GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. bed is never allowed to get dry from the sowing of the seed till large enough to trans- plant. There is no danger in doing this, of scalding the plants, as many would suppose; but on the contrary the plants thrive well, and so treated, will be less liable to be at- tacked by cabbage flies, as they are too often disturbed during the day. Tobacco stems chopped up and scattered between the plants and in the walks between the beds, are a preventive against the fly. Early York. An early variety, but very little grown here except for family use. As we have cabbage heading up almost the whole year, it has not the same value as in Northern climates, where the first cabbage in spring brings a good price. Large York. About two or three weeks later than the above, forming hard heads not grown for the market. Recommended for family use. Early I,arge Oxheart. An excellent variety, which is is later than the Large York, and well adapted for sowing in fall or early spring. Early Winningstadt. This is a very solid heading variety; pointed, of good size and of the same season as the Oxheart. Very good for family use. But does not suit the market, as no pointed cabbage can be sold to any advantage in the New Or- leans market. Jersey Wakefield. Very popular in the North, but little planted here. It is of medium size and heads up well. Early Flat Dutch. An intermediate kind between the early pointed and late varieties. It is not, on an average, asheaw as the Oxheart or Winningstadt; raised for the market more suitable but, on if ac-. Drumhead Savoy. Large York.
