BROCOLI.-BRASS1CA BOTRYTIS C YiVIOSA. 



This plant appears to \)e an accidental 

 mixture of the common cabbage and the 

 cauliflower ; and it is said, that it grows in no 

 part of the world to such perfection, as in 

 the neighbourhood of Portsmouth. Our va- 

 rieties of this vegetable are, the Cape, early 

 purple, late purple, early white, late white, 

 and the Siberian. Brocoli occupies a large 

 space in the garden, where it requires near a 

 year to perfect its heads ; but repays us for 

 the time and space by its early arrival in the 

 spring. 



SEA-KALE.— CORAMBLE MARITIMA. 



" Now let sea cabbage also come, 



Though, to the eyes a foe, it blunts the sight." 



Columella. 



Kale, or agreeably to our oldest writers, 

 Sea Colewort, is an excellent vegetable, indi- 

 genous to our southern shores.
