Of the early varieties of Cabbage, in latitudes where the thermometer never indicates 20 degrees below the 
freezing point, seed may be sown in the open border in October, and transplanted on the first opening of 
spring; but in our Northern States they must either be sown in hot-beds in February or wintered over in cold 
frames; for this purpose the seed is sown from the 10th to the 20th of September. Attention to date is important ; 
—_ = if too soon the plants might run to seed, and if too late they would be too small. In four or five weeks from the 
““DALKEITH”’? BRUSSELS SPROUTS. time of sowing they will be fit to transplant into the cold frames. In planting, it is very important with Cab- 
m5 
bage or Cauliflower, that the plant is set down to the first leaf, so that the stem is 
all under ground, for, if exposed, it will be split by the action of the frost, and will be 
injured in consequence. The plants are usually set out from the middle of March 
to the middle of April, in rows about two feetapart, and eighteen inches between the 
plantsin rows. This earliest crop matures in June, For second early the early 
kinds should be sown first week in April and planted outinMay. Thiscrop should 
mature in July and August. The late varieties are usually sown in the early part of 
May and the plants are set in July at distances of three feet between the rows, and 
two feet between the plants. This crop matures September, October or November.

= SAVOY CABBAGE. = 
We desire to eall special attention to this class, all of the varie- 
ties enumerated below being of much finer flavor and quality than 
the best of other Cabbages. ‘They are particularly adapted for 
private use, where quality rather than quantity is desired. 
Grown in fall and allowed to be touched by frost, it is one of the 
most delicious of all vegetables. 
NETTED SAVOY. This is the finest of the Savoy class, and a 
general favorite. Heads large, very solid and compact, of a 
yellowish green color, and, like all other of the Savoy varieties, 
is of excellent flavor, far surpassing that of any other late Cab- 
bage. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz.,

RED DUTCH. Used almost exclusively for pickling. Itis one of the hardiest of all 
Cabbages, and when preserved as directed in ‘ Gardening for Profit” will keep till very 
late in the season. It is slow to mature, however, and requires a rich soil for its per- 
fect development. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. 14 Ib., $2.50 Ib. 
MAMMOTH ROCK RED. The Mammoth Rock Red is a large growing and selected 
strain of late Red Cabbage. The heads will average 12lbs. each. (See cut.) 10c. pkt.,
