SAVOY CABBAGES

the Dwarf Green Curled Savoy, a fine medium-sized variety, are 

 three kinds highly 'deserving recommendation. The first two kinds 

 should be planted i ft. apart. 



The Vienna Savoy is a sub-variety of the Ulm Savoy, with 

 leaves not so much crimped, and a rather oblong head. A very 

 small and very early kind. 



Very Early Paris Savoy Cabbage.— This variety is closely 

 allied to the preceding one, but also very distinct from it. Head 

 round and firm, light green, and surrounded by a few spreading 

 not very large leaves, rather dark green in colour, and more broadly 

 crimped than those of the foregoing variety. The Very Early 

 Paris Savoy is remarkable for its symmetrical and regular shape

(y\ natural size). 



and dwarf stature. It heads almost as quickly as the York 

 Cabbages or the earliest Ox-heart varieties. 



Dwarf Early Green Curled Savoy Cabbage. — An excellent 

 variety, very distinct, and of first-rate quality. Stem very short ; 

 leaves large and broad, rather deep green, very finely crimped, and 

 spreading on the ground in a broad rosette before the head is 

 formed ; head firm, moderately flattened. This variety is exten- 

 "sively grown about Paris for the winter markets. It is sown all 

 -through the summer, planted out permanently just as winter 

 commences, and supplies the markets all through the winter. 

 Generally the head is only beginning to form when the plants 

 are cut, but the numerous outer leaves, which closely surround the 

 head, form an excellent vegetable after they have been softened 

 and made tender by frosty weather. 



Dwarf Roblet Savoy Cabbage. — A small and excellent variety, 

 very dwarf and half-early. The outer leaves are glaucous green, 

 short, and finely crimped, spreading on the ground. The head is 

 flat and rather broad, and close to the ground. Its small size and 

 the shortness of the outer leaves allow of its being grown very 

 close ; therefore a good cabbage for small gardens as well as a 

 field variety.
