An extraordinary photograph, yet il
depicts very common sight in the
gardens of Jersey, Channel islands. The
cabbages shown have attained the
height of from five to ten feet. They
are OF the Brussels sprouts species.
and the small cabbages growing in clus-

same as those indigenous to our gar
dens, although they are not so sweet to
the palate. In no other part of the
world do these cabbages reach such an
abnormal height. Repeated efforts have
been made to cultivate them in England.

their success was only of a mediocre de-

The advantages claimed for this cask
are great durability, strength and ex-
ceptionally small repairs. The first
cost is greater than that of wooden
barrel, but the extreme length of life
and freedom from loss of contents by
breakage, leakage, etc. more than com
pensate for this. There is no loss by
