Earliest Erfurt Blood-Red. Decidedly the earliest of the red cabbages. Very reliable for heading. A Drumhead; smaller than Red Drumhead. Very dark red.
Empress. Resembles Wyman in size and shape; but the heads are more pointed, and it makes head earlier. Heads well.
Schlitzer. This makes heads mostly shaped like the Winnigstadt, but a third larger. Its mottling of green and purple gives it a striking appearance. Early and very reliable for heading. Heads are not very hard; but, when cooked, are just about as tender and rich-flavored as the Savoy. Promises to be an excellent sort for family use.
Rothelburg. An early sure heading variety of the Drumhead class. Heads of medium size; resembling in shape Deep Head.
Sure Head. A strain of Flat Dutch. A late variety; heads deeper than Fottler, but with me not so reliable.
Dark Red Pointed. Resembles Winnigstadt in shape. About as late as Red Dutch, and not as desirable.
Bacalan Late. In shape resembles Winnigstadt. Grow a little wild.
Amack. A late variety. Heads generally nearly globular and quite hard. Very reliable for heading.
Bangholm. First of all. As early as the earliest, but very small,—not as large as Little Pixie.
Early Enfield Market.
