Early Drumhead Cabbage. 
head of ‘‘Cabbage”’ in the directions for 
planting for July. I have tried seed of 
the Flat Dutch from different growers, 
but have found none yet to equal the 
stock I have been selling for years, and 
which is raised for me by contract. 
Red Dutch. Mostly used for pick- 
ling or salads. Very little cultivated. 
Green Glebe Savoy. Medium 
sized heads, not very hard, but all the 
leaves can be used. This and the fol- 
lowing varieties are of fine flavor, and 
preferred by many over the other kinds. 
Early Dwarf Savoy. Headsrather 
small, but solid; leaves very curled 
and succulent; 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. Itgrowstoa good 
size with large roundish heads. 
Large Flat Brunswick.

Improved Early Summer. 
St. Denis, or Chou Bonneuil. 
This was, at one time, one of the most 
_ popular varieties grown for this market, 
but during the past few years has not 
done so well as formerly, and is, there- 
fore, planted very little now.% It wants 
good ground and high cultivation. It 
does better for spring than for fall. 
Should be sown in November. 
Excelsior. There are several varie- 
ties called by this name. What I offer 
is a second early variety; light green 
color, but few outside leaves and a large 
roundish head. It is not as hardy as 
the Superior Flat Dutch, and does ex- 
cellently when planted for the spring. 
Seeds sown last season as late as Jan- 
uary, produced fine, large heads. It 
stands the heat better than the: Bruns- — 
wick. This variety, the Brunswick and 
Early Summer, are the best to plant for 
shipping in the spring.
