This Beet is remarkable for its smooth skin and fine shape. We have been growing it on our trial grounds for several years, and could not help noting its many desirable qualities. It is a second early variety, does not grow large and coarse, the matured beets being medium in size and rather oblong in shape. The flesh and skin are both very dark and quality fine, being sweet and tender. The tops are small and dark in color. We are confident that this Beet will please all who plant it.

A flat-headed Cabbage, fully as early in maturing as the well-known Early Jersey Wakefield; must prove extre- mely valuable both to the market gardener and amateur. This new variety is such a Cabbage, and will fill a long felt want. Six years ago an enterprising and careful Cabbage grower made a cross with a fine strain of early Jersey Wakefield on the well-known Succession Cabbage, and the result was the production of this new extra early flat-headed variety, which is now thoroughly fixed as to type. It ma- tures its large, flat heads fully as early as the Wakefield, and the quality is excellent. The heads are very solid and leaves tender, being entirely free from coarseness. The plants may be set as close in the field as the Wakefield, and can be de- pended
