The introducer of this splendid Yariety is one of the largest I 
growers of Cabbage in the world, and it is with pleasure we oflTcr 
Snr patrons a new early Cabbage that we know will give perfect 
*'lt^irt'hc"earHest of all large Cabbages— being at least a week 
earlier than any of the various strains ol harly Summer Cabbage, 
and fully one-third larger; therefore more profitable to the Market 
Gardener. The Early Surprise is unquestionably the nearest ap- 
proach to a thoroughbred^^Cabbage of any varietyyetintroduced, 
both as regards size and uniformity of development. Selection, 
the meansemployed to establish this variety, hasbcen constantly 
made to secure the largest early heads with the fewest loose 
leaves. The deep flat heads are remarkably solid and uniform la 
co/or as well as shape arid size. ,. . i

Wc introduced this splendid variety in 1891, and it at oncetook 
the lead among thelarge growers whodesired an extra early Cab- 
bage for the markets. Every season we have tested it on our 
trial grounds, or had our growers test it, and it still retains first 
place, coming in a very few days ahead of our Early Surprise. 
The IJarly Surprise, however, has the advantage of being a large 
roundhead variety, and therefore commands a higher price than 
Minnesota's Earliest, butit does not head quite as earl}'. „.„„.„ = t v,, had been the first to bring Cabbage to the market
