CHOU DE BURGHLEY 



THIS plant belongs to the Brassicas, and is part 

 cabbage and part Brocoli, and is doubtless the result 

 of a cross, but all the same is really a very excellent 

 vegetable for autumn and winter supplies. This 

 was raised by the late Mr Gilbert, a good grower 

 of vegetables,, and is well worth room in all gardens. 

 As regards its quality few persons could find a more 

 delicious vegetable, as the small hearts or Brocoli portion 

 of the plant is really first rate, and if used as a cabbage 

 it is excellent. It needs similar culture to the early 

 Brocoli. Sown in March, and planted out in May, 2 

 feet apart, in good land deeply dug and manured it does 

 well. It is very hardy, and grows freely in the northern 

 or exposed portions of the country. I have had two 

 lots of plants, an early and later one ; and grown thus 

 there is a long supply.
