VEGETABLES CABBAGE AND CAULIFLOWER. 149 



There lias been a want long felt by many of the market 

 gardeners and' truckers for a variety of Cabbage which 

 would come in after the Early Summer and before any of 

 the late sorts, but such a sort, with all the characteristics 

 of the Henderson's Early Summer, of standing without 

 bursting, of being later, and consequently larger, is hard 

 to obtain. Through the medium, however, of the same 

 good- friend who first brought to our notice the Hender- 

 son's Early Summer, Mr. Abraham Van Sicklen, of Long 

 Island, we think we will be able, within another year, to 

 present to the public a variety of Cabbage which will 

 exactly supply this long-felt want. That is, of a Cabbage 

 to succeed the Early Summer, being about two weeks 

 later than the average crop of that variety, larger, and 

 with all its good characteristics of standing in the field 

 without bursting and of regularity in habit, close grow- 

 ing and sure heading. I have not yet named this variety, 

 as I wish another season's test of it before deciding to 

 give it to the public ; but if it should prove itself during 

 another season as valuable as in the last two it will be a 

 decided acquisition. 



The raising of Cabbage, Cauliflower and Lettuce plants 

 will, for " wintered over" plants, be found under the 

 head of "Uses and Management of Cold Frames," and 

 for spring plants under the head of " Spring Raising of 

 Cabbage, Cauliflower and Lettuce Plants."

 depends on the condition of the plants ; it sometimes 

 happens that after the transplanting is finished to Octo- 

 ber (we usually begin the transplanting in the frames 

 about the 15th), that we have a continuation of com-
