ket. _Cabbage_, requires a page, they are so multifarious. Note, all Cabbages have a higher relish that grow on _new unmatured grounds_; if grown in an old town and on old gardens, they have a rankness, which at times, may be perceived by a fresh air traveller. This observation has been experienced for years--that Cabbages require new ground, more than Turnips. _The Low Dutch_, only will do in old gardens. The _Early Yorkshire_, must have rich soils, they will not answer for winter, they are easily cultivated, and frequently bro't to market in the fall, but will not last the winter. 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. _Frost Bean_, is good only to shell. _Six Weeks Bean_, is a yellowish Bean, and early bro't forward, and tolerable. _Lazy Bean_, is tough, and needs no pole. _English Bean_, what _they_ denominate the _Horse Bean_, is mealy when young, is profitable, easily cultivated, and may be grown on worn out grounds; as they may be raised by boys, I cannot but recommend the more extensive cultivation of them. _The small White Bean_, is best for winter use, and excellent. _Calivanse_, are run out, a yellow small bush, a black speck or eye, are tough and tasteless, and little worth in cookery, and scarcely bear exportation. _Peas_--_Green Peas._ _The Crown Imperial_, takes rank in point of flavor, they blossom, p
