of a deep green colour, the ribs reddish. Hearts small, 
very loosely formed. A very hardy sort, but very coarse 
and worthless. 
57. Fielder (Benary). See Pomeranian. 
58. Flat Dutch Drumhead (Minier). See Quintal. 
59. Fottle's Brunsivick (Carter; Stuart and Mein). See Large 
Brunswick. 
60. Fumel or Femelle (Yilmorin; Carter). Plant rather short, 
spreading. Leaves large, rounded, on long stalks : much 
crumpled; of a very pale green colour, and very soft in 
texture. Hearts very large, broad, flat like the Drumhead; 
very loose. This is a very peculiar and distinct Cabbage. 
Hearts form very early, but soon open out again and run 
to seed. 
61. Glazed Cabbage (Carter). See Green Glazed American. 
62. Gibson's Drumhead (Nutting). See Large Brunswick. 
63. Glen Dwarf Drumhead (Nutting). See Drumhead. 
64. Green Glazed American (Yilmorin). Plant tall, on long 
stem. Leaves few, medium sized, rounded, of a shining 
deep green colour. Forms very small hearts. Can scarcely 
be termed a Cabbage, more properly a Borecole. Much 
appreciated in America, where it is almost exclusively 
grown. 
65. Heartwell (Carter). A very fine close growing selection of the 
Nonpareil. 
66. Habas Drumhead (Carter; Yilmorin). Plant very dwarf, 
resting on the soil. Leaves large, about 2^ feet in diameter, 
lying flat, much crumpled, of a very pale green colour, 
and very thin and tender. Hearts form quickly, very broad 
and flat, frequently 10 to 12 inches, and not more than 
2 inches in thickness. Yery soft and rather tender. A 
very pretty and distinct early flat Cabbage. 
67. Hardy Green Colewort (Carter; Yeitch). Plant of compact 
growth; about 12 inches in height. Leaves of medium 
size, of a very deep green colour, with a tinge of red. 
Hearts formed very slowly, and late, medium size, of a 
broad conical form. An excellent variety for late autumn 
use; very hardy. It is generally sown in May, planted 
out thickly for use in autumn and winter, as Coleworts or 
Greens. Yery fine quality.
