REPORT ON BROCCOLIS. 447 



Lee's Sproutingr 



J. & 0. Lee. 



This is a variety of Spring White Broccoli, which iu its best 

 state forms a good-sized terminal head about 8 inches across, 

 and produces from the axils of the leaves smaller heads, about 

 the size of walnuts. It is very rarely, however, that this character 

 is met with, the great bulk of the crop having the appearance of 

 a spurious stock of Spring White Broccoli, 



Veiteh's Sprouting^ .... Veitch & Bo^. 



From the appearance that this and the preceding variety of 

 White Sprouting Broccoli presented, it was the opinion of the 

 Committee that neither of these was a variety desirable for culti- ' 



vation. 



T 



Mitchinson's Penzance , * ... Turner. 



Early White Cornish , . . * . Turner. 

 Mltchinson's Early White . . . . Carter, 



One of the best of the Spring Whites. The leaves are very much 

 waved on the margin, and inclose very large and fine heads, which 

 are almost of a pure white colour. This is a very hardy sort, 

 and comes into use about the 90th of March. 



Ambler's Early White .... Minier & Co. 



Also one of the best Spring Whites. It is remarkably hardy, and 

 produces a very large creamy-white head, and very uniform in 

 size. It may easily be distinguished from the preceding by its 

 winged leaf, that of Mitchiuson's being interrupted. It comeS 

 into use about the :i2nd of March. 



Kidderminster .... Butler & McCulloch. 



The head is large and handsome, of pure whiteness, and very 

 much exposed. It is evidently a form of Wilcove, and lias np 

 doubt emanated from that variety; but it is a little earlier, having 

 come into use on the 20th of March. 



Chappers Cream , . . . . Veitch & Sok. 



A very hardy and very fine Broccoli, coming into use about the 

 same time as Ambler's. It produces large creamy heads. 



D. Late Bering White J^roccoli. 



Wilcove 



Veitch & Son. 



The true Wilcove is a perfectly distinct variety from every other
