irm in texture, sometimes reflexed, or
curved backward, but generally erect and concave; nerves pale
greenish-white; stem very short. It is mild and delicate, and a
desirable early variety.

In setting the plants, allow two feet and a half between the rows, and
two feet between the plants in the rows.

GREEN GLAZED.

American Green Glazed.

Head large, rather loose and open; the leaves are numerous, large,
rounded, waved on the borders, and slightly blistered on the surface;
stalk comparatively long. Its texture is coarse and hard, and the
variety really possesses little merit; though it is somewhat extensively
grown in warm latitudes, where it appears to be less liable to the
attacks of the cabbage-worm than any other sort.

A distinguishing characteristic of this cabbage is its deep,
shining-green color; the plants being readily known from their peculiar,
varnished, or glossy appearance.

LARGE LATE DRUMHEAD.

American Drumhead.

Head very large, round, sometimes flattened a little at the top, close
and firm; the loose leaves are numerous, broad, round, and full,
clasping, blistered, and of a sea-green color; the ribs and nerves are
of medium size, and comparatively succulent and tender; stem short. The
variety is hardy, seldom fails to form a head, keeps well, and is of
good quality.

In cultivation, it requires more than the average space, as the plants
have a spreading habit of growth. The rows should not be less than three
feet apart; and two feet and a half should be allowed between the plants
in the rows.

There are many varieties of this cabbage, introduced by different
cultivators and seedsmen under various names, differing slightly, in
some unimportant particulars, from the foregoing description, and also
differing somewhat from each other, "but agreeing in being large,
rounded, cabbaging uniformly, having a short stem, keeping well, and in
being tender and good flavored."

LARGE YORK.

This is a larger cabbage than the Early York; which variety it somewhat
resembles. The head, however, is broader in proportion to its depth, and
more firm and solid; the leaves not connected with the head are more
erect, of a firmer texture, not quite so smooth and polished, and the
surface slightly bullated, or blistered. It also has a shorter stalk,
and is two or three weeks later.

The Large York seems to be intermediate between the Early York and the
Large Late Drumheads, as well in respect to form
