Cabbages of all kinds are very dear this fall, which makes 

 the profits of a good crop figure remarkably high. 



Marblehead, Nov. 8, 1872. 

 This is to certify that I have this day measured the piece of 

 land on the farm of James J. H. Gregory, Esq., on which his 

 Improved American Savoy Cabbages are now growing, and 

 find it to contain 27,000 feet.

I enter for premium one lot of Stone Mason Cabbage, con- 

 taining an area of 47,808 feet. This piece was planted June 

 12th, the seed being dropped into hills averaging two feet 

 apart, while the rows average three feet apart. The land, 

 which was in sward, was broken up this spring and received a 

 good coat of very rich manure, at the rate of eight cords to the 

 acre. The manure was a compost of muck, clay, rotten kelp, 

 herring and the heads and sound bones of fresli fish with some 

 glue manure. The manure was worked in by Shares' harrow. 

 The crop received the same treatment as the piece of Savoy, 

 with the exception that the cut-worms having worked l)adly, 

 much of it had to be replanted in parts several times over.
