Abstract
THE second edition of Bulletin No. 53 of the Ministry of Agriculture (“Cabbages and Related Green Crops”; H.M. Stationery Office, pp. 60.1s. 3d. net) was issued in November 1933. It deals with the commercially useful variants of the wild Brassica oleracea, namely, cabbages and savoys, Brussels sprouts, cauliflowers, broccoli and kale. Details of cultivation in many districts are combined with extensive notes on the economic uses of various products, and numerous methods of marketing are given. Production and harvesting of seed are also discussed. The volume is designed to help the grower, and should do this effectively. A chapter on the cultivation of Brassicce as farm crops has been added to the material published in the first edition, and the whole text has been improved by the incorporation of much recent knowledge.
