Book Description

Excerpt from The Maule Seed Book for 1904 It is an astonishing thing how few of my Customers are acquainted with the fact that the Savoy cabbages are far superior to all others in flavor, and are preferred by almost all who have tried them for use in the home garden; This variety of Savoy cabbage I secured when in France last season, and I list it at the solicitation of one of the most prominent seedsmen in Europe. It is very distinct from all other Savoys; it is, so to say, an Oxheart cabbage with crimpled savoy leaves. It is so short stemmed that the heads seem to lie on the soil. It has but few outer leaves, which are coarsely crimped, of a yellowish green color. It is the earliest of Savoy cabbages, and when sown in the spring is fit for use at the same time as other early cabbages.
