THE CABBAGE BUTTERFLIES. 
In this northern clime, where fruit is comparatively scarce and difficult to grow, 
great store is naturally set by the vegetable garden, which our intense though 
brief summers develop in remarkable perfection. 
Among our most important garden crops is the cabbage. This delicious and 
healthful esculent thrives greatly in our quick, rich soil, and is noted for a solidity 
of structure and delicacy of flavor not excelled, if even attamed to, in any other 
part of the world. These qualities render it one of our most marketable products 
and a source of no small profit to the producer.
