The crop should receive as many as two hoeings and three cultivations. Cabbage will not usually follow cabbage or turnips 
successfully In field culture, unless three or four years have intervened between the crops. 
Cabbages should be hoed every week, and the ground stirred as they advance in growth, drawing up a little earth to the 
plant each time untjl they beg'in. to. head, when they should be thoroughly cultivated and Tett to mature. Loosening the roots 
will sometimes retard the bursting of full grown heads. 
Of late years many crops of early cabbage have b»en destroyed by maggots at the roots. The best remedy seems to be to 
remove the earth from around the stem and apply an emulsion of kerosene made as follows: Add one quart of kerosene oil to 
two quarts of boiling soft soap which has been thinned to the consistency of cream. Stir the oil thoroughly by churning or 
other m«thod until It has united with the soap and forms a cream-like substance. Then dilute with five times as much water. 
Tobacco dust, ashes, slacked lime and coal dust are all recommended as preventives, and with us have proved valuable in the 
order named. These are scattered about the plants, leaving one here and there untreated for the flies to congregate around 
and deposit their eggs upon, when they should be pulled up and destroyed.

for early use. Xever falls to head up even under the most 
adverse circumstances. Testimonials from all sections prove 
It to be of the greatest value to large growers. iSlnce its 
introduction by us It has increased in popularity each sea- 
son, until It now stands and is acknowledged by gardeners 
and seedsmen to be the finest and largest early cabbage in 
the world. It Is larger than Early Summer, and comes in 
about 10 to 15 days ahead of that popular sort. It can't be 
beat for shipping and is worth a fortune to any gardener 
who grows cabbages for the early market. The Early 
Surprise is unquestionably the nearest approach to a thor- 
oughbred cabbage of any variety yet Introduced, both as 
regards slate and uniformity of development. Pkt. 10c, ox. !S5c,

be one of the most reliable %'arletlc» of sure-heading cab-

it is equalled by very few of the late sorts. A sure header,

advantage of being a large, round head variety and therefore 
commands a higher price than the Minnesota Earliest, but it 
does not head quite a.s early. One of tlie largest grower* 
near St. Paul states, that for two seasons past be has been 
the first to bring cabbage to the market, and they always 
brought a high price. We have tested all the Extra Early 
Cabbages offered the past few seasons and know that none 
can equal our Surprise and Minnesota Earliest either for 
earliness, yield or quality. It will produce good sixed mar-
