SPECKLED DUTCH BUTTERHEAD, 50 DAYS.— A long-standing white Cabbage variety, 

 formincr quite compact heads, the leaves possessing the peculiarity of being irregularly 

 dotted "with spots resembling iron rust. This is the favorite variety with market gar- 

 deners in the neighborhood of Philadelphia i 



Landreths' Forcing, 35 



AfiTTCS So named because of its 



Uciyo, adaptability for forcing 



under glass, forming small, crisp, compact 

 heads of three inches in diameter before 

 any other sort commences to head. Hav- 

 ing very few outside leaves, it can be 

 planted at less than half distance— more 

 than twice as many to the space as of 

 larger sorts. A valuable sort to the forcing 

 house gardener or to the cottager using 

 hotbeds or cold frame, because so many 

 plants can be set on a limited space. The 

 plants should be cut under ground and 

 sent to table in entire form on the root- 

 stem, the bottom roots being trimmed 

 and a few of the outside leaves removed, 

 as shown in the illustration.
