ARTICLE I.—A FEW REMARKS ON THE CULTURE OF THE 
CABBAGE (BRASSICA.) 
The Cabbage is well known and universally cultivated; the varieties 
and subvarieties are so numerous and bear in some cases so little 
resemblance to each other, that it would scarcely be credited that they 
have sprung from one common origin. 
Mr. De Cadolle has given in the Horticultural Trans., Vol. 5, a 
new arrangement of the cultivated species of Brassica, which is as 
follows;— 
1. Sea Colewort or Cabbage, or Wild Cabbage. 
2. Greens, Kale or Borecoles. 
3. Savoy-Cabbages. 
4. Cabbages Red and White. 
5. Chou rave or Turnip-stemmed Cabbage. 
6. Cauliflower and. Broccoli. 
The common red and white Cabbages only will be treated on in the 
following remarks, the other divisions will be the substance for a future 
paper. The sorts most to be recommended, when a selection is de¬ 
sired, are:— 
Dwarf American 
Vanack 
Imperial 
Early Battersea 
Red Dutch 
Early York 
Early Dwarf 
Early Emperor 
Well’s Early 
Young’s Early 
Of these Early Emperor, Well’s Early, Young’s Early, and Dwarf 
American, are new and very valuable; indeed the Early Emperor 
has been pronounced by some gardener’s the very best early Cabbage 
grown, though we do not think it surpasses the other new sorts named 
with it. The Vanack is considered new by many, but this is a mis-
