Art. III. Notices of Culinary Vegetables, new or recently 

 introduced, worthy of general cultivation in -private gar- 

 dens, or for the market. By the Editor. 



We continue our notices of new vegetables. Our last ar- 

 ticle appeared last season (Vol. X, p. 96,) when we gave an 

 account of several new peas and cabbages. During the last 

 year or two, a variety of new vegetables have been brought 

 into notice, and several of them have been recommended as 

 great improvements upon the older kinds ; some, which we 

 have tried ourselves, we have tested to be very superior pro- 

 ductions. 



Peas. Flack's Dwarf Victory. — Among the new kinds 

 which were noticed last season, was one called Flack's Vic- 

 tory. This has proved to be a very fine pea, an improve- 

 ment upon the Blue Imperial, and we can highly recom- 

 mend it. 



Prince Albert is now established as the earliest variety in 

 cultivation, and must take the place of all others for the first 

 sowing. 



Among the new kinds of the present year, is one called 

 Waiters Queen of Dwarfs, which is stated to be three times 

 the size of any other dwarf pea in cultivation. 



Cauliflowers. — The varieties of the cauliflower have been 

 greatly improved within a few years, and now not less than 

 a dozen kinds are found in the catalogues ; the most noted 

 are the following: — 



Walcherin. — A new variety, producing large, compact, 

 lily-white heads, of a most delicious flavor, perfectly hardy 

 [in England] requiring no hand glasses ; it not only produces 

 a better quality, but a much larger quantity on the same 

 space of ground as the old kinds of cauliflower. This is the 

 account given of this variety, and we recommend a trial of it.
