1 90 VEGETABLES FOR EXHIBITION 



quired before the winter months, they are of little 

 value before then, as plenty of other green vegetables 

 are generally available before them. Two sowings 

 should always be made, the first with the usual winter 

 greens and the second the first week in May. When 

 the space at command is limited, Savoys may be well 

 grown if planted between early Potatoes. They are 

 not particular as to soil, and no manure need be used 

 when the land is good. Put the plants in with a crow- 

 bar, on ground previously occupied with Peas, Broad 

 Beans or a similar crop, and digging is not required. 



Allow twenty-two inches between the plants and 

 two feet between the rows. Thoroughly water in and 

 keep the ground well stirred with the hoe. 



Plant the later sowings on deeply dug ground with 

 a little manure worked in. 



Carter's Giant Green, Sutton's Perfection and 

 Drumhead are excellent, the latter perhaps a little 

 coarse, but extremely valuable in severe weather on 

 account of its hardiness. For small gardens Tom 

 Thumb is a well-flavoured, desirable variety and 

 should be always planted eighteen inches apart. Ex- 

 hibition Savoys should be of medium size according 

 to the variety, perfectly firm and as much alike as 

 possible, both in size and in shape.
