EARLY SPRING 

 CABBAGE. & <& 



Jt Round, FlaUHeaded, Extra Early. 



COMING IN WITH THE LARGE WAKEFIELD 

 and YIELDINQ 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 par- 

 ticularly fine. There is no Cabbage we know 

 having a more solid head; it has also the peculiar- 

 ity 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 particularly valuable for truckers. (See 

 ait.)
