aiem fufiy equal to those which have been 
kept over from fall. 
For earliest family use the Early Favorite 
and Large Early York will suffice. For 
earliest market use the true Jersey Wake¬ 
field stands unrivalled. It is more exten¬ 
sively used for this purpose than any and 
all others. Henderson’s Early Summer is 
preferred by some, it being a week or ten 
days later, but much larger than the Wake¬ 
field. The Early Flat Dutch is about with 
Early Summer in season of maturing and 
is largely grown in some sections. As these 
American varieties are unusually scarce and 
high-priced this season, foreign varieties 
will have to be resorted to by some large 
growers. Few imported sorts give as good 
satisfaction in this country, as the Large 
French Oxheart. Numerous trials have

shown that it heads up uniformly and solid, 
scarcely one plant in a hundred failing. It 
somewhat resembles the Wakefield in shape 
and appearance, but is a little later and larg¬ 
er, in size and season comparing favorably 
with Early Summer. The Early Kleich- 
field is a new German cabbage, somewhat 
resembling the Winningstadt, but rounder 
o 
in form, and two weeks earii. r. ^.a L, 
uie li'-ads are remarkably bard and close 
and not liable to be a feeled notch by 
worms. Fottler's Early Lrumw.ek. is us*d 
>oth for early and late, and is considered 
lie best cabbage known, for all purposes. 
As large, solid, flat heads, uniformly pro¬ 
duced upon short stumps are the admir¬ 
ation of all cabbage growers. Premium 
Flat Dutch is the standard everywhere for 
winter use. The Am. La£e Drumhead close¬ 
ly resembling it, may be substituted for it 
by those who cannot procure a supply of 
seeds of Flat Dutch. Marblehead Mammoth 
when all the conditions are favorable, is 
the lagrest cabbage in the world, but if 
placed upon too poor ground, or badly cui-

tivated, it is more likely to produce no head 
at all, than any other variety. The Savoys 
are the tenderest“and richest of all cab¬ 
bages, but the worms will surely find it out 
and claim them if allowed to. The red 
sorts are highly esteemed, and frequently 
bring one or two cents per pound more in 
market than any other kind. The market 
gardener usually knows from past ex¬ 
perience, just what kinds will be required 
for his use, and will only need to determine 
the quantity to be used. For family use a 
package or half-ounce made up by mixing 
a dozen or more good varieties will give 
the greatest satisfaction, as some heads will 
be ready for the table, from July till Jan¬ 
uary or later if properly stored for winter. 
This feature first introduced by us last 
season, has been highly praised by our pat-
