=HENDEKSON'S EAKLY SPKING CABBAGE.^ 



A ROUND, FLAT-HEADED, EXTRA EARLY. 



Coming in with the Large Wakefield and Yielding One -third 

 More than any other Extra Early. 



This is the first early flat Cabbage, and is the most popular 

 for early market wherever grown, the flat shape giving it an 

 advantage over the conical shaped sorts. It is of the Early 

 Summer type, but about one-fifth smaller; it has a short stem 

 and only four to five outside leaves, and these so small that it 

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

 It is ready fully a week earlier than any sort like it, and being 

 flat, its value can be readily appreciated. It is a sure, solid 

 header, always producing a crop of large, uniform heads which 



seldom burst. It is extensively grown in all sections of the 

 country, and is everywhere successful. Every trucker will do 

 well to plant it extensively. It is well bred, the veining of the 

 leaves being particularly fine. There is no Cabbage we know 

 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 attained its 

 mature size. Its shape and large yield per acre make it par- 

 ticularly valuable for truckers. Price, 30c. oz., $1.00 i lb., 

 $3.50 lb. 



" We never had such grand Cabbages as your Early Spring. It sells well and 

 lasted till early fall without bursting. Storekeepers came after it and could not gc: 

 enough:' M- L. EBERHART.
