Copenhagen Market 
Copenhagen Market—It is undoubtedly without a 
rival as the finest large round-headed early Cabbage 
in cultivaton. The heads, maturing all at the same 
time, average about ten pounds each in weight, and 
are very solid, with small core and of fine quality. 
The plant is short-stemmed, the heads being produced 
almost on the ground level. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c. 
| GOLDEN ACRE 
Golden Acre—It is very uniform, almost every head 
could be cut at the same time. The head is of medium 
size, quite round, and is surrounded by a few small 
outer leaves. It is very firm and fully equal to any of 
the late sorts in this respect. On account of its hard- 
ness it will stand in the field for a month or more BALLHEAD

CAULIFLOWER 
Cultivation—The main thing in growing good Cauliflowers is to rush them on quickly, and never allow them 
to be checked in their growth; in dry weather they should be copiously watered, especially if just planted out. 
Sow in seed beds; and when large enough, transplant in rows two feet apart and eighteen inches between the 
plants. Hill up between the rows, and keep the ground well cultivated. Summer and autumn are the best sea- 
sons to sow. The later varieties are very much the hardiest, and will often make good heads under circum- 
stances which would cause the early varieties to “button.’’ The early sorts mature in three to four months, the 
later ones five to eight months. ,
