setting very late in July, after it is too 
late to risk the later varieties. Next comes 
the popular Henderson's Early Summer, 
which is very early for so large a cabbage. 
The Early Oxheart and Early Flat Dutch 
are each highly esteemed in some sections, 
and both about with Early Summer in ma¬ 
turing. Early Winnigstadt is extensively 
used as a summer and early fall variety, 
and much esteemed on account of its 
adaptability to all soils, and certainty to 
produce hard heads even under adverse cir¬ 
cumstances. It is perhaps less affected by 
worms, and other insects, poor seasons, and 
poor soils, than any other variety, and when

well cared for will produce very respectable 
heads. Following this in season, is Fottler's 
Improved Brunsivick, or as we have been 
carelessly led to call it, Fottler's Early 
Drumhead. Our seed stock of this most 
■excellent sort was originally procured from 
the Mr. Fottler who first named and intro¬ 
duced it. No one catalogues the two names 
given above as two distinct varieties, for 
there is but one genuine Fottler’s Cabbage, 
although there are different strains of it in 
the market, with varying degrees of true¬ 
ness to the original type, which we have 
striven to improve* by years of selection, 
and a poor strain is as likely to be called by 
one name as the other. Whichever we call 
it, our * brand is without doubt the best to 
be found anywhere. For main crop, for 
late fall and winter use, the different strains 
of American Late Flat Dutch and Ameri¬ 
can Late Drumhead are the universal stand¬ 
ards, and take the country over there are 
more acres of these grown than of ail others 
combined. The strain known as Premium 
Flat Dutch is darker colored, with more of

a red or blue tinge than the Excelsior , 
which latter more nearly resembles the 
Fottler , or the Late Drumhead in color. 
Both are good stock, which we are willing 
to put to a test in comparison with any in 
the land. And so of our Ixite American 
Drumhead. Our grower in Washington

in the world, but we do not recommend it 
except to those who know how to grow it, 
for it is more likely to entirely fail in inex¬ 
perienced hands than any of the above. 
Every one knows the use of the red sorts 
so little need be said of them. For Family 
Garden use a mixture of tlie seods of all the 
above kinds will give a great variety and 
long succession of cabbages for the table at 
all seasons, where it would be impossible to 
find room for so many kinds.
