There is an admirable kitchen-garden here, with the walls covered with the very best kinds of peaches, nectarines, and pears, all in fine order, while the fig ripens as a standard. We observed a very excellent kind of cabbage, which we were informed, by the gardener, Mr. Elworthy, was raised between the Paington and Cornish cabbages, and which is called the Nettlecombe cabbage. We brought away some seeds, thinking it might be a desirable cabbage for a cottager, and we shall leave them with Mr. Charlwood and Mr. Carter, Holborn, for distribution in small quantities to whoever may apply for them. We have also given the same parties a portion of the true Paington cabbage seed procured at Paington, and a portion of the true Cornish procured at Plymouth, for the same purpose. The Cornish cabbages which we have seen in the gardens in Devonshire are very different from those which we have seen called by this name in other parts of England, and very superior.
