CABBAGE. Sra'&sica olera'cea, 



Varieties. But few should be planted 

 of the early varieties, as they soon harden 

 and burst; but tbe Large York, and others 

 that are mentioned in the middle clas, 

 though not far behind the others in quick 

 cabbaging, continue long in a state fi t for 

 the table. 



For First Crops. T&T\y Dwarf, Early 

 Fine York, Early Dwarf Sugar - Loaf, 

 Battersea, Imperial, East Earn. 



Midsummer Crops. Large Early York, 

 Large Sugar-Loaf, Wheeler's Nonpareil, 

 Atkinson's Matchless, Shilling's Queen. 

 Penton this is valuable in late summer, 

 when other varieties are strongly tasted. 

 Antwerp, Russian to have this in per- 

 fection, the seed must be had from abroad, 

 as it soon degenerates in this country. 

 Early London Hol^v. Musk is excel- 

 lent at any period, but is apt to perish in 

 frosty weather. Couve Tronchuda; for 

 its leaves and stalks used as sea-kale. 



For Autumn Crops. Pomeranian, 

 Large Hollow Sugar-Loaf, Large Oblong 

 Hollow, Long-sided Hollow, and any of 

 the preceding. Pied Dutch for pickling 

 (B. olera'cea ru'bra}. Large Round Win- 

 ter, Great Drumhead. Great Pound 

 Scotch, or Strasburg, employed for sour 

 krout in January. 



Times of Sowing. Some gardeners sow 

 almost monthly, and employ many varie- 

 ties ; but we only employ Wheeler's Non- 

 pareil, Shilling's Queen, and Atkinson's 

 Matchless, of one of which a sowing 

 should be made about the 21st- of July ; 

 for final planting out, early in September ; 

 many plants of which will be turning in 

 between Michaelmas and Christmas, and 

 in early spring. The second and most 

 general time of sowing, to raise plants 

 for almost the whole year's supply, and of 

 any kind, including the Red JDutch and 

 its varieties, is from the 6th to the 12th
