SPRING CATALOGUE OF SEEDS, BULBS AND PLANTS FOR 1894. 67. Chllds' Bismarck. This wonderful Cabbage introduced by us three years ago, was produced by cross-fertilizing extra fine strains of Drumhead, Flat Dutch and Large i Drumhead Savoy; then by careful selection and sav- H|§ing for several years, a type was established entirely aldistinct, and, we believe, superior to any other Cab- bage. It shows the Savoy blood by dark green color and slightly wavy leaves, though not crinkled. It pos- sesses the largest size ever attained in Drumhead or Flat Dutch, and the superb quality of the Savoy. It has a short and very small stem, consequently little waste from stem inside—much the least of any large Cabbages. It has but a few surplus or scraggy leaves, neither is it necessary to waste half the head by peeling off a large quant ity of leaves, before reaching those of eatable qual- ity. It is remarkable in this respect, for after removing those immediately outside and exposed, you come to ivory-white, crisp, tender and delicious leaves, as in the best Savoys. It is very solid and heavy, and of quick growth and sure to head.
