HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 



THE SAVOY CABBAGE 



A KIND of cabbage differing from that discussed on 

 preceding pages by having distinctly "crumpled" 

 or crimped leaves. The most important thing about 

 savoy cabbage, however, is its superlative quality. 

 Eaten while quite young (as all cabbages should be) 

 Savoy rivals Brussels Sprouts in delicate flavor. It is of 

 milder flavor than the white or common cabbages at all 

 stages of development. 



Savoy is distinctly a home garden cabbage, because its 

 big, spreading growth makes it an undesirable type for 

 market. Because of this, Savoy is not as well-known as 

 its merits deserve it to be. But since the plants are easily 

 grown, every home garden should have a row of Savoy 

 cabbage, the general cultivation of which is the same as 

 that of other cabbage. Plants should be set at least two 

 feet apart each way. American Drumhead Savoy is the 

 standard sort for all sections. It matures in 150 days 

 from date seeds are sown.
