VEGETABLES — HABJOBAM. 1G3 



furled India. — This we consider to be by far tbe best 

 of the curled sorts for hot weather; it forms an immense 

 head, often 1G inches in diameter, and as solid as a Cab- 

 bage. 



Ne Plus I'ltra. — A new variety with plain leaves, which, 

 for the past two seasons, has proved particularly adapted 

 for bot weather ; it forms a large solid head, and is a very 

 tender sort. 



Paris Green f OS. — Although the Cos varieties of Let- 

 tuce are not so suitable for our climate, yet they are so 

 much superior in flavor, that they are occasionally grown 

 in early spring and tall for private use, tbougb I have 

 never seen them in our markets. In shape, they differ en- 

 tirely from the other varieties, the head being elongated 

 and of a conical form, 5 or 6 inches in diameter, and 8 or 

 9 inches in bight. The present variety is deep green. To 

 be had. in perfection, it requires to be tied up to ensure 

 blanching. 



Brown Cos. — Similar to the above, except in its outer 

 coloring, which is brownish-green. This variety is said to 

 have been cultivated in England for half a century, and is 

 still one of the favorite sorts. 



MAR JOE, AM. — Sweet. — {Origanum Marjoram.) 

 A well-known aromatic herb, grown to a considerable 

 extent for market purposes; but as it is of less impor- 

 tance than Thyme, which is grown very largely for sale, 

 the reader is referred to that head for all information re- 

 garding its culture, price, etc., as in these particulars they 

 are entirely identical.
