Herbage-vegetables may be defined as those which yield us nutriment in shoots developed above ground. They include "pot-herbs" and certain "salads." The most nutritive part is in some cases the tender and more or less thickened stem, as with asparagus and kohlrabi. Sometimes as in kale, borecole, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts, watercress, spinach, and lettuce the leaves are of most importance. With celery the leafstalk is the part employed, while in the cauliflower it is the much branched and thickened flower-stalk, together with the innumerable buds which it bears.
