The first column contaic? the early sorts, \^hich may be raised as 

 follows : Sow the seed iu well-prepared ground, about the 15th of Sep- 

 tember. When the plants are large enough to transplant, pick them 

 out of the seed bed, into frames. Protect the plants during severe 

 weather, with a covering of boards, observing to give them plenty of 

 air and light during mild weather. Large plants are liable to run to 

 seed, should the winter be mild. Make rather two sowings and select 

 sinall but stocky plants. They may also be raised by sowing the seed 

 very early in the spring, in hot-beds — afterwards plant out in deep and 

 well-manui-ed ground, in rows two feet apart. 



The autumn and winter sorts, sc>w in April or early in May, in a 

 moderately shaded border, in shallow drills, three or four inches apart. 



Transplant early in July, in rows thirty inches apart. Cabbage suc- 

 ceeds l:>est in a fresh, rich soil, well manured and deeply dug or plowed. 

 The late plants are subject to attacks of the cabbage fly. destroying thera 

 as fast as they appear above ground. Various remedies are recommended 

 for the preservation of the plants, such as sprinkling them with wood- 

 ashes, air-slack lime, plaster, or tobacco, which shotild be performed 

 early in the morning. 



The Oxheart and .Jersey Wakefield varieties are grown largely for the 

 Philadelphia markets, having nearly superseded the York and Sugar 

 Loaf, the former liieing quite as early and producing much larger heads, 

 the latter coming in at once after the Oxheart has been cut. The Phila- 

 delphia Flat Dutch and Drumhead are the favorite late varieties. We 

 flatter ourselves on having a pure and superior stock of these sorts.

Sow for early about the middle of September, in a bed of clean rich 

 earth. Trans]dant in frames and cover with sashes and shutters during 

 severe weather, giving them light and air every mild day. 



Transplant in the spring as soon as the frost leaves the ground into a 

 bed of the richest eaith.lwo and a half feet apart. Keep them well 

 hoetl and bring the earth gradually up to their stems. The Cauliflower 

 succeetls best when planted in frames at the close of winter, and brouarht 

 ~Xo maturity l>efore the stimmer heat sets in. The late variety matures 

 in the autumn, and is sown and managed similarly to Cape Broccoli. 



The Early Dwarf Erfurt and Short-stem Le "Xormands are grown 

 largely for this market.
