The $ in cash prizes offered for the largest heads raised the past season was distributed as follows: $ to J. U. V.

Hall, Lower Sumas, British Columbia, for a head weighing 38 lbs. It well deserves the name WORLD-BEATER, for never before have we seen any Cab- bage that produces such uni- formly large heads or any very large Cabbage in which the heads were so hard and | solid. We predict that in a :; few years the Marblehead 1 Mammoth will be discarded, for not only is the WO R LD - BEATER fully as large, if not larger, but also it is uni- H| formly true to type and sure to head hard,—"solid as a ; The large, broad heads are very thick through, slightly rounded at the top; fine- grained and tender,—more so than any other large Cabbage. Stalk short, foliage compact, dark green with a purplish- brown tinge. It is a rapid grower, and does not require special culture to develop.
