St. Denis or Chou BonneuU. 



Jersey "Wakefield, very popular in the Xorth, but little planted 

 here ; it is of medium size and heads up well. 



Early Flat Dutch. An intermediate Yariety between the early 

 pointed and late varieties ; it is not, on average, as heav}- as the Oxheart. 

 or Winningstadt, but if raised for the market more salable on account 

 of being flat. 



L.arg:e Flat Brunswick. This is a late German variety, intro-

 It is well adapted for shipping, being ver^' hard and does not wilt so

 Orleans market, and have tried nearly all highly recommended varie- 

 ties, and this is their choice. 



Fotler's Improved Brunswick. This is similar to the Large 

 Flat Brunswick, but somewhat later, and not so regular in shape. The

Large Late Drumhead. Fine large variety, should be sown 

 early in fall for winter, or during December and January for late spring 

 use : it will stand more cold weather than the foregoing variety. 



Superior L.ate Flat Dutch. This is the most popular variety for 

 winter cabbage, and cultivated by almost everj.* gardener who plants for 

 the Xew Orleans market. My stock is of superior qualtity and I venture
