CABBAGE—Varieties for Autumn and Winter. The most popular are of the well-known hard-heading Flat Dutch and Drumhead types. These are best exemplified in Burpee's Surehead. Safe Crop, Short-Stem Drumhead, and Lupton strains. The latter is distinct in having large flat heads, with outer leaves of a rich dark green, instead of the light gray or bluish cast of most varieties. Our strains of these varieties are grown especially for critical trade, and the heads are inspected carefully by us as they develop in the field. Thus we know that they are i RUE to type, and of the most solid-heading character. Danish Ballhead,/^/ introduced by us. is now grown extensively, as it is not only remarkably sure in heading, but also an excellent keeper,—the'hard, round heads coming out in the spring in even finer condition than when stored away. The Ballhead is extremely hardy and gives excellent results in cool localities and unfavorable seasons,—see next page. Burpee's Short-Stem Drumhead is one of the finest hard-heading strains; the heads are of good size and grow uniformly on very short stems, so that they appear to be resting on the soil, and the number of loose outer leaves is few in comparison with most other late kinds ; for this reason they can be grown quite closely together. The Filderkraut is a distinct type, of tall coni- cal shape, the leaves at the top rolling tightly to form a slender point, as in the Winnigstadt, only much taller; the heads are about six inches in diameter, and from their extreme solidity, mild flavor, and peculiar form perfection drumhead savoy CABBAGE. they are especially desirable for slicing on the kraut- cutter.
