This Cabbage is by far the most popular kind sold in Boston 
Market. It originated in Marblehead, Mass., and holds the 
same rank among cabbages, as the Hubbard squash among 
squashes, being distinguished for its reliability for setting a 
symetrical head remarkably hard and heavy. It is early, very 
fine grained, and sweet, with a stump, when properly cultivat¬ 
ed. of hut one to two inches in length. Under fair cabbage 
culture ninety-five per cent will set good heads to the acre; 
under good culture, frequently every plant on an acre will sei a 
marketable head. A package of the best variety of this cab¬ 
bage, the Stone-Mason, containing seed more than sufficient to 
raise a Winter’s supply for one family, forwarded post-paid to 
any part of the United States, California and Oregon excepted, 
for 25 cts. One pound of seed forwarded, post-paid, on the re¬ 
ceipt of $4.00, or for $3.09 to parties paying their own freight, 
tt^flf this Cabbage does not prove itself tube what I recommend 
it, the money will be returned, as I aim to introduce no product 
new to the public that, will not he a full return for the money 
they invest. I will give five dollars to any person for one ounce of 
seed of any Drumhead Cabbage, that will excel this variety in 
the above named traits. Any person desiring to procure a 
package of the Marblehead Mammoth Drumhead Cabbage,can 
obtain it. at the same price. This is the largest cabbage m the 
world, averaging, as grown by Marblehead farmers, 30 lbs. per 
head by the acre, and sometimes reaching 60 lbs. a head, and 
measuring nearly six leet. around the solid head.

world, and cultivated by that society for the pu>j ose of rest jng 
their quality This collection has* been carefully cultivated 
during the past two seasons, and specimens exhibited at some 
of our State and County Fairs, which have attracted much at¬ 
tention. From these Stvcnty-five varieties have been selected,

disease, can be recommended as every way desirable for gene¬
