CABBAGES, HOW TO GROW THEM, ETC. 55 



Golden Savoy differs from other varieties in the 

 color of the head, which rises from the body of light 

 green leaves, of a singular pale yellow color, as though 

 blanched. The stumps are long, and the head rather 

 small, a portion of these growing pointed. It is very 

 late, not worth cultivating except as a curiosity. 



Norwegian Savoy. This is a singular half cab- 

 bage, half kale— at least, so it has proved under my 

 cultivation. The leaves are long, narrow, tasselated, 

 and somewhat blistered. The whole appearance is very 

 singular and rather ornamental. I have tried this cab- 

 bage twice, but have never got beyond the possible 

 promise of a head. 



Victoria Savoy, Russian Savoy and Cape 

 Savoy, tested in my experimental garden, did not 

 prove desirable either for family use or for market pur- 

 poses. 



Feather Stemmed Savoy. This is a cross be- 

 tween the Savoy and brussels sprouts, having the habit 

 of growth of brussels sprouts. 



I will add notes on a few other varieties in my ex- 

 perimental plot : 



Large Brunswick Short-Stemmed. (English 

 seed.) Late, long stumped, wild, plenty of leaves, al- 

 most no head ; bears but a slight resemblance to Fot- 

 tler's Drumhead. 



Early Empress. Cabbages well; heads conical ; 

 early. 



Robinson's Champion Ox Drumhead. Stump 

 long ; heads soft and not very large ; wild. 



English Winnigstadt. Long stumped ; irregular; 

 not to be compared with French stock.
