

IMPROVED BRUNSWICK, Short-Stemmed.—Many people} 
who only grow one variety of Cabbage, prefer the Brunswick to any j 
other, as it is most excellent, planted-early or late. Always a reliable fj 
header, and with ordinary cultivation, will readily weigh 20 to 30 lbs. | 
In quality it is most desirable, while there is no question it is the ear- 
liest of all the large, hard-heading Drumhead varieties of Cabbage. I 
have long taken pride in furnishing my customers with an extra strain 
of Short-Stemmed Brunswick Cabbage seed, and for this reason my ¥ 
prices are a little higher than for the ordinary strains of Brunswick § 
generally offered, but the seed is well worth the differeice. } 
Packet, 10 cts., ounce, 25 cts.; 144 lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.25. 
ALL H EAD EARLY My friend, Mr. Burpee, has this to say about All Head Early: “The 
° claims made for this distinct new Cabbage are, first, earliness. 
{tis the earliest of all large Cabbages, being at least a week earlier than any of the various 
Itraims of Early Summer Cabbage. Second, size. It is fully one-third larger than the 
ffarly Summer Cabbage, and therefore much more profitable to the market garden- 
er. Third, uniformity. The All Head Early is unquestionably the nearest ap- 
proach to a thoroughbred Cabbage of any variety yet introduced, both as 
regards size and uniformity of development. Selection, the means 
employed to establish this variety, has been constantly made to 
secure the largest early heads, with the fewest loose leaves. 
The deep, flat heads are remarkably solid and uniform 
in color, as wellas in shape and size. Fourth, qual- 
ity. The main feature of a good Cabbage is ten- 
derness,'and in this respect it surpasses all 
others. Tenderness is the result of rapid 
growth, and as the All Head Karly comes 
in quicker than any of the other flat Cab- 
bages, it is consequently more tender; 
veins and mid-ribs of leaves are also finer 
than those of any other variety. Fifth, 
adaptation. While All Head Early ts all 
that can e desired for earliness, it is also 
valuable for a late or Winter Cabbage. 
Seed sown in July and set out about the 
middle of August, will bring heads, large 
and solid, which are sure to winter well. 
Sixth, yield. By reason of the compact = 
habit of its growth, and absence of loose 
leaves, fully one thousand more heads can = 
rieties. Set plants 18 in. apart in rows, 
with 3 ft. between the rows; 9680 plants can 
be set per acre, 95 per cent. of which, in an 
ordinary season, will make good heads.
