Cow Cabbage, or Cesarian Kail. 



The Subscriber has lately received, from London, a 

 small quantity of this very valuable and rare vegetable, 

 which, though little known in America, will probably 

 soon rank high in cultivation and esteem, there being no 

 species of vegetable in this country resembling this pro- 

 lific plant; its peculiar qualities are, that, in winter, par- 

 ticularly in severe frosts and deep snows, when other i 

 green fodder for cattle cannot be had, this plant, from its j 

 elevation, (growing to four or five feel) and its natural 

 hardiness, yields abundant and successful supplies, which 

 is an important desideratum. The mode of using it for 

 cattle is, by cutting off the large leaves, as wanted ; when 

 a re;'"ular succession lakes pl.ice continually through the 

 winter; very early in the spring, (previous lo most other 

 vegetables^ it produces vast numbers of large delicious 

 sprouts for the table, equal in sweetness to asparagus; so 

 that it may be said to produce two crops. Cows fed on 

 this plant give a greater quantity of milk, and the butter 

 is of a richer flavor than when fed on any other vegetable. 

 A matter, also, of great utility, is that of its comforting 

 and cheering qualities in Ihe feeding ewes in the winter, 

 while suckling house-lambs. It should be sown in the 

 spring, bioad cast and transplanted at the distance of about 

 two feet. When sown in July with turnips, it answers an 

 admirable purpose, as few crops are more subject to fail 

 than that oi the turnip, whereas Ihe Cesserian Ksil (oi- 

 Cow Cabbage, more prope_rly called) may be depended 

 on. It is so prolific and hardy that it will vegetate well in 

 almost any soil or climate, and prosper even in Ihe shade of 

 fruit andoiher trees. — Price 12.-1 ets per paper.

 bearing Strawberry, without runirers, recently raised in

 strawberries exhaust the parent pbinls. and prevent them 

 from bearing fruit in any qutifctity. They should be planl- 

 eil in a shady place, in a rich soil, about 15 inches apart — 

 too much sun injures their fruiting. Though well calcu- 

 l-ited for garden culture for- frurt, they also nrake a beau- 

 tiful plant when cultivated in pots, for ornament only, as 

 they are of vigorous growth, atrd are covered with flow- 

 ers and fruit at the same lime from June lo December. —
