80 CABBAGES. 



solid head, nearly flat on top, stem short, color pale 

 green. It is the most profitable variety that we cul- 

 tivate for Fall or Winter use. As it has but few 

 outside leaves when the head is ripe, it does not win- 

 ter as well as the Bergen with some growers. 



Laege Late Beegen. — The Bergen forms a large, 

 rather round head, and very solid. It needs richer 

 ground and more room than the Flat Dutch, as the 

 leaves, when half-grown, are large and spreading. 

 This variety should not be planted closer than two 

 feet and a half each way ; while the Flat Dutch may 

 be the same distance between the rows, and only two 

 feet apart in the row. Both kinds are of good quality. 



Stone-Mason. — The Stone-Mason has a small, firm 

 head, of good quality. In Northern localities it is 

 not in any way superior to the early Flat Dutch, and 

 it is too small to be grown for market. 



Detjmhead Savoy. — This variety is decidedly the 

 best of the Savoys, either for market or the kitchen- 

 garden. The head is large, solid, and the quality 

 good. It is preferred by many to any other kind of 

 Cabbage for Winter use. In planting, our custom is 

 to plant one-eighth of the whole Savoys, and seven- 

 eighths Flat Dutch. 



Geeen Globe. — This is a small variety, only 

 grown in the kitchen-garden. The head is small, 

 the leaves quite wrinkled, and the color green. 



Red Dutch. — The demand for this variety is 

 limited, as it is only used for pickling. It should be 

 planted early in June, as it grows slowly, requires a 

 long season to mature, and richer ground than the 

 other Fall kinds.
