set bore heads fit for the table. rs
quality is excellent and while il is a
good early cabbage it is. likewise ab ex-
cellent winter variety if planted late IN the
season. II win head when maBg other
kinds fail altogether. AS an early Kind,
strictly, it cannot compete with DE Wake
field. The latter, by the wsy, though
supposed to be Of foreign Origin, LAS been
so long cultivated blythe jersey gardeners,
that its character has become American,
and seed imported from Europe under the
same name will nos compare with the
true native.
'gThe Early Sehweinfurth is one Of the
newer varieties having very fair repu
tation to start with. 1t proved with me
unsatisfactory Nearly every plant head
ed, and the heads were large, but so loose
that one could thrust a finger TO the heart
OF the best in the lot. If / were growing
cabbage exclusively for cattle food,
(which believe is paying operation in
many localities l should consider the
Early Schweinfurth good variety on &C
count of bulk. It's quality is fair, though
it cannot be sliced raw for table use, be-
cause of its loose texture. 1t makes a
good show in the field or on the eXhibi
ton table-at distance-but IL wont do
to handle.
''The Premium Flat Dutch is a splendid
winter and late fall cabbage The heads
are large enough for any table purposes,
solid, quality good, and it keeps well.
Mine headed this year almost without eX-
ception. i grows low, and the heads are
round, and are protected by numerous
large outside leaves 1t is an excellent
kind for stock food. (The Schweinfurth
grows higher and is inclined to Me flat
shape.) / prize the Premium Flat Dutch,
for general purposes, higher than any
other kind l grow.
1.-The Drumhead Savoy is doubtless one
of the best curled varieties. About two
thirds of the plants headed, but the heads
were very uneven in size, and the average
much below that of the two just previ-
ously named. II is a splendid variety for
boiling, and no garden should be with
out it.
Chahlll's Red Picking is a newly i'm
ported variety, remarkably pure, aud
having a fine purple color. 1t is a very
poor header; probably not above one
quarter of mine developed heads. But
the plants which failed TO do so were so
beautiful in form and hue that they paid
for the cultivation. / doubt, however,
if the cattle appreciated this quality. But
if one l. es see a symmetrical. beauti-

mostly. e quality is hardly medium as

''The named three varieties were

.ngIy-thc fruit having been thinncd on
both alike soon after setting. The fruit
on both trees, when nearly grown, was
about equal in size, but the shoots and

smaller. As it Iipcned and the stones
hardened, the peaches on the sparse
boomers were much largcr-Somc being
nearly twice the size of others. Over
bearing still increases the difference.
This affords another strong reason in
favor Of The mode of thinning which we
have repeatedly recommended for the
peach crop-namcly, by shortening back
the fruit-bcariug shoots, so as TO remove
large share Of the supenumerary buds.
It is the most easy and rapid mode of
thinning; it reduces the numbered leaves,
and The growth is more vigorous, rcscm-
bling in all trees that of young and thrifty
'Dcs. As a consequence the fruit is much
t,er; for although the peaches may be
