• "Cabbages. [...] There is a further division into Spring Cabbage, which may be cut either when semi-hearted, as 'spring greens', or when hearted; Summer to Autumn cabbage, cut from June to October; and Winter cabbage."

• "Spring Cabbage. This term is used for young cabbage, regardless of season. Increasing popularity in recent years has made it worthwhile for growers to extend the period of production; by commencing sowing in June, they have made 'Spring cabbage available from October to June."
