Frotscher’s Superior Late Flat Dutch. 
Zersey Wakefield. Very popular in the North, but little 
planted here. It is of medium size and heads up well. 
Early Flat Dutch. An intermediate variety between the early 
pointed and late varieties. It is not, on an average, as heavy as the 
Oxheart or Winningstadt, but, if raised for the market, more salable 
on account of being fiat. Very good variety for family use. 
Early DBrumhead. A similar variety to the above; a little 
earlier,and not making as many leaves it can be planted close. A 
good early spring cabbage. 
Large Fiat Brunswick. This is alate German variety, intro- 
duced by me about nineteen yearsago. It is an excellent variety, and 
when well headed up the shape of it is a true type of a Premium Flat 
Dutch Cabbage. It requires very rich ground, and should be sown 
early, as it is a little more susceptible of frost than the Superior Flat 
Dutch. Itis well adapted for shipping, being very hard, and does not 
wilt so quick as others. At Frenier, along the Jackson Railroad, this 
is the kind principally planted, and is preferred over all other varié- 
ties. The people living there plant nothing else except cabbage, 
and have tried nearly all highly recommended varieties, and this 
is their choice. At that place the seeds are sown in October and Novem-
