CABBAGE. 
{Brassica oleracea capitata.) Cuucui'Eii.E. 
CULTURE . — Little neeil be siiid respecting tlie cnitivation of this popular vegetable. A good supply of young and tender cabbages through ! 
the Winter is certainly worth some little labour to obtain. There is nothing in the way of winter greens that can approach good cabbages in ' 
delicacy of flavour, and those who have never made a practice of growing them ought to do so. No better preparation of ground with a coat of I 
mannre can be made than in the lifting of early potatoes, when such a piece of ground may be profitably utilised by them. Sow in March and j 
April for Autumn and Winter use, and early in August for Spring and Summer cutting. 
OANNELLS’ DEFIANCE CABBAGE. 
The small early kinds do well planted in rows 18 inches apart and 
IB inches between the rows; the larger growing kinds require to be put 
2 feet apart each way.

CanneUs’ Defiance — This variety was pronounced a a d. s. d. 
perlect gem when exhibited at the October Chrysan- 
themum Show, held at the Boyal Aquarium. It produces 
a good heart, solid and compact, without that detestable 
waste of leaves common to many varieties ; fine, tender, 
and delicate flavour, unequalled for carliness and quality; 
where exhibition specimens are required we strongly 
recommend this variety — it has been carefully selected 
fer many years 3d. and 0 C 10
