THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



Early Flat Green Curled Savoy Cabbage.— Stem rather 

 long ; leaves a somewhat glaucous green, largish and pliant, and 



not so finely crimped 

 as those of the preced- 

 ing kind. It somewhat 

 resembles the Large 

 Drumhead Savoy, but 

 has a much smaller head. 

 It is one of the most 

 extensively cultivated 

 kinds, and is chiefly 

 worthy of note as being 

 hardy, and not particular 

 as to the soil in which it ) 

 is grown. 



The American vari- 

 eties are : Perfection 

 Drumhead Savoy, Globe Curled Savoy, and the Improved American 

 Savoy. There is very little difference between these and the Early 

 Flat Green Curled Savoy Cabbage ; and the same may be said of 

 the Marvin's Savoy, another American variety, except that is a little 

 larger and rather later. 



Tours Savoy Cabbage. — Stem short ; leaves very large and 

 numerous, very dark green, and coarsely and broadly crimped, the 

 outer ones almost entirely spreading on the ground ; head round, 

 rather small in proportion to the size of the plant, not very compact, 



Early Flat Green Curled Savoy Cabbage. Tours Savoy Cabbage (tV natural size). 



and often imperfectly formed. As in the case of the Dwarf Green 

 Curled Savoy, the outer leaves form as important a part of the crop 

 as the head. 



This variety resembles the Early Joulin Savoy Cabbage^ but the 

 latter is an earlier and smaller kind. 



Aire Savoy Cabbage. — A very distinct short-stemmed variety ; 

 .the outer leaves are not much developed, allowing of close planta- 

 tion. Head almost round, medium-sized, firm, and very full, 

 weighing 4 lb. and over when well grown. The leaves are pale 



Dwarf Roblet Savoy Cabbage.
