Early Snowball
A variety held in great estimation by market gardeners, for its earliness and reliability as a sure header. Tested with several other varieties, it has proved to be as early, if not earlier than any other sort.

Early Walcheren
An excellent variety, vigorous and hardy, and well adapted to our climate. Stem short; leaves rather pointed and serrated. It not only resists the cold in winter, but the drought in summer, better than many sorts.

Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt
An extra early variety and the sort so much prized in Germany for early market use. Scarcely a plant fails to produce a good head. If planted first of March, heads nine inches to one foot in diameter will be produced early in June, in which month the whole crop can be marketed. It is of dwarf habit, compact growth, short outside leaves, and can be planted 20 inches apart each way. Highly recommended for early market and family use, and we think can be entirely relied upon, as the seed is selected with extra care, by one of the most careful growers in Germany.

Veitch's Autumn Giant
An extremely valuable late variety, entirely distinct from any other sort. The heads are very large, beautifully white, firm and compac, and being well protected by foliage, remain a long time fit for use. The plants should be started and transplanted early in the season, to insure their full development.
