No. 6. BRUNSWICK SHORT STEM, Vil., ’85. 
Syn. Bloomsdale Karly Dwarf Flat Dutch? Land., ’84, ’86; Burpee’s Short 
Stem Drumhead, Burpee, ’86; Large Brunswick Short-Stemmed, Vil. ; Large 
Late Drumhead. (incorrectly) Veg. Gar., Vil.; Short Stem Drumhead, Brill,. 
86; Fr. Chou de Brunswick pied court, Vil., ’85; Ch. tabouret, Vil.; Ger. 
Braunschweiger kurzbeiniger Kraut, A. de Cl. 
Closely allied to Fottler’s Brunswick, but differing from 
it in being even more dwarf and slightly smaller in size. 
The difference between the two is little marked, and may 
be due entirely to selection. Like the Fottler’s Brunswick, 
it is very reliable for heading. 
Correctly figured in the Vegetable Garden, p. 116; Les. 
plantes potagéres, p. 112. 
No. 7. DANISH DRUMHEAD, Greg., ’88, ’85, ’86. 
Closely resembles the St. Denis, and has by some been 
thought identical with it. 
Plant of medium size, rather spreading ; foliage rather 
light bluish-green, quite glaucous ; head large, much. flat- 
tened, scarcely paler than the outer leaves but less glaucous, 
very compact; outer head leaves not meeting in fully 
developed heads; outer leaves compact, reflexed spoon- 
form, those immediately about the head distinctly recurv- 
ing, border undulate, approaching ruffled ; stem very short, 
the plant appearing to rest on the ground. 
At the Station this has proved a very reliable intermediate: 
cabbage. Correctly figured in Gregory’s catalogue of 1886, 
and previous years. 
No. 8. EARLIEST WHITE ERFURT, Till., ’85. 
Syn. Small Early Erfurt, A. de Cl.; Fr. Chou petit hatif d’Erfurt, Vil. 
(d.); Ger. Erfurter kleines fruhestes festes niedriges Kraut, Vil.; Kleiner- 
fruher weisser Erfurter Kopfkohl, A. de Cl. 
Plant very small, compact, medium in color; head strongly 
flattened, rather large considering the small plant, moder- 
ately compact, pale green ; outer leaves very few, inclining 
to horizontal, roundish, nearly flat, smooth, veins rather 
numerous and conspicuous ; stem short. 
A very early, and neatly headed variety ; probably the: 
earliest of the flat heading cabbages. 
No. 9. EARLY BLEICHFELD, Greg., ’85. 
Syn. Harly Bleichfeld Giant, Greg., ’83, ’86; Land., ’86. 
Resembles the Danish Drumhead in size, season, and 
habit, but differs from it in being of a deeper green, and de- 
cidedly less glaucous ; head large, distinctly flattened, com-
