[By the Rey. “Promas Broveyon.] — 
Te" turnip cabbage ‘is ‘a plant little Kaveri in 
this kingdom, but as‘a vegetable ‘for the gar- 
den, and rarely cultivated even‘ for that purpofe. 
An attempt was made many years fince by the Society 
of “Atts im London, to introduce it as an article of 
hufbandry; but though»the report of the experi- 
ment made for that purpofe was highly favourable, 
it afterwards fell into difufe. I became firft ac- 
quainted with it about fix or feven years fince, when 
a few feeds were given me in the month of July, by 
a perfon of Bath, under the name of Cape Cabbage, 
Sown fo late the plants did not bulb, but the ftrongelt 
were planted out, and the feed faved the following 
year; from whence all, I have hitherto cultivated 
have been produced.: Ihave uniformly found them 
a moft excellent food for fheep, and have given them 
with great advantage to cows and horfes.
