Solid South, from T. W. Wood & Sons, strongly resembles Early Summer, and 

 equals it in every way except that it is a few days later. It would be a good 

 substitute for some of the small early varieties. 



Volunteer, Rawson, produced the largest heads among the early sorts, but did not 

 reach maturity quite as soon. The plants are rank growers and have short, stiff 

 stems. The foliage is bright green, with a bluish tint, thick and leathery, lapping 

 well over the heads. The heads are compact, tender, crisp and have a very mild, 

 desirable flavor. 



Among the medium sorts, the only ones not previously described were six varie- 

 ties received from the Department of Agriculture. Wasliiugton, D. C. Nos. 1, 3 

 and 6 grew more like Brussels Sprouts, forming several heads at the base of the 

 leaves. The stems were long and on some plants there were six or eight heads 

 about two inches in diameter, besides the larger head at the upper end of the stem. 

 The heads were very solid, mild flavored, and had a sparse amount of foliage. 



Nos. 2, 4 and 5 had tlie same tendency, but simply threw out small tufts of 

 leaves from the sides of the stems. The terminal heads on these plants were larger, 

 but about the same in quality. None of the varieties seemed to be true to any 

 S])ecial type, and unless further trial should show decided improvements, they are 

 of little value.
