"American Cookery The Art of Dressing Viands, Fish, Poultry, and Vegetables"


_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.
