An Account of a Crop of Cassacz, for which a 
Premium was awarded. 
- [By Dr. Parry.] 
_ grapes of a crop of winter cabbages, 
on three acres of land, part of a farm of fifty 
acres; value of land about 12s. per acre. 
Eight rows of cabbages, in number 381, weighed 
691541b. ‘Total number of cabbages on the three 
acres, 12,170. ‘Total weight of the cabbages, (avoid- 
ing fractions) g8 ton 12cwt, Weight per acre, 
32 ton 17cWwt. and fomewhat more. i 
It muft be obferved, that thefe cabbages were 
weighed with from an inch and a half to two inches 
and a half of ftem. Had they been taken up and 
weighed with their roots, each cabbage would have 
weighed in addition to the above from 1 to 2Ib. 
Suppofing each to weigh fomewhat more than 11b. 
there would be an addition to the whole weight of 
nearly fix ton, or two ton per acre. The cabbages 
were alfo weighed in the drieft weather.

_ {N.B. It thould be ftated, in addition to the above, that 
though the ground was in itfelf fo poor as to be really worth 
no more than 12s. per acre, on the average of the value of 
lands in the Weft of England; it was pretty well manured 
_ But the crop was fo abundant as to add another to the many 
proofs of the importance of cabbages in farming.—Ep.]
