NEW EARLY SPRING CABBAGE. This new variety sent out by Mr. Henderson, of New York is a round flat-headed extra early Cabbage, com- ing in with the Wakefield and yielding more than any other extra early variety. Every head as uniform as if moulded, and remarkably solid even when young. Few and small outside leaves, small veins, fine texture and delicate flavor. Having compact heads, with few out- side leaves, can be planted twenty-one inches apart, making over 13,000 to the acre. If this variety proves to be what the introducer claims for it, it will be a most valuable variety to gardeners and private growers. Price per pkt, 8 cts., 3 pkts. 20 cts., oz. 35 COLUMBIA BEET. The handsome appearance of this new Beet is well shown in the illustration. The roots are of a neat turnip-shape, with smooth skin and deep blood-red flesh, of rich, tender quality. It is ready to use very earJy, growing as quickly as does the Egyptian, while it does not become coarse and stringy. Compared with such famous sorts as Edmand's and Eclipse, the Columbia has proved as early and even better in quality than these two really first-class varieties. In habit of growth it is remarkably thoroughbred, the foliage being small, neat, and of a rich bronze color. We are sure that market gardeners will find it a splendid variety, while its fine flavor as a table beet will delight all private planters.
