  Woman:     Today,we continue talking about vegetable and fodder plants.We spoke of other types of these,including kale and collards,previously.Today we will review what is normally reffered to as cabbage in common conversation.     Cabbage is a common vegetable native to England and northwestern France but now grown in many parts of Europe,Asia,and the American continents.There are three kinds of cabbage,all with the same basic characteristic;The leaves grow very close together,forming a hard,round head.The three types of cabbage are white,savoy,and red.While the white and red cabbages have prominent veins in the coir leaves,savoy has wrinkled and blistered leaves.All forms of cabbage have succulent leaves covered with a waxy coating.They are low in calories,have little fat,ad are an excellent source of ascorbic acid,minerals,and bulk,which helps digestion.     Cabbage seeds are quite small.Farners normally sow the seeds in rows that are about 36 inc...

            Perhaps better known than the Cullinan Diamond is the Hope Diamond,a valuable and rare blue gem with a background of more than 300 years as a world traveler.The 112-carat blue stone that later became the Hope Diamond was mined in India sometime before the middle of the seventeenth century and was first known to be  ownded by Shah Jahan,who built the Taj Mahal in memory of his beloved wife. From India,the celebratad blue stone has  changed hands often,moving from location to location in distant corners of the world.
            In the middle of the seventeenth century,a trader from France named Jean Baptiste Tavernier acquired the large blue diamond,which was rumored to have been ilegally removed from a temple.Tavernier returned to France with the big blue gem,where the stone was purchased by the sun King,Louis XIV.Louis XVI had it cut down from 112 to 67 carats to make its shape symmetrical and to maximize its sparkle.The newly cut diamond,still huge by any standards,was passed down through the royal family of France,until it arrived in the hands of Louis  XVI and Marie Antoinette.During the French Revolution,Louis XVI and his wife met their fate on the guillotine in 1793,and the big blue diamond disappeared from public sight.
            The diamond somehow managed to get from France to England,where banker Henry Hope purchased it from a gem dealer early in the nineteenth century.The huge blue stone was cut into a 45-5-carat oval,and at this point it took on the name by which it is known today.The diamond stayed in the Hope family for around a century;when deep indebtedness brought on by a serious gambling habit on the part of one of Henry Hope's heirs forced the sale of the diamond.
            From England,the Hope Diamond may have made its way into the hands of the Sultan of Turkey;whatever route it took to get there,it eventually went on to the United States when American Evelyn Walsh McLean purchased it in  1911.Mrs.McLean certainly enjoyed showing the diamond off;guests in her home were sometimes astounded to  the huge stone embellishing the neck of Mrs.McLean's Great Dane as  the huge pet trotted around the grounds of her Washington,D.C. home.The Hope Diamond later became the property of jeweler Harry Winston,who presented the stunning 45.5- carat piece to the Smithsonian in 1958.The Hope Diamond is now taking a well-earned rest following its rigorous travel itinerary and is on display at the Smithsinian Institution in Washington,D.C,where it has been since 1958.
