Frotseher’s Superior Late Flat Dutch. 
Jersey Wakclickl. Very popular in the North, but little 
planted here. It is of medium size and heads up well: 
Early Flat Dutch. An intermediate variety between the early 
pointed and late varieties. It is not, on an average, as heavy as the 
Oxheart or Winningstadt, but, if raised for the market, more salable 
on account of being flat. Very good variety for family use. ' 
Early Drumhead . A Similar variety to the above; a little 
earlier, and not making as many leaves, can be planted close. A good 
early spring cabbage. 
Larg’e Flat Brunswick. This is a late German variety, intro¬ 
duced by me about eighteen years ago. It is an excellent variety, and 
when well headed up the shape of it is a true type of a Premium Flat 
Dutch Cabbage. It requires very rich ground, and should be sown 
early, as it is a little more susceptible of frost than the Superior Flat 
Dutch. It is well adapted for shipping, being very hard, and does not 
wilt so quick as others. At Frenier, along the Jackson Railroad, this 
is the kind principally planted, and is preferred over all other varie¬ 
ties. The people living there plant nothing else except cabbage, 
and have tried nearly all highly recommended varieties, and this 
is their choice. At that place the seeds are sown in October and Novem¬ 
ber; the bulk of the cabbage raised there is shipped North in April 
and May, and is the finest which comes to the Chicago market. 
Drumhead Savoy. 
St. Deni* or Chou Bonneuil.
