William Lee, Esq. who has recently arrived in 

 Leeds from France, has brought a small quantity 

 of the seed of the cow-cabbage, which he had dis- 

 tributed anionget his acquaintance, in order to 

 have a fair trial made as to its ailaptation to this 

 climate. The introduction of this tree cabbage 

 may be of essential service to the community. In 

 PiyiiKiuth it has been seen growing in the garden 

 of Adniual Brooking to the height of eight feet, 

 and in La Vendee it attains 



to 16 or even more feet. It should be planted in 

 a warm and sheltered situation ; sixty plants are 

 said to afford sufficient provender for one cow for 

 a year, and as the side shoots are only to be used, 



it lasts four years without fresh planting London
