tables, and eaten when green, or left to head, on the coming off of other crops, 

 and if there is a superabundance above the wants of the family, nothing is bet- 

 ter for the cow or the pig. 



Early York. — This is a very valuable 

 early variety, which, together with its deli- 

 cate flavor, makes it a general favorite, and 

 the best for general puq^oses. Heads, small, 

 rather heart - shaped, firm and tender ; 

 of very dwarf growth, and may be transplant- 

 ed fifteen or eighteen inches apart. 



Early Large Tork. — This succeeds 

 the Early York, and is equally desirable. It 

 is of a large size, about ten days later, more 

 i-obust, and bears the heat better, and on 

 that account is much esteemed South. 



Early Sugar Loaf. — This has conical 



heads, with spoon-shaped leaves, of a peculiar ashy, or bluish-green color. A 



fine variety for the Northern States, but in the South, it loses its flavor and 



tenderness ; is more affected by the heat than most early varieties. 

 Early Wliinlg'stadt. 



— This variety, all things 



considered, is the best in 



cultivation, for general 



use. It comes both early 



and late, is remarkably 



solid and hard, even in 



summer, and keeps well 



in hot or cold weather. 



The heads are regularly 



conical, exceedingly full, 



and of excellent quality.

desirable for early market use. Heads, larger than many of the other early 

 sorts, and of delicious flavor. Highly recommended. 



Early Wakefield. — One of the earliest varieties, and a great favorite 

 with Eastern market gardeners. Heads, of medium size, rather conical, solid, 

 of delicate flavor. 



Early Dwarf Flat Dutch. — A most excellent second early variety, fol- 

 lowing the Large York, and preceding the Premium Flat Dutch. Heads, large, 

 solid, flat on the top ; it grows low on the stump, and is of good flavor. Popu- 

 lar in the Southern States, where it is used in large quantities, having become 

 acclimated. 



Early Drumhead. — Similar in form and character to the Large Late 

 Drumhead, but earlier. Sown at the same time, it will precede it by at least 

 four weeks. 



Fottler's Early Drumhead. — This variety has proved to be a most
