Green cabbage worms and loopers can do a lot of damage to 
cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli — 5% DDT easily controls them. 
DDT should not be used within 30 days of harvest; Rotenone is a 
good, safe insecticide for this period.

LATE CABBAGE VARIETIES 
*148 CHIEFTAIN SAVOY: 90 days. Savoy 
cabbage has become the most popular med- 
ium late variety for our own table use. If 
you have never eaten Savoy cabbage, you

pleasant appetizing flavor not found in or- 
dinary kinds. The heads grow large, firm, 
round in shape and are heavily blistered or 
“savoyed” throughout. Be sure to wait 
until the heads are fully mature before eat- 
ing; if used before ripening it is apt to be 
tough and somewhat strong.

We think it is too bad more people don’t know 
about Savoy Cabbage. Chieftain Savoy is a late 
fall and winter cabbage. Don’t try to eat it early 
in the season while it is still green. Wait until 
it is fully ripe and you will have a real treat 
either in salad, coleslaw, or cooked with ham or 
corned beef. Each year down on the farm we put 
in a couple of rows of Chieftain Savoy for our 
own use.
