This Cnbbage is by fur the most popular kind sold in Boston 
Market. It originated in Marblehead, Mass., and holds the 
s imc rank among cabbages, as tine Hubbard squash among 
squashes, being distinguished for its reliability lor setting a 
by metrical head remarkably hard and heavy. It is early, very 
hue grained, and sweet, with a stump, when properly culttvat- 
f .,i ,7f hut one to two inches in length. Under fair cabbage 
eulnire ninety-five per cent will set good heads to the acre ; 
under good culture, frequently every plant on an acre will set a 
murk efable head. A package of the best variety of this cab¬ 
bage, the Stone-Mason, containing seed more than sufficient to 
I 'u'se a Winter’s supply lor one family, forwarded post-paid to

.v to the public that will not be a full return for the money 
t hey invest I will give five dolTars to any person for one ounce of 
.red of anv Drumhead Cabbage, that will excel this variety in 
the above named traits. Any person desiring to procure a 
package nf the Marblehead Mammoth Drumhead Cabbage,can

v , rid avera-ing, as grown by Marblehead farmers, 30 lbs. per 
h-ail bv the acre, and sometimes reaching 60 lbs. a head, and 
measuring nearly six leet around the solid head.

Broom Corn Seed for sale, the stalks of which, on an average, 
are not more titan eighteen inches to two feet hightothe brush, 
and the brush is of about the same length The whole plant

old tall variety, being much finer in fibre nod much more elas¬
