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.
