We made a very care- ful comparative test on our trial grounds of this variety last sum- mer, in compari- son with a number of other sorts, and can fully endorse all the claims made for it, ex- cepting we did not find it earlier than our strain of Ear- ly Summer. Cus- tomers also, so far as heard from, were well pleased with it. It is rightly called a thoroughbred sort on account of its remarkably uni- form size and shape, and its re- liability for head- ing. E ff o r t s in selecting stock seed have constantly been made with a view of securing the largest early heads with the fewest loose leaves. The deep flat heads are remarkably solid and uni- form in color as well as shape and size. The main features of a good Cabbage is tenderness, and in this respect it is not surpassed. While it is all that can be desired for earli- ness, it is also valuable as a late cabbage, if sown in July, and plants set out about the middle of August. Set plants 18 inches apart in rows, with three feet between the rows for cultivation, and 9,680 plants can be set on the acre, ninety- five per cent, of which, in an ordinary season, and with reasonable cultivation, will make good merchantable heads.
