On^of Uie evils to avoid in a Carrot is a hard, woody “ core.” In New York Market we have the mini¬

ice, and from its symmetrical shape and general appearance we are sure it will be found an admirable 
iriety to bunch for market, as well as being unexcelled for private use. (See exit.)

ABOUT 
HENDERSON’S “ EARLY SPRING. 
“ We have finished cutting the new Earl;/ Spring Cabbage, and must 
sag that it is the earliest of aU Jlat cabbages known to us. Every plant made 
a perfect head and a good size, averaging thirty-two heads to the crate. We 
y set this cabbage the same distance apart as the Early Summer. This was 
I wrong, for it has very little foliage and can be. groiun as dose as the Charleston 
Wakefield. ). e., about 13,5«»0 plants to the acre. It ivitl make one-third more 
of a crop and be just as early as the Wakefield. It has a double advantage for 
this section, being early and Jlat.” 
“ Your Early Spring Cabbage is all you claim , the very best very early cabbage 
I have planted in twenty years, everyone heading fine, notwithstanding they were 
cut down with the late frost. All my customers say, * Bring me some more Early 
Spring Cabbage.’ ” _ 
“ The Early Spring Cabbage is the finest I ever sato in this county. I had 
cabbage two weeks before any of my neighbors.” 
1 We benight one jacket of your Early Spring Cabbage lasl spring and 
considered them the finest early Cabbage we ever grew. They were about 
fi ve <lays ahead of the I Vake/ield.’ ’ 
• I have heads now of your Early Spring Cabbage that, weigh 
6 lbs., that were planted eleven weeks ago. Your Earhi Spring 
will take the place of the Wakefield or Charleston with me.” 
“ Your Early Spring Cabbage are oil that 
you advertise them to be. I had fine luck 
with them this spring 
ENDERSON S 
value lies in its being a First Early FLAT cabbage a^ type much 
ed over pointed heads by most people, and it will ifaddy be s=een that 
variety with all of the merits of Early Summer, only a tnfle smaller, 
hicli can bo cut as early as Jersey Wakefield, ^destined to> secure a 
prominent and lasting place among vegetables. The xanety is of Laily 
1 Summer type, but about one-fifth smaller, having only four or five 
outside leaves, and these so small and growing so neai to the head 
that it may be successfully planted twenty-one inches apart, 13,|00 
to the acre, as close as any variety we know of. lit pmsesses 
wonderful uniformity in shape, being round sbght y flattened at 
top of head. Stem is short and extends but httie mto the head, 
this feature is valuable, as it makes almost the entire head edible. 
The whole plant is finely bred; there is no suggestion of coarse¬ 
ness whatever; the veining of the leaves and leaf s j; en V^® £ ^ ° u ‘ 
larly fine, the whole head being perfect throughout, fheie is no 
cabbage we know of having a more solid head; but, added to this, 
it has the peculiarity of heading firmly at an eaily sta D e m its 
growth, so that the finest cabbage, 
though small, can be obtained long 
before it has attained its mature sine. 
It is entirely free from any rankness of 
flavor. Its uniformity in shape and large 
yield per acre renders it particularly valu¬ 
able for truckers, and its compact form and 
good quality will render it the finest Early 
cabbage for every private garden. (See cut.)
