FROGMORE EARLY FORCING. An old variety, 

 described by F. Burr, in 1866, as follows: "Stem 

 quite short, and plant of compact habit. The 

 heads are large and close, and their color clear and 

 delicate. Eecommended as one of the best for 

 forcing, as well as an excellent sort for early cul- 

 ture." 



In 1876, a writer in the Country Gentleman's 

 Magazine mentions it as the earliest variety grown, 

 to be followed by Early London. It is now, how- 

 ever, but little used. 



GERRY ISLAND. A variety said by Gregory to be 

 a very reliable header, closely resembling Early 

 Paris. At the Colorado experiment station in 1888, 

 it failed to head. 



GIANT MALTA. Said to be a large, fine variety, 

 with beautiful white heads of excellent flavor. 

 Though dwarf, it is late, requiring six months in 

 which to develop.
