The wild type is stil growing on the chalk cliffs of the Eng lish channel On the cliffs of south eastern England Is now feund plant similar to the Georgia collards There are three distinct types of cab bage with reference to the shape of the head namely. round. oval and flat. Some varieties are distinct in type. while others partake of two or more shapes due to crossing in seed produe- ton, There is much variation in the shape, color. character and texture If the leaf. ranging from regular straight edges. almost white. smooth and tender. 10 irregular, almost fringed edges. dark purple color and coarse, tough texture.
 Generally speaking all varieties are hardy but there Is some variation in hardness Usually the nurplish sreeu varieties with crinklcd and fringed leaves are harder than the whfish green sorts with smooth, regular leaves. The cold resisting varieties are also the most heat resisting.
 For very early crop the seed may he sown in a well prepared seed bed outside in September and the plants be wintered over in cold frame or by mulchine with straw in q sheltered place. These plants may be set out very early in spring. long before spring grown plants may be used. To make extra good plants they will need to be taken from the seed bed and he prick ed out two inches apart in other beds. By setting a succession of plants the crop may be constant from May or June until Christmas.
 The plants of early varieties are set out in spring as early as the weather permits in rows three feet apart and two feet apart in the rows. The fall grown plants are, often blamed in the field in November Burrows are turn ed where the rows are to be and the plants are set low in the furrows. so as 10 be protected. North and south fur rows with plants set on the east side are satisfactory, although east and west furrows are sometimes preferred. Later varieties require mnre room. Early plants must be set aeep- that is. So the base of the leaves is below the ground. If freezing weather comes the plants may be covered wiih earth until danger from frost k over.

 In the last seven years this young man has made S1s.e0o worth of i'm. proycAsents on little farm of only thirty-twe acres. He uses very little manure. but great deal of water. He makes S2.5O0 a year on lettuce alone. other men find farming q slow business. while this young man makes q fortune ont of i with all ease. The difference Is certainly strange.
