The two varieties known in this country are the English and the French—distinguished, also, as early and late. The French only is suitable for cultivation here; especially in the colder regions, as it is earlier. This is cultivated in every way like cabbage.

Seeds may be raised in the same way, and with the same precautions, as cabbage; but it is generally imported.
