The seed catalogues OF the country
last year noted es2 different kinds OF
cabbages. The seed section OF the De
partment OF Agriculture has beer
working on a general classification Of
American vegetables with the ob3eci
OF eliminating all the duplicate names
which have been given to varieties
owing to the fact that each scotsman
has his own specially named vegetable
OF each species or variety-always de-
scribed as an Improved or more
select strain than the ordinary variety
offered for sale by the rest of hu-
manity. The Department has sim-
mered these s92 cabbages down to a
little over hundred actual varieties.
The seedsmen have catalogued So
different lettuces, whereas the Depart
ment can find only 81 actually different
kinds Beans. beets. cucumbers etc.
have likewise been taken up and clas-
sified and each variety has been found
