Orleans Pride. 
4 Earliest variety heading 
Orleans Pride. cabbage. It 1s a selected 
cross between the Jersey Wakefield and the Early 
Flat Dutch, afterwards 1mproved by selection of 
stock until it produces uniformly a fine head. This 
cabbage is the earliest flat heading cabbage that is 
now known in any market, maturing at about the 
same season as the Charleston Wakefield. It should 
be planted closely 1m rows, as there 1s but Ittle eut- 
side growth, and, when so planted, will produce fine 
crops of solid heads of very fine quality. Wherever 
it has been used, we have had most excellent re- 
ports from it. We recommend same highly for 
market and family use.
