Cauliflower. 



' Midsummer Day ' (E. Veitch). — A good early Cauliflower, wliich 

 the Committee considered somewhat resembled 'Magnum Bonum.' 

 Heads medium, firm, creamy- white, well protected with long, dark- 

 green outer leaves. Habit very compact. 



' Ne Plus Ultra ' (E. Veitch). — A useful variety to follow ' Mid- 

 summer Day.' Heads large, firm, sulphury-white; outer leaves 

 long and glaucous.

' Challenger White ' (E. Veitch). — An excellent variety in every 

 respect, producing good solid hearts. 



Chicory. 



' Venetian Striped ' (E. Veitch). — Leaves long, abundant, deeply 



serrated near the base, light green, often much tinged with purple; 

 midi^ib purple. 



Chinese Salad. 



Chinese Cabbage Salad, or Pe-tsai (E. Veitch). — A strong-growing 

 plant, with large coarse, crinkled leaves resembling those of the turnip. 

 It quickly runs to seed, and we think is not likely to become a general 

 favourite for salad purposes in this country.
