THE CAMPAIGN IN SEPTEMBER. 199 



As to the best varieties for wintering over, the 

 Jersey Wakefield is the favorite around New 

 York. I have had very good success with 

 it. The head is of fair size, and the outer 

 leaves are so few that it requires but little room, 

 and can be set two feet apart each way, or even 

 a little closer if ground is scarce. The Early 

 York matures as quickly, but is nothing like 

 as large, and the Wakefield, if abundant, would 

 drive it from the market. When the Early Ox 

 Heart heads well, it is superior in quality to 

 the others. As a succession coming into 

 market two or three weeks later than the 

 kinds named, the early Flat Dutch and the 

 Winningstadt can be recommended. The lat- 

 ter is a very large, solid cabbage, and one 

 that can be depended on in good soil. For a 

 village or local market, we would not advi c e 

 the gardener to go largely into cauliflower, for 

 the majority, in the country will not pay much
