eren Cauliflower, planted
under similar circumstances, formed beautiful heads,--large, white,
firm, and of uniform closeness.

WELLINGTON CAULIFLOWER.

Messrs. Henderson and Son describe this Cauliflower as the finest kind
in cultivation; pure white; size of the head over two feet; in growth,
very dwarfish,--the stem not more than two or three inches from the
soil. It is one of the hardiest varieties known, and is said to
withstand the extreme variations of the climate of the United States. An
excellent sort for early planting and for forcing.

COLEWORT, OR COLLARDS. _Loud._

Collet.

The Colewort, strictly speaking, is a plant distinct from the other
varieties of Cabbage. It is of small habit, and attains sufficient size
for use in a few weeks. It is eatable from the time it has four or six
leaves until it has a hard heart. Loudon says the original Colewort
seems to be lost, and is now succeeded by what are called "Cabbage
Coleworts." These are cabbage-plants in their young state; and, when
cooked, are quite as tender and good as the true Colewort. In growing
these, all that is necessary is to sow the seed of almost any variety of
the common green cabbages in drills a foot apart, and half an inch deep.
For a succession, sowings may be made, at intervals of two weeks, from
the last of April to the last of August. In the Southern States, the
sowings might be continued through the winter.

When cultivated for sale, simply allow them to stand till there is
enough to be worth bunching and eating. They are boiled and served at
table as greens.

ROSETTE COLEWORT.

A small but remarkably neat variety; the whole plant, when well grown,
measuring twelve inches in diameter, and having the form of a rose not
completely expanded,--the head corresponding to the bud still remaining
at the heart, or centre; stalk small and short. The plants may be grown
twelve inches asunder.

COUVE TRONCHUDA, OR PORTUGAL CABBAGE. _Trans._

Portugal Borecole. Large-ribbed Borecole. Trauxuda Kale.

Though a species of Cabbage, the Couve Tronchuda is quite distinct from
the common head varieties. The stalk is short and thick; the outer
leaves are large, roundish, of a dark bluish-green, wrinkled on the
surface, and slightly undulated on the borders; the mid-rib of the leaf
is large, thick, nearly white, and branches into veins of the same
color; the
