No..35. Vilmorin’s Early Flat Dutch—Greg., ’83, 785, 86. 
A French strain of the Karly Flat Dutch, differing from 
it in having the head less flattened, rather more compact, 
the plant very slightly smaller, the borders of the leaves 
ruffled or strongly undulate, and, judging from our plant- 
ings, maturing slightly later. 
No. 36. Warren—Greg., °85, ’86. 
Syn. Warren’s Stone Mason, (d) Breck’s Cat., ’86. 
Described as a strain of Stone Mason. At the Station it 
has run much more uniform than that variety, paler 
green, with a more nearly plain border, and has closely 
resembled Early Deep Head. It has proved very reliable. 
Correctly figured in Gregory’s catalogue of 1886, and 
previous years. 
IJ. Heads round or nearly so. 
* Foliage green. 
No. 37. CANNON BALL—GREG., ’83, 785, ’86. 
Plant of medium size, low, and rather spreading; foliage 
dark dull green, slightly glaucous; head globular, or very 
slightly flattened, pale green, sometimes slightly tinted 
with red on the top, very compact; outer head leaves usually 
over-lapping; outer leaves few, roundish, usually distinctly 
spoon-form, smooth, or slightly blistered, border strongly 
undulate; stem very short. 
In season, about a week later than Karly York. 
This has proved very reliable for heading at the Station. 
‘‘In hardness and relative weight, it is not excelled if 
equaled by any other cabbage. It delights in the highest 
cultivation possible.”

No: 88. Dax—Vil., ’84, ’85. 
Syn. Dax Drumhead, VEc. Gar.; Dax Very Large Late, Vil.; Fr. Chou 
de Dax, Viu., °84, ’85; Ger. Spater Dax Kopfkohl, A. de Cl. 
A very large growing, loose heading, rather long stemmed, 
blistered leaved cabbage, allied to the Savoys. It resembles 
the Habas, but has deeper green, and more glaucous foliage, 
and the head is round instead of being flattened. It has no 
value in this climate unless it be for forage. 
Correctly figured in The Vegetable Garden, p. 117; Les 
plantes potagéres, p. 113.
