Plant very large, rather low and spreading, foliage deep 
bluish green, strongly blistered, borders ruffled; head large, 
flattened or nearly round, compact, rather pale green, often 
tinted a little with brown on the top; outer leaves numerous, 
large, roundish; stem short. 
This variety is very hardy, seldom fails to form a head, 
keeps well and is of good quality. It is recommended as 
the best variety for feeding stock. 
No. 19. LARGE WHITE BRuNSwIcK, Dam., ’86. 
Syn. Large White Solid Magdeburg, Ben.,, ’86; Fr. Chou pomme blane gros 
plat de Magdebourg, Dam., ’86; Ger. Mugdeburger, grosstes weisser plattes Kopf- 
kohl, Dam., ’86. 
Plant of medium size, resembling the Early Summer 
rather closely, except that the head is less strongly flattened; 
head very pale, sometimes whitish-green. About the same 
in season as Fottler’s Brunswick. 
No. 20. Loussville Drumhead, Brill., ’86. 
Syn. Lowisville Harly Drumhead, D. of A., 86. 
Resembles closely Fottler’s Brunswick, but matures ten 
‘to fourteen days earlier. At the Station this proved a very 
fine heading cabbage. The heads were very well defined 
and neatly formed. 
‘‘The finest strain of Drumhead I have ever seen.”— 
Francis Brill. 
No. 21. Low’s Karly Peerless, Greg., 85, 86; Till., ’84. 
Syn. New Peerless Harly, Burpee, ’86. 
Scarcely distinct from Early Summer—by some consid- 
ered the same. In our plantings the heads appeared slight- 
ly larger, and the foliage slightly more bluish. 
Said to be a cross between Fottler’s Brunswick and Early 
Wakefield.

head; outer leaves numerous, inclining to horizontal, round- 
ish, nearly flat, but inclining to spoon-form, border plain, 
usually slightly reflexed, surface smooth.
