be planted in the 
same manner as 
Cabbages, on fairly- 
well - manured and 
thoroughly cultivated 
ground, about 15 in. between the plants in the row a 
18 in. between the rows. 
Varieties — 
Drumhead. Dwarf Green Curled. 
Dobbie’s Perfect Gem. Sutton’s Tom Thumb. 
Early Ulm. 
RED CABBAGE 
The Red Cabbage is principally used for pickling, and 
only differs from the ordinary Cabbage in its colour. 
Therefore, details as to its cultivation are the same as 
for the ordinary Cabbage. As it is desirable to have 
fine succulent heads, the ground should be thoroughly 
dug or trenched and very liberally manured. 
Varieties — 
Sutton’s Dwarf Blood Red. 
Dobbie’s Selected Red. 
Large Blood Red.
