Keep the Land Occupied. 
There are fields, portions of fields, or patches 
on almost every farm which produce compara¬ 
tively notliing after wheat and other early 
crops are harvested, tliat, might well give an¬ 
other paying return for the small amount of 
labor required. While the Southern farmer 
can probahly find nothing so well adapted to 
his purpose as cow-peas, to those of a less 
favored climate, and almost everywhere, tur¬ 
nips will prove a valuable after-crop, requir¬ 
ing but little attention; even when sown in 
drills, one working is usually sufficient, and the 
produce may be fed of! by sheep or hogs where 
It grows. Rye, too, sown in July or August, 
affords excellent Fall, Winter, and early Spring 
feed for stock of all kinds. Garden rows f 
where early potatoes, peas, etc., have left a 
vacancy, should not lie neglected to perfect a 
crop of weeds; but, planted with com, for fod¬ 
der, or turnips, a double remuneration is re¬ 
ceiver!, not only in the crop, but in the destruc¬ 
tion of weeds, and the extra working of the 
soil as a preparation for next Spring’s opera¬ 
tions. M. B. Prince.

HENDERSON’S SELECTED EARLY 
JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 
HENDERSON’S EARLY SUMMER 
CABBAGE. 
As the originators of the Karly Summer Cabbage, we offer the same true 
stock that we first sent out In and which has given such universal 
satisfaction that we feel Justified In saying that of the many valuable new 
things with which we have become Identified, we consider this perhaps 
the best. Henderson’s Knrlv Summer Is about ten dove later than the Wake 
field, but being of over double the size It may bo classed as the best large 
early cabbage. In weight Il ia equal to most of the late varieties, and its 
short outer leaves enable it to be planted nearly as close as the Jersey Wake¬ 
field, itbunr IJ.OXJ to the acre, while Early Flat Dutch, Winnlngstadt etc., 
producing no larger bends, can only be grown at tlio rate ors,t/iJ to the 
acre. Another excellent quality Of Henderson's Early Summer Cabbage Is 
that It keeps longer without bursting open after beading than any varietv we 
know of. We caution, however, that If this variety is to be s*iwn :n "Fall 
for wintering over in cold-frames, it should be sown ten (lavs later than the 
Jersey Wakefield, otberwlm? It may run to seed. In this latitude we sow 
Early Summer on 25tb September. In the competition for our '‘Special 
J J ri ” of $30 off'red for Dili <t head of this variety, the best specimen so far 
received came from Iowa and weighed 18 lbs. Price 40c per oz, $4 per lb 
To most growers for market the great value and charac¬ 
teristics of this variety are well understood. To those 
who may not. however, be familiar with it, we would say 
that it is justly considered the best Early Cabbage in culti¬ 
vation. Among its merits may be mentioned its large size 
of head, small outside foliage, and its uniformity in produc¬ 
ing a crop. The heads are pyramidal in shape, having a 
blunt or rounded peak. Last Fall and Spring seed of Jersey 
Wakefield Cabbage sold readily for $10 and $12 per lb., owing to 
its scarcity. This season we are enabled to offer the same fine 
stockatthe following rates : 4i)c per oz., $5 per lb. 
During the past five years we have received hundreds of the most satisfactory testimonials from all parts of the country

It is the earliest of all Cauliflowers, and is without an equal for forcing during 
ter and Spring. Its dwarf habit of growth and closeness of outside leaves especially recommend it for this purpose.
