Roundelay To Cabbages
THE stars have been done to death, we've heard all we want to about love and roses; let Jme sing a roundelay to the neglected cabbage. And yet, who would sav, after deliberation, that a cabbagc has not some pretensions? To be lionest, sha must often yield in looks to her sister, the cauliflower, who, at her best, can be a comely sight even if a trifle heavy as to ornament —what you might almost call a bouquet in stucco. But Nature hag a million devices. The snowflake. the snowdrop, the snowberrv, the ladybird, pink petals from a blossom show that she can be as exquisite in the tiny as in ilir largescalc performances.
