Growth

It may be taken as a universal maxim in gardening, that slow growth and smallness of size increases the intensity of flavour, and that rapidity of growth and increase of size render flavour more mild. Fruit, therefore, should be ripened slowly, and be preferred of a moderate size; but culinary vegetables should be grown rapidly, and of as gigantic a size as may be.
