Early Advance. Of the Wakefield type. With me it is full as early as Wakefield, and considerably larger. Rather coarser in structure.
Market Garden. Of the Fottler class; very reliable for heading. Heads of good size, but rather coarser than the Deep Head.
Chase's Excelsior. A second early; much like Fottler; heads finely.
Bloomsdale Early Market. With me this is not as good a variety as Wakefield.
Berkshire Beauty. There appear to be fine possibilities in this cabbage, which have not yet been developed into uniformity.
Landredth's Extra Early. With me it does not prove as early as Wakefield, and does not head as well.
Bridgeport Late Drumhead. A large Drumhead; in size, between Stone Mason and Marblehead Mammoth. Reliable for heading, but does not head as hard as either of these varieties. Not inclined to burst.
Large French Oxheart closely resembles Early Oxheart, but grows to double the size, and is about ten days later; quality usually good.
Early Sugar Loaf. Heads shaped much like a loaf of sugar standing on its smaller end, resembling, as Burr well says, a head of Cos lettuce in its shape, and in the peculiar clasping of the leaves about the head. Heads rather hard, medium size; early, and tender. It is said not to stand the heat as well as most sorts.
Large Brunswick Short-Stemmed. (English seed.) Late, long-stumped, wild, plenty of leaves, almost no head; bears but a slight resemblance to Fottler's Drumhead.
