Early Summer Cabbage. 
We send out this new variety of Early Cabbage, feeling 
satisfied that it will rival. If not to some extent supersede, 
the Wakefield. The merit of this variety consists in its be¬ 
ing the earliest of all large cabbages, coming in but a few 
days after the Wakefield. It has also another valuable pe¬ 
culiarity, of rarely or never bursting open when ripe, so 
that if a crop can not be used at once, it will not spoil, as is 
the case with most of the other early sorts. There is no 
doubt of it becoming a standard variety, either for market 
or private uses. Per Packet, 50 cents.
