DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. 



Nonpareil. — A very superior variety, and in great demand by market 

 gardeners, many of whom will use no other sort. Heads, large, tender and 

 delicious. It is a sure header. 



CULTUR.E. — For the spring or summer CTop, sow the early varieties about 

 the middle of February, in a hot-bed, and transplant into the open air as soon 

 as the ground can be worked, in the spring. For the late autumn crop, sow the 

 late kinds about the middle of Spring, and transplant like winter Cabbages. In 

 dry weather, water freely, and as they advance in growth, hoe deep, and draw 

 earth to the stems. After they begin to head, they should be watered every 

 other day. On the approach of frost, those plants which have not headed, may 

 be set out in a cellar, where they can be aired in mild weather. In two or 

 three weeks the strongest will begin to form flower-heads, which will be very 

 tender and delicious.
