VOLGA.—This new . 
aspirant for public favor 
is without exception, the 
nearest approach to per¬ 
fection of any variety 
grown. It had its origin 
ten years ago, in Russia; 
of a dozen or more plants 
grown from a sample 
package first received 
from that country, every 
one formed a solid head; 
from this lot six of the 
best were selected for 
seed; these were given 
same care as were given 
all other sorts, saving 
the seed product which 
was given a cruqial test 
the next season?-the sec¬ 
ond generation was a de¬ 
cided improvement over 
the first, and from this 
trial another selection 
for seed purposes was 
made with the same re¬ 
sults; a third generation 
was so pleasing that one- 
half acre was planted in 
the summer of 1902, not 
one plant of which fail¬ 
ed to produce a perfect 
head; all of this crop of 
seed was saved for seed 
purposes and the variety 
first ottered in the sea- 
son of 1903; the principal points of superiority are as vnTO , 
follows: 1st, uniformity; in one field of three acres there 1 
was not a single plant thrown out or that showed in any EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD.—This is no doubt
