formed beautiful heads of uniform closeness. The following are notes re- 

 specting it from Mr. Legge : — " For the supply of a family, sow the 3rd week 

 in April, middle and end of May, the middle and end of June, and the 

 middle and end of July. This attention will give a regular supply till the 

 end of the year. I had a regular supply last year till January 2 1st. For 

 the purpose of sowing seed, I recommend to sow my Walcheren Brocoli at 

 the time that the winter Cauliflower is sown, say about the 25th or 27th of 

 August, and winter the plants under hand-glasses as Cauliflowers. Give 

 them good soil, not too light, nor leave more than 3 or 4 plants under each 

 glass, and let them be well attended to with respect to air." Those who have 

 the means ought to take the greatest possible care to save this variety from 

 degeneration; for it is more deserving of attention than all the races of 

 sulphur, purple, and cream-coloured Brocolis put together; some amongst 

 these may be good as regards size and quality, but the colour is always ob- 

 jectionable, and no one would certainly think of using any except white, if 

 he could help it. There is now no necessity in almost any case, for by 

 timely sowings the Walcheren will afford a long and excellent supply 

 equal in quality and appearance to Cauliflower. 



K>now's Superb White Winter Brocoli. — This was obtained from Mr. 

 Glendinning, nurseryman. Turnham-green. It is a dwarf variety, with 

 broad leaves and short petioles. The head is large, very compact, and as 

 white as a Cauliflower. If sown in the beginning of May, it comes into use 

 in November, and three successional sowings at intervals of a fortnight will 

 give a winter supply. — R. Thompson.
