Besides these, many other varieties might be added, which are 

 named according to the colour of the heads, their shape, &c. The 

 mode of their cultivation, value, and uses, are so well known, as not to 

 need here any notice, and the enormous size to which they are capable 

 of being produced by care and attention in their cultivation, is exem- 

 plified at almost every horticultural and agricultural exhibition.
