Gardeners of the South ! 
A word to you who grow early vegetables for the markets of the 
great cities of the North. I have many customers in the South who 
are growing them very extensively, and a hint or two on varieties 
from the results of their experience may be of service to beginners. 
For an early Cucumber, earliness, size, symmetry of form and pre¬ 
sentable appearance after transportation all considered, you will find 
nothing superior to the Early White Spine. For an early Tomato, 
of the early sorts I would recommend Canada Victor (this stands 
shipping remarkably well), or Boston Market, or General Grant. 
When the hot season comes on there is loss from sun-burning 
under the extreme heat. At this season two characteristics are wanted 
in a good tomato : 1st, That it shall shield its fruit under a mass of 
leaves ; and 2d, That the roots shall be as far down in the cool earth as 
possible, and not near the hot surface. You will find the first desirable 
trait probably more fully developed in the Mexican Tomato than in any 
other sort, so my customers in Florida write me. The second desirable 
characteristic can be got probably with almost any variety by planting 
the seed where the tomato is to grow, as the roots will then naturally 
strike down and not spread out near the surface, as they do after suf¬ 
fering the pruning incidental to transplanting. 
For an early pea, very early, having a good sized pod and the crop 
ripening up together so as to get all of it at a single picking, I recom¬ 
mend, as the result of experience of customers, my Extra Early 
Dan O’Rourke. For an early string Bean, if an early sort with a long, 
round pod is wanted, I recommend Early Valentine ; for a hardy, early, 
but a most abundant cropper, admitting of several pickings, I recom¬ 
mend the Fejee Bean. For an early Watermelon of excellent shipping 
properties, I recommend Phinney’s Early, which is already raised on a 
large scale to supply the Northern markets. It may be well for you, 
before going to the great expense of raising or purchasing the costly 
setts to grow an Onion" crop, to first try on a small scale some of my 
black onion seed, grown in the extreme north, as some gardeners as far 
south as Texas have found that with this they could raise onions two 
inches in diameter the first year from the planting. 
Of Cabbages, my customers in the South rely on my Fottler and Mar¬ 
blehead Mammoth as giving them the largest and hardest heads of any 
kinds planted. With those who do not succeed with the Drumhead 
varieties, the Early Winnigstadt is a great favorite. Every gardener of 
experience knows when earliness is sought for, the farther north the 
seed he plants is grown, the better.
