THE CAULIFLOWER ON PUGET SOUND. 151 



GIANT NAPLES. Described as synonymous with 

 Veitch's Autumn Giant, by Vilmorin, in 1883, but he 

 now catalogues it as a separate variety, similar to 

 Veitch's Autumn Giant, but later. It is doubtless 

 the original, of which the Autumn Giant is a 

 slightly improved form. M. May said of Giant 

 Naples, in 1880: "Very similar to Algiers, a little 

 taller stem, and more fully developed foliage. 

 Highly esteemed in Italy and Algeria. Requires 

 the same culture as Algiers." 



GILT EDGE EARLY SNOWBALL (Thorburn). This 

 American variety was reported by the Pennsyl- 

 vania experiment station in 1888, as having done 

 well and formed good heads, free from intermixed 

 leaves, where nearly all other sorts failed. " It is a 

 superior selected strain of Early Snowball which 

 originated on Long Island and is of the same type 

 as the best strain of imported Dwarf Erfurt." 

 (Johnson & Stokes, 1891). 



GRANGE'S AUTUMN A variety mentioned in the 

 Gardener's Chronicle, in 1870, as earlier and in- 

 ferior to Veitch's Autumn Giant. 



HAAGE'S EARLY GERMAN. Said by Wolfner and 

 Weisz, of Vienna, to be an excellent short- stemmed 

 variety for the open ground. 



HAAGE'S DWARF. Said by Wolfner and Weisz, 

 of Vienna, to have large, compact heads, which 

 keep long in good condition.
