EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT.--This is the best strain for general
use; there are usually two or more grades of this offered in seed
catalogues, but the best should always be purchased, even if you can
only buy a single packet; by taking extra care of it you can make every
seed count. This variety is quite early, has short stems, and makes
good-sized heads of the best quality.

EARLY SNOWBALL.--This variety is quite early and makes fine
large heads, of handsome appearance.
BURPEE’S BEST EARLY.--I have only grown this one season, but
found it all that it was represented in earliness and good heading
quality. Owing to a drouth early in the spring, the heads were not of
large size; the quality was fine, and I think it bids fair to be one of
the leading varieties.
