The _Green Savoy_, with the richest crinkles, is fine and tender; and
altho' they do not head like the Dutch or Yorkshire, yet the tenderness of the out leaves is a counterpoise, it will last thro' the winter, and are high flavored. _The Yellow Savoy_, takes next rank, but will not last so long; all Cabbages will mix, and participate of other species, like Indian Corn; they are culled, best in plants; and a true gardener will, in the plant describe those which will head, and which will not. This is new, but a fact. The gradations in the Savoy Cabbage are discerned by the leaf; the richest and most scollup'd, and crinkled, and thickest Green Savoy, falls little short of a _Colliflour_. The red and redest small tight heads, are best for _slaw_, it will not boil well, comes out black or blue, and tinges, other things with which it is boiled. _BEANS._ _The Clabboard Bean_, is easiest cultivated and collected, are good for string beans, will shell--must be poled. _The Windsor Bean_, is an earlier, good string, or shell Bean. _Crambury Bean_, is rich, but not universally approved equal to the other two. |
