ERFURT'S EARLY CAULIFLOWER.

Erfurt's Extra Early.

Leaves large, long, waved, and serrated on the borders; stalk of medium
height; head large,--measuring from seven to ten inches in
diameter,--close, and compact.

From the experience of a single season, this variety promises to be one
of the best for cultivation in this country. Specimens exhibited under
this name, before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, measured
fully ten inches in diameter; the surface being very close, and the
heads possessing the peculiar white, curdy character so rarely attained
in the climate of the United States. The plants seldom fail to form a
good-sized and symmetrical head, or flower.

LARGE ASIATIC CAULIFLOWER. _Thomp._

Originally from Holland. It is a fine, large, white, compact variety,
taller and later than the Early London Cauliflower; it has also larger
leaves. If sown at the same time, it will afford a succession.

LE NORMAND. _R. Hogg._

Plant about fifteen inches high, with winged leaves, which are broad,
and taper abruptly towards the base. They are toothed and waved on the
margin, and expose a head which is about nine inches in diameter, and of
a creamy color.

It is earlier than the Walcheren, and is readily distinguished from it
by the waved and toothed margin of the foliage.

MITCHELL'S HARDY EARLY CAULIFLOWER.

A new variety. Bouquet not large, but handsome and compact. It is so
firm, that it remains an unusual length of time without running to seed
or becoming pithy. A desirable sort for private gardens and for forcing.

STADTHOLD. _Vil._

A new variety, introduced from Holland. Flower fine white, and of large
size. Not early.

WAITE'S ALMA CAULIFLOWER.

A new variety, represented as being of large size, and firm; surpassing
in excellence the Walcheren.

WALCHEREN CAULIFLOWER. _Thomp._

Early Leyden. Legge's Walcheren Broccoli.

This has been cultivated as a Broccoli for more than ten years; though
originally introduced by the London Horticultural Society, under the
name of Early Leyden Cauliflower. Stem comparatively short; leaves
broad, less pointed and more undulated than those of the Cauliflower
usually are. The difference in constitution is, however, important; as
it not only resists the cold in winter, but the drought in summer, much
better than other cauliflowers. In hot, dry summers, when scarcely a
head of these could be obtained, the Walch
