It was obtained by M. Bonnemain, Secretary of the Hor 
ticultural Society of Etampes (France), Vil. The only ad- 
vantages it is claimed to possess over the Karly Wakefield 
are the shghtly smaller size of the plant, and its superior 
earliness. ‘The latter quality is not always maintained and 
it is said to be inferior to the Karly Wakefield in shipping: 
qualities.

No. 61. Large Jersey Wakefield—Land. ’86. 
Syn. Large Early Jersey Wakejield, Brill, ’86. 
A selection of the Early Wakefield made by Mr. Francis 
Brill, of Riverhead, L. I. The heads are nearly double the 
size of those of Karly Wakefield and resemble them in shape, 
but with us were decidedly less uniform. In season, some 
heads were almost as early as the Karly Wakefield, while 
others were much later.

Closely resembles the Early Oxheart in its general char- 
acters, but decidedly larger in all its parts, and maturing 
about ten days later; head compact, pale yellowish-green; 
outer head leaves overlapping at the top, sometimes recurv- 
ing a little at the apex; outer leaves roundish or oval, some- 
times nearly flat, occasionally spoon-form or reflexed, and 
somteimes much twisted and contorted; margin entire, border 
plain, apex usually emarginate; veins usually not conspicu- 
ous; stem rarely more than one-third the height of the 
head. 
An excellent intermediate variety.

No. 63. LINGREVILLE,—VEG. GAR.; Vil., ’84, ’85. 
Syn. Fr. Chou de Lingreville, Vuu., ’84, °85; Ch. d’Ingreville, Vil. 
An early cabbage, intermediate in its characters between 
Bacalan Late and Tourleville. Plant of medium size, 
rather dark green, little glaucous ; head rather small, com- 
pact, of the oxheart shape ; outer leaves rather numerous, 
stiff, roundish, often broader than long, flat, or reflexed 
spoon-form, smooth, border plain. The lower leaves are 
usually short-petioled.
