CABBAGES, HOW TO GROW THEM, ETC. 45 



The following are the standard American varieties of 

 cabbage; Early Wakefield, Early Wyman, Crane's 

 Early, Cannon Ball, Early Low Dutch, Premium 

 Flat Dutch, Stone Mason, Large Late Drumhead, 

 Marblehead Mammoth Drumhead, American Green 

 Glazed, Fottler's Drumhead, Bergen Drumhead, 

 Drumhead Savoy, and American Green Globe Savoy. 

 All of these varieties as I have previously stated are but 

 improvements of foreign kinds ; but they are so far im- 

 proved through years of careful selection and cultivation, 

 that as a rule they appear quite distinct from the origi- 

 nal kinds when grown side by side with them, and this 

 distinction is more or less recognized in both English 

 and American catalogues by the adjective " American" 

 or " English" being added after varieties bearing the 

 same name.
