It forms an immense solid head, and under favorable conditions of soil and sufficient moisture often reaches a weight of 30 pounds. The interior is white and very solid, and we would class it as a second early, much used for late planting. Splendid for sauer-kraut on account of its large size and fine white interior quality.

It will mature at least 7 days ahead of the earliest strains of Jersey Wakefield, considered the standard Early of the country. The heads of Golden Acre Cabbage are perfectly round, firm, and of exceptionally fine texture, heavy mid-ribs being entirely absent. They average in weight about 4 pounds and produce very few outer leaves, permitting close planting in the row.

The head is long and compact, and all but the outer leaves blanch a creamy white. Very crisp and tender, and in every way adapted to the home garden. We have re- cently secured a much improved strain and recommend a trial. Pkt. 10c; \ oz. 25c; oz
