Cow Cabbage, or Cesosrian Kail. 



The Subscriber has lately received, from London, a 

 small quantity of this very valuable and rare vciietable, 

 which, though little known in ,\merica, will probably 

 soon rank high in cultivation and esteem, there being no 

 species of vegetable in this country rescnrblinn- this pro- 

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

 ticularly in severe frosts and deep snows, when other 

 Srccn fodder for cattle cannot be had, this plant, from its 

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

 hardiness, yields abundant and successful supplies, vrhich 

 is an imp irlant desideratum. Tire mcxie of using it for 

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

 a regular siiccessioti takes place continually through the 

 winter; very early in the spring, (pi-evious to most other 

 vegetables^ it produces va-t 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 butler 

 is of .1 richer flavor than when fed on any other vegetable. 

 .V matter, also, of great utility, is that of its comforting 

 and cheering qualities in the feeding ewes in the winter, 

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

 spring, broad 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 sirbject to fiil 

 th.in that ol the turnip, whereas the CesEprian Kail (or 

 Cow Cabbage, more properly culled) maybe depended 

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

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

 fruit and other trees. — Piice 12^ cts per paner.

 loo much sun injures their huitiiig. Thoirgh well caicu- 

 l-ited tor garden culture for fruit, they also make a beau-
