It is of the ordinary size and habit ofgrowth of a cabbage, but the dark green leaves are streakedand blotched with white, rose, red and lilac, and when theplant attains size it makes a splendid show when plantedIn rows, or masses, or when grown as single specimens,especially in the autumn and during winter. Freezing onlyintensifies the beautiful coloring of the leaves, and all duringlate fall and early wint«ritlsanob|ectofgreatbeauty. Whilethe ornamental character of this variety forms its main fea-ture, and is of the greatest value, it is by no means useless asa vegetable, as it is a true-heading cabbage and the headsareof fair size and excellent qnality. We can recommend thisAB a most superb novelty. Pkt.,
