StCTiON SHOWING THE SOliDiTy OFHEABANO 5MALLNE55 OF CORE A new and entirely distinct round, late Cabbage known. This Cabbage was originated by Mr. Geo. W. Houser, one of the most successful market-gardeners, near Harrisburg, Pa., and our stock of seed is grown by Mr. J. M. Lupton, the noted cabbage grower of Long Island J The heads are large, weighing, on an average, 10 to 12 pounds.
