World Beater—We olYor this year, for Llic lirst time, this new and, remarkable aecinisition to the garden. This new variety is the result of several years careful selection and crossing of some of the leading varieties of late cab- bages l)y a famous eastern gar- dener. His efforts have been re- warded by the production of a cabbage that is a wonder to every- one who sees it. Not only is it a marvel in size, l.)Ut in (jnality and flavor as well.

Has but a few outsi(le leaves, and can be re- lie<l upon to produce more pounds of salable cabbage, on this ac- count, than any other variety. ^ . the world beater.

It is very tender and of fine flavor.—J Editor Post:—We see in the Post of the 10th inst., notice of a large cabbage measuring 3 feet in circumference. I this day measured what we think is our largest, and it is just 47 inches, clean, solid goods, and weighs 26 pounds. Lots of 3G and 40 circumferences and from 18 to 20 pounders. Respectfully, F- M.
