This variety was introduced into England from Holland, more than a
century ago, by a wealthy Dutch farmer of the name of Vanack. Though
often found upon the catalogues of our seedsmen, it has not been
extensively grown in this country, and perhaps is really but little
known.

Head somewhat irregular in shape, broad at the base, and terminating in
rather a sharp point; color palish-green, the ribs and nerves of the
leaves paler. The exterior leaves are large, spreading, deep-green, and
strongly veined.

It is tender in texture, sweet and delicate in flavor, cabbages early
and uniformly, and, when kept through the winter and reset in spring,
pushes abundant and fine sprouts, forming excellent early coleworts, or
greens. Lindley pronounces its quality inferior to none of the best
cabbages. Transplant to rows two feet and a half apart, and two feet
apart in the rows.

VAUGIRARD CABBAGE. _Thomp._

Chou de Vaugirard. _Vil._

A large, late, but coarse, French variety. The head is generally round;
leaves deep-green,--those of the outside having the veins sometimes
tinged with red.

The plants should be set three feet apart in each direction.

WAITE'S NEW DWARF. _Hov. Mag._

Heads small, but solid and uniform in shape. It has little of the
coarseness common to the larger varieties, and the flavor is superior.

One of the finest early cabbages, and one of the best sorts for the
market. It occupies but little space compared with some of the older
kinds, and a large number of plants may be grown upon a small piece of
ground.

WINNIGSTADT.

Pointed Head.

This is a German variety, somewhat similar to the Ox-heart, but more
regularly conical. Head broad at the base, and tapering symmetrically to
a point, solid, and of the size of the Ox-heart; leaves of the head pale
or yellowish green, with large nerves and ribs; the exterior leaves are
large, short, and rounded, smooth, and of firm texture; the stalk is
short.

It is an intermediate sort, immediately following the Early York. A
large proportion of the plants will form good heads; and as these are
not only of remarkable solidity, but retain their freshness well during
winter, it is a good variety for marketing, though rather hard, and
somewhat deficient in the qualities that constitute a good
table-cabbage.

It requires a space of about eighteen inches by two feet.
