“We have finished cutting the new Early Spring Cabbage and 
must say that tt ts the earliest of all flat cabbages known to us. 
Every plant made a perfect head and a good size, averaging thirty- 
two heads tothecrate. We set this cabbage the same distance apart 
as the Early Summer. This was wrong, for it has very little 
SJoliage and can be grown as close as the Charleston Wakefield, 7. e., 
about 13,500 plants to the acre. It will make one-thira more of a 
crop and be just as early as the Wakefield. It has a double advan- 
tage for this sectzon, being early and fiat.”

HOLLAND CABBAGE. 
A GRAND ACQUISITION. 
“ Your Early Spring Cabbage ts all 
you claim, the very best very early 
cabbage I have planted in twenty 
years, every one heading fine, not- 
withstanding they were cut down 
with the late frost. -All my custom- 
ers say,‘ bring me sone 
more early spring cab-, 
age.’

A ROUND FLAT-HEADED EXTRA EARLY. 
Coming in with the Wakefield and yielding one-third more than any other 
Extra Early. 
Every head as uniform as if moulded, and remarkably solid even when young. 
Few and small outside leaves. Small veins. Fine texture and delicate flavor. 
WE introduced this variety to the gardening public in 1894, after patient and ex- 
haustive tests made by ourselves and other cabbage critics in several sections 
of the country, and all reports have been most flattenng as to its merits as an 
early variety. We particulariy emphasize the fact that its great value lies in its 
being a First Early FLAT cabbage, a type much preferred over pointed 
heads by most people, and it will readily be seen that this variety; with all of the 
merits of Early Sommer, only a trifle smaller, which can be cut as early as Jersey 
Wakefield, is destined to secure a prominent and lasting place among vegetables. 
The variety is of Early Summer type, but about one-fifth smaller, having only four 
or five outside leaves, and these so small, and growing so near to the head, that it 
may be successfully planted twenty-one inches apart, 13,500 to the acre, as close as 
any variety we know of. It possesses wonderful uniformity in shape, being round, 
sligntly flattened at topof head. Stem is short and extends but little into the head; 
this feature is valuable, as it makes almost the entire head edible. The whole plant 
is finely bred; there is no suggestion of coarseness whatever; the veining of the 
leaves and leaf stems 1s particularly fine, the whole head being perfect throughout. 
There is no cabbage we know of having a more solid head ; but, added to this, it 
has 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. 
It is entirely free from any rankness of flavor. Its uniformity in shape and large 
yield per acre renders it particularly valuable for truckers, and its compact form 
and good quality will render it the finest Early Cabbage for every private garden.

HOLLAND CABBAGE. 
Known also as Hollander, Dutch Winter, Danish Ball Head and 
Luxemburg. : 
THis variety is the best of a type of Cabbage, which has come very largely into 
use in recent years. Its principal value lies in its hard heading qualities, 
which make it positively the best shipper and keeper of any on the market. 
There is no variety in existence so hardy and so distinct in appearance. It grows 
ona somewhat long stem, usually about nine inches; the plant is wonderfully 
compact, has few or no outside leaves, and the head is exceedingly hard. We have 
never seen a variety which presented so dense an appearance on being cut as does 
this one, we can give a better idea of the solidity of the head by stating that the 
weight of a head trimmed for market is fully one-fourth more than that of any 
other variety of a similar size. We are positive it is destined to occup 
a very prominent place in our market produce, and we strongly advise ah 
truckers to grow at least a portion of their late crop of this vest (See cut.)
