short and small, dark-green, with white veins, much sinuated, deeply
indented, and form a regular radius round the flower. The whole plant
presents a singular and beautiful appearance.

MILLER'S LATE WHITE. _Thomp._

Miller's Dwarf.

This is an old variety; but is considered by some to be the best late
sort, if it can be obtained true. Hardy. Transplant two feet apart.

MITCHELL'S NE PLUS ULTRA. _Thomp._

Hardy, and of dwarf habit; leaves smooth, glaucous, protecting the head,
which is cream-colored, large, and compact. Transplant two feet apart.

MITCHINSON'S PENZANCE. _R. Hogg._

Early White Cornish. Mitchinson's Early White.

One of the best of the Spring Whites. The leaves are much waved on the
margin, and enclose large and fine heads, which are nearly of a pure
white color. Very hardy.

PORTSMOUTH. _Thomp._

Cream-colored. Southampton. Maher's New Dwarf.

Leaves large, broad, with white veins, spreading; although the central
ones partially cover the flower, or head, which is buff, or
cream-colored. It is a hardy sort; and the flower, which is produced
near the ground, is said to exceed in size that of any other variety.
The plants should be set three feet apart.

PURPLE CAPE. _Trans._

Early Purple Cape. Purple Silesian. Howden's Superb Purple. Grange's
Early Cape. Blue Cape.

This has a close, compact head, of a purple color, and, in favorable
seasons, comes as large as a cauliflower. The plants grow from a foot to
a foot and a half in height, with short, erect, concave leaves,
regularly surrounding the head. The veins and midribs are stained with
purple. The head is exposed to view in growing; and, as it enlarges,
the projecting parts of the flower show a greenish-white mixed with the
purple color. When boiled, the whole flower becomes green.

Excellent for general culture, as it is not only one of the finest
varieties for the table, but the plants form their heads much more
generally than many other kinds. It is the earliest of the purple
broccolis.

The seed should not be sown before the middle or last of May, and the
plants will require a space of two feet and a half in each direction.

SNOW'S SUPERB WHITE WINTER. _Thomp._

Gill's Yarmouth White.

This variety is of dwarfish habit. The leaves are broad, with short
stems; the heads are large, white, very compact, well protected by the
incurved leaves, and equal in quality to those of the Cauliflower. By
many it is consider
