FEE.] HEYXOLD'S CABBAGE-TURNIP. 73 



soot sown over each rod. A cabbage-nursery rnn- 

 not be too rich, nor too much care taken to have 

 fine strong plants, by afterwards thinning carefully. 

 If this crop is meant to be cultivated on a large 

 scale, an acre of land should be well inclosed for a 

 nursery, kept highly manured, and the seed drilled 

 at nine inches, for the purpose of weeding and 

 hoeing. 



SORT OF CABBAGE. 



The great American cabbage, which thirty years 

 ago was to be had, and which came to 50, 60, and 

 even SOlb. weight, is, I fear, lost at present. The 

 great cattle cabbage, the great Scotch, the Drum- 

 head, the Dutch, and other sorts, are not distinct 

 varieties, and little dependence is to be placed on 

 the manner in which orders to seedsmen are exe- 

 cuted. A farmer should, at first,, get the best stock 

 he can, and then trust only to the seed he raises 

 himself. At present, I am inclined to believe, that 

 the best sort to be procured,, is the large red cab- 

 bage. It comes to a good size, and is hardier than 

 most others, green boor cole, brown cole, rape, 

 chou de vache, &c. may now be also sown for 

 transplantation. 



REYNOLP S CABBAGE-TURNIP. 

 The latter end of the month is the proper time, 

 if the weather be open, for sowing the seed of this 

 plant, if it be intended for transplantation. There 

 are some objections to it, on comparison with the 

 ruta baga, particularly its being still harder, and 

 growing more with fangs, whereby it is more diffi- 

 cult
