THIS strain of Wakefield is often sold as Extra-Early Jersey Wakefield. In our variety simplification program we prefer to hold to 

 our policy of original nomenclature and at the same time offer the best available. This stock has been developed to a degree of purity 

 and early maturity that we believe is not surpassed in the pointed types. Practically the entire crop can be* taken off by the second 

 cutting. This feature together with the great solidness and uniformity of the head makes it a stock of importance to all growers of this 

 type of cabbage. This stock last year was sold as Rapid Strain.

Charleston Wakefield (Stokes) will mature at least- one week earlier than the usual strains of Charleston. This past season we sold 

 this stock under the name Sea Island Strain. It will matiire a solid head about pound heavier and about one week later than Early- 

 Jersey Wakefield (Stokes). Of the two, our Charleston stock is slightly more uniform, being rated at 96%, as against 94% in com- 

 petitive tests. The restrained leaf growth is a feature of the variety. Growers of large Charleston acreage need go no farther or pay more 

 for any finer stock. If one exists, we do not know of it and we have kept a sharp lookout in that direction. This stock at present is 

 extremely satisfactory. We hardly see how it could be improved upon. It is making a strong return for our customers.

In the interest of seed disinfection we recently visited the huge Bayer Plant near Cologne, Germany, the originators 

 of organic mercury products. All very impressive. The plant covers over 100 acres, 5,000 men are employed, 32 yard 

 locomotives — one of them named Aspirin. Europe is ten years ahead of the United States on seed treatment.
