It is a fact that does not appear to be generally known that we have among the Savoys some remark- ably early sorts which rank with the earliest varieties of cabbage grown. Pancalier and Early Ulm Savoy are earlier than that old standard of earliness, Early York, Pancalier being somewhat earlier than Ulm. Pancalier is characterized by very coarsely blistered leaves, of the darkest green color ; the heads usually gather together, being the only exception I know of to the rule that cabbage heads are made up of over-lapping leaves, wrapped closely together. It has a short stump, and with high cultivation is reliable for heading. The leaves nearest the head though not forming a part of it are quite ten- der, and may be cooked with the head. Plant fifteen by thirty Early Ulm Savoy- is a few days later than Pancalier, and makes a larger head; the leaves ^" are of a lighter green and not so coarsely Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Gregory, James J.
