sold in the New Orleans market are of seeds 
which have been obtained from my store. 
During winter and spring, specimens which 
are brought as samples to my establishment, 
weighing from fifteen to twenty-five pounds, 
can frequently be seen. In regard to the time 
of planting, see remarks under head of ‘‘Cab- 
bage”’ in the directions for planting for July. 
I have tried seed of the Flat Dutch from dif- 
ferent growers, but have found none yet to 
equal the stock I have been selling for years, 
and which is raised for me by contract. 
Crescent City Fiat Dutch. This 
variety I have been selling for the past few 
years under the name of No.1. Itis the most 
uniform heading cabbage suitable for this 
section; heads are large and solid. Itis about 
two weeks earlier than my Superior Late Flat 
Dutch. Recommend same highly. 
Stein’s Early Flat Dateh Cab- 
bage. This is one of the earliest cabbages 
for its size. The demand for the seed has 
increased almost double since last year. It is 
a sure header, very regular and well adapted 
for shipping. It is planted exclusive of all 
other kinds, by some of the largest cabbage 
erowers in this vicinity. 
Red Dutch. Mostly used for pickling 
or salads. Very little cultivated. 
Green Globe Savoy. Medium sized 
heads, not very hard, but all the leaves can 
be used. This and the following varieties are 
of fine flavor, and preferred by many over the 
other kinds. 
Harly Dwarf Savoy. Head rather 
small but solid; leaves very curled and suc- 
culent; of a dark green color. Very fine for 
family garden. 
Drumhead Savoy. Leaves are 
wrinkled, but not quite so much as the two 
foregoing kinds. It grows to a good size with 
large roundish heads. 
St. Denis, or Chou Bonneuii. 
This was, at one time, one of the most popu- 
lar varieties grown for this market, but during 
the past few years has not done so well as 
formerly, and is, therefore, planted very little 
now. It does better for spring than for fall. 
Should be sown in November. 
Succession. This cabbage is of recent 
introduction; it resembles the German Bruns- 
wick; but not quite so large, it is of same 
season. It heads up very regularly and uni- 
form; should be planted same time as the 
Karly Summer and Brunswick for a Spring 
crop. 
CAULIFLOWER. 
CHOUFLEUR (Fr.), BLUMENKOHL (Ger.), CoLIFLoR (Sp.). 
Extra Early Paris. 
Half Early Paris. 
Early Erfurt. 
Le Normands (short-stemmed ). 
Early Italian Giant. 
Late Italian Giant. 
Large Algiers. 
Early Snowball. 
This is one of the finest vegetables grown, and succeeds well in the vicinity of New 
Orleans. 
Large quantities are raised on the sea coast in the neighborhood of Barataria Bay. 
The two Italian varieties are of excellent quality, growing to a large size, and are considered 
hardier than the German and French kinds.
