City Flat Dutch. 
Crescent 
- Crescent City Flat Dutch. This variety 
has been solid under the name of No. 1. 
Tt is the most uniform heading cabbage, 
suitable for this section; heads are large 
and solid. About two weeks earlier than 
the Superior Large Late Flat Dutch. Re- 
commend the same highly. 
Early Flat Dutch. An _ intermediate 
kind 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 suit- 
able on account of being flat. Very good 
variety for family use. 
Danish Ball Head—(Hollander). This 
extra hard-heading variety originated in 
Denmark. It is the medium-sized, hard 
white that is received from abroad dur- 
ing the early spring months, and even 
after the long journey arrives in splendid 
condition. It is a medium or late va- 
riety, used mostly as a winter cabbage. 
Frotscher’s Superior Large Late Flat Dutch. 
Sure Head—(Genuine Stock from the 
Originator). Remarkable for its certain- 
ty to head. Produces very large, flattened 
heads, weighing from ten to fifteen 
pounds; very uniform and firm. 
Frcetscher’s Superior Large Late Flat 
Nutch. This is the most popular variety 
for winter cabbage, and cultivated by al- 
most every gardener who plants for the 
New Orleans market. Heads are large 
and sclid, often weighing from 15 to 25 
pounds. In regard to the time of plant- 
ing, see remarks; under the head cf “Cab- 
bage”’ in the directions for planting for 
July. We heve tried seed of the Flat 
Dutch from different growers, but have 
found none yet to equal the stock which 
is raised for us by contract.
