ENDERSONS Charleston or Large Wakefield. THE BEST LARGE EARLY CABBAGE. Several years ago, our customers requested us to procurefor them, if possible, a Cabbage which had all the character-istics of the Early Jersey Wakefield, but of greater size. Withthis in view, we carefully selected from one of our best stocksof Wakefield a larger type, which is so fixed in its characterthat it is now largely grown by those desiring a Cabbage ofthis kind. This selection will average about 50 per cent largerin size than the old type of Wakefield, and is only a few dayslater. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 90c. i lb., $3.25 lb. Your Charleston Wakefield is one of the best and largest Early Cabbages Iever grew. AARON GRUBB, Palmyra, Pa.

It is a sure, solidheader, always producing a crop of large, uniform heads whichseldom burst. It is extensively grown in all sections of thecountry, and is everywhere successful. It has the peculiarityof heading firmly at an early stage in its growth, so that thefinest Cabbage, though small, can be obtained long before it hasattained its mature size. Its shape and
