LONELY' LITTLE CABBAGE.
You've' heard .of ' the lonely,
little petunia in the onion
patch, • but. have you ever
heard. of a lonely cabbage in
the cauliflower patch.
Leo. Huber of Lucknow pur-
chased a box of ' cauliflower,
plants this spring from, Mery
Solomon, One plant in the lot
was, always a. jump ahead of
the others in size, and even-.
Nally when it. matured . Leo .
discovered he had one '. cab-
bage in the cauliflower patch.
Now any good gardener would
frown- on such a freak in his''
cauliflower, but Leo"' was, proud
of the cabbage. specimen. Leo
harvested the firm, well de-
veloped cabbage .last week and
it tipped; the scales at.17 lbs.
and is' in the Sentinel window
which, along. with the potatoes,
is becoming •'the garden ' 'cen-
tre of Slain 'street.
• If you have ideas of pro-
ducing cabbages of. this type
come : next. year,"see Mery
Solomon, he ` throws one in.
with every box of cauliflow-
er.'•
