The Turnep* 



Both thefe plants have been introduced to, and cultivated in Jamaica, from time 

 to time j but they do not generally anfwer, in thofe parts of the world, fo well as 

 many other European vegetables. I have, however, fometimes obfervcd the firft 

 fort to grow very large, and to produce a good head there ; and then it is generally 



\ 



much better tailed than that which grows in Europe : for it lofes all that raw- 

 nefs, or crudity, with which it is commonly attended in the colder climates; and 

 acquires a mellownefs, and delicacy, that recommends it in a country, where a hun- 

 dred other forts of tender, wholefome, and palatable greens grow naturally.

It is hard to determine whether thefe plants were originally introduced to Ja- 

 maica, or are really natives; for both fpecies are now common, and grow wild in 

 every part of the ifland, where the land is clear, and well manured. The firft fpe- 

 cies is fometimes cultivated for the fake of the feed; but the other is of no ufe, and 

 commonly found wild among the grafs, in all the Savannas.
