Marblehead Mammoth Cabbage. 
My Cabba.ge is the largest in the world ! In favorable lo- 
caMties it will grow to weigh from thirty to sixty pounds a 
head, and wherever it has been introduced it has leit all oth- 
er varieties far in the background. They have been raised 
in every loyal State and in the Canadas, weighing from 20 to 
60 lbs. each. They are not only of enormous size, but very 
hard headed, very tender and sweet. The calls for seed have 
been so extensive that for the past two years I have been 
unable to supply it. I can this season supply packatres con¬ 
taining seed sufilcient for 500 plaiits, wUli full directions for 
cultivation, sent by mail, post-paid by me, for 25 cts. each •

nounced the very best of its class. I was the original intro 
ducer of the Hubbard and Turban squashes. Packages ol
