Extra Early Jersey Wakefield 
We have bred it for years and feel safe in saying our strain today 
is vastly superior to the old parent stock. The heads are uniformly 
hard and solid. They are pyramidal in form, generally pointed at Hhe 
end, with but few outside leaves. The outer leaves are usually thick 
and heavy, and it is thereby enabled to stand more cold weather than 
any other sort without injury when carried through the winter, either 
in the open ground in the South or in cold frames in the North.

weighing ordinarily from 10 to 15 lbs. each. Of very fine quality, solid,

use and one of the best keepers. We recommend Surehead for the home
