Early Drumhead Cabbage. Improved Early Summer 
Improved Early Summer. This cabbage is of recent intro- 
duction. It is not quite so large as the Brunswick, but earlier; for 
fall it can be sown in August; for spring, in November and as late as 
January. It heads up very uniform and does not produce many out- 
side leaves. It.is hardierthan the Brunswick, and stands the cold and 
heat better. The seed I offer is of the best strain cultivated, and can’ 
be planted closer together than the late varieties, say about 8000 to 
the acre. I can recommend it very highly. 
Improved Large Late Drumbhead. Fine large variety ; 
should be sown early in the fall for winter, or during December and 
January for late spring use; it will stand more cold weather than the 
Brunswick. - 
Superior Late Flat Dutch. This is the most popular variety 
for winter cabbage, and cultivated by almost every gardener who 
plants for the New Orleans market. My stock is of superior quality, 
and I venture to say that seventy-five per cent. of all cabbage 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 be frequently seen. In regard tothe time of planting see 
remarks under head of cabbage, in the directions for planting for July. 
T 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 pickling or salads. Very little 
cultivated. 
Green Globe Savoy. Medium sized heads, not very hard, but 
all the leaves can be used. This andthe following varieties are of fine 
flavor, and preferred by many over the other varieties. 
Early Dwarf Savoy. Heads rather small, but solid; leaves 
very curled and succulent, of a dark greencolor. Very fine for family 
garden. 
Drumhead Savey. Leaves are wrinkled, but not quite so 
much as the two foregoing kinds. It grows toa good size with large 
roundish heads.
