GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



4-5 



Improved Large Late Drumhead. 



Improved Large Late Drumhead. Fine 

 large variety; should be sown early in the 

 fall for winter, or during December and Jan- 

 uary for late spring use; it will stand more 

 cold than the Brunswick. 



Frotscher's Superior Large Late Flat 

 Dutch. This is the most popular variety for 

 winter cabbage, and cultivated by almost 

 every gardener who plants for the New Or- 

 leans market. Heads are large and solid, 

 often weighing from 15 to 25 pounds. In re- 

 gard to the time of planting, see remarks 

 under the head of "Cabbage" in the direc- 

 tions for planting for July. We have 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. 



Early Flat Dutch. 



Stein's Early Flat Dutch. This is one ot 

 the earliest cabbages for its size. The de- 

 mand for the seed has increased almost double 

 since it was introduced. It is a sure header, 

 very regular and well adapted for shipping. 

 Is planted exclusive of all other kinds by some 

 of the largest cabbage growers in this vi- 

 cinity. 



Solid South. A cabbage introduced by 

 one of the leading cabbage growers on Long 

 Island. It is of the same season as the Early 

 Summer, but more regular in shape than that 

 variety, and very hard heading; the crop can 

 be cut almost at one time. 



St. Denis or Chou Bonneuil. A very pop- 

 ular variety. It does better for spring than 

 for fall ; should be sown in November. 



Drumhead Savoy. 



Crescent City Flat Dutch. This variety 

 nas been sold during the past under the name 

 of No. 1. It 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. 

 Recommend the same highly. 



Crescent City Flat Dutch. 



Red Dutch. Mostly used for pickling or 

 salads. 



Green Globe Savoy. Medium sized heads, 

 not very hard, but all the leaves can be used. 

 This and the following varieties are of fine 

 flavor, and preferred by many over the other 

 kinds.
