Columbian Mammoth White —We be¬ 
lieve this to be the most distinct and 
valuable variety in cultivation. Not 
only are the stalks of the largest size, 
but they are produced abundantly and 
very early. They are clear white and 
remain so, in favorable weather, until 
three or four inches above the surface. 
The crown or bud of the young stalk is 
considerably smaller than the part just 
below it; thus still further distinguish¬ 
ing the variety. Wherever known this 
sort commands an extra price, not only 
on a fancy market but from canners, 
who find that when put up, under a 
special brand, it sells so readily at a high 
price as to warrant them paying the 
grower an extra price for it. From ten 
to twenty per cent, of the plants grown 
from seed will produce green shoots, 
but these plants can be readily distin¬ 
guished and rejected when setting the 
permanent bed. Lb.$2; oz.20c.; pkt.lOc. 
All Head Early—A new variety 
in which the plants are more 
compact, the leaf smoother 
and thicker, and the heads 
rounder, harder and more 
uniform in shape than the 
Early Summer. Certainly a 
good variety, which promises 
to become very popular. Lb.

Improved Danish Ballhead 
Winter —The favorite Cab¬ 
bage of Denmark, and ship¬ 
ped in immense quantities to 
London and other large cities 
where it commands a Wgh 
price. In season about the 
same time as Fottler’s Bruns¬ 
wick ; heads globular in 
shape, of medium size, and 
remarkably hard and heavy.
