Abstract
BULLETIN NO. 53 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (“cabbages and Related Green Crops” London: H.M. Stationery Office, Price 9d.) has recently been published. It traces the botanical origin of the various green crops, and deals in detail with the soils, rotation, manuring, harvesting and marketing most suitable for cabbages, savoys, Brussels sprouts, cauliflowers and several miscellaneous green crops. A very interesting section deals with the saving of seed in the counties the climate of which is most suitable for this purpose. Pests and diseases are not mentioned in the present pamphlet, since they have been described very fully in other publications of the Ministry.
