Atkins's Matchless. M'Int.
This is a variety of the Early York: the head, however, is smaller and more conical, and the leaves are more wrinkled,—somewhat similar to those of the Savoys. It is of tender texture and delicate flavor; and, with the exception of its smaller size, is considered equal, if not superior, to the last-named variety.
It is comparatively a recent sort, and seems to be desirable rather for its precocity and excellent quality than for its size or productiveness.
Transplant to rows fifteen inches apart, and twelve inches asunder in the rows.
Barnes's Early.
Barnes's Early Dwarf.
This variety, in respect to season, size, form, and general habit, seems to be intermediate between, or a hybrid from, the York and Ox-heart. Head ovate, rather compact; texture fine and tender; flavor mild and good.
Set in rows two feet apart, and eighteen inches apart in the rows.
