This variety is unrivaled today, being pronounced by thousands of growers the surest heading and best main crop cabbage.

VOLGA or STONE HEAD. A variety lately in- troduced from Russia. It is strong and hardy, invariably producing a crop. The heads are large, round and perfectly solid. Few outside leaves and does not crack. The flesh is firm, tender and white: most desirable for kraut as well as for all other purposes. It is about two weeks earlier in maturing than the other late main sorts. We predict this cabbage will iead all others as a main crop variety when better known.

Jones of the University of Wisconsin. At Racine, Wisconsin, where for several years many of the commercial crops of cabbage were badly infected or entirely destroyed by the disease called the yellows this strain has proven to be practically immune from attack. The disease resistant properties of this variety, however, apply only to that known as the 'yellows' and no claim is made that it is less susceptible to other forms of disease such as Black Rot, Black Leg or Club Root than other sorts. Although showing considerable varia- tion in type the plants resemble Hollander but are larger and more leafy and spreading. The heads are round or somewhat flattened and retain to a remarkable degree the solidity and excellent keeping qualities of the Hollander.
