The brown, green, or purple kinds, an- 

 fwer beft for early crops, and the wLke, 

 for the principal and late. 



Keep them clean of weeds, and when the 

 plants are fairly eftabliftied and begin to 

 grow, let a little earth be drawn up to 

 their ftems, which will greatly promote 

 their growth. Before the leaves expand fo 

 as to cover the ground, let them be finally 

 moulded up 3 and this is to be obferved alfo 

 for cauliflower, cabbage, favoys, &c. 



In fine feafons, it will fometimes happen, 

 that the early crops of brocoli get too for- 

 ward, and are unfit to Hand the Winter 

 frofts. When this appears to be the cafe, 

 in the end of Odober or firfl of November 

 the plants fhould either be lifted entirely 

 and foughed in on another fpot, or they 

 fhould be heeled and laid over in a floping 

 pofition where they ftand. Being thus 

 checked, and their hearts guarded from 

 the weather, they will better endure the fe- 

 yerity of Winter.
