Though generally called a Savoy, this plant is sufficiently 
distinct to form a class by itself. It is said to be across 
between the Savoy and Brussels Sprouts, and might be 
called a Brussels Sprouts with a Savoy leaf. Plant 12 to 18 
inches tall, leaves large, deep bluish-green, little glaucous, 
spreading, oval, petioled or sessile, rather densely blistered, 
with entire margin and plain border. The smaller terminal 
leaves embrace each other loosely, forming the semblance 
of ahead. The axillary buds are largely developed as in 
Brussels Sprouts, though as grown at the Station they did 
not usually form compact miniature heads. 
No. 85. Besides the cabbages described in the foregoing 
list, six were grown of which the plants were too variable 
for description, as follows : 
Bloomsdale Bullock Heart, Land., ’84, ’85, 786. Appar- 
ently allied to the Large Oxheart. 
Early Bonanza, Buist, ’86. Also allied to the Oxhearts. 
se any Mongabella, Dam., ’86. Seemed allied to the St. 
enis. 
Earliest Vesuvius, Dam., ’86. <A very large, flat-headed? 
bluish-green cabbage ; in season rather late. 
Early Wymai, Greg., ’86; Sib., °86. Produced flattened 
aed, and oxheart shaped heads. In season it was first 
early. 
Erfurt Large Late, H. & 8. Seemed allied to Brunswick 
Short-Stem, but was decidedly less dwarf.
