56 CABBAGES, HOW TO GROW THEM, ETC. 



Blenheim. Early ; heads mostly conical ; of good 

 size. 



Shillings Queen. Early ; heads conical ; stumps 

 long. 



Carter's Superfine Early Dwarf. Surpasses in 

 earliness and hardness of head all the early, long head- 

 ed sorts, Little Pixie, to which it is evidently closely 

 allied, perhaps excepted. 



Enfield Market Improved. Most of the heads 

 were flat ; rather wild ; not to be compared with Fottler. 



Kemp's Incomparable. Long headed ; heads 

 when mature do not appear to burst as readily as with 

 most of the conical class. 



Fielderkraut. Closely resembles Winnigstadt, with 



larger and longer heads and stunip ; requires more room 

 than Winnigstadt. 



Ramsay's Winter Drumhead . Closely resem- 

 bles St. Dennis ; I think it is the same. 



Pomeranian Cabbage. Heads very long ; quite 

 large for a conical heading sort ; very symmetrical and 

 hard ; color yellowish green. It handles well, and I 

 should think would prove a good keeper. Medium early. 



Alsacian Drumhead. Stump long ; late : wild. 



Marbled Bourgogne. Stump long ; heads small 

 and hard ; color a mixture of green and red. 



CABBAGE GREENS. 



In the vicinity of our large cities, the market garden- 

 ers sow large areas very thickly with cabbage seed, early 

 in the Spring, to raise young plants to be sold as greens. 

 The seed is sown broadcast at the rate of ten pounds 

 and upwards to the acre. Seed of the Savoy cabbage
