98 Notices of Culinary Vegetables. 



Brocoli. — No vegetable seems to have had so many new 

 varieties produced as BrocoH ; we notice adv^ertisements of 

 at least eight or ten new kinds, none of which we have 

 yet tried. We expect, however, the receipt of some of the 

 seed' of these new varieties, and shall give a fair trial of 

 them ; in the mean time we give the following as the names 

 of a few of them : 



Grainge's New White, Lake's New Superb White, Met- 

 calfs New Pink Cape, Chappel's Early White, Large 

 W^akefield, Chappel's Cream, and Myatt's Cream Brocoli. 



The Brocoli and Cauliflower are much more esteemed 

 now than they were a few years ago, and it is an object to 

 procure the very best kinds for cultivation. 



Peas. — Some new varieties of this fine vegetable have 

 been recently produced, which are said to be excellent. 



The Cedo Nulli. — This variety, which has but recently 

 been introduced, is yet but little known ; its remarkable 

 earliness, and the productiveness of the variety, should 

 place it first among the earhest peas. 



The Milford Marrou-fat already noticed (Vol. VII, p, 

 136), continues to be considered one of the very finest peas 

 among the marrows. It has not, however, yet been intro- 

 duced. 



Prince Albert Pea. — This is the name of a new pea 

 stated to be " one of the earliest and best sorts extant;" in 

 proof of this it is asserted that " a quantity put into the 

 open ground on the 14th of March last, was ready for use 

 on the 2.5th of April following, being only forty-two days 

 from the period of solving to the date of gathering for the 

 table ; it is moreover a good bearer, of excellent quality, 

 and highly advantageous for early forcing. If it possesses 

 the earliness here attributed to it, it is certainly one of the 

 most desirable for an early crop. As eight veeks is about 

 as short a space of time as any of our present varieties 

 will arrive at sufiicient growth for the table. 



Other new kinds are Flack's Dwarf Blue Victory, 

 Farnes's superior first early, and the Improved Giant Mar- 

 row Peas. 



Radishes. — Only two varieties of Radishes appear to have 

 been produced, and these are of French origin. One is 

 called the early French Olive-shaped, and the other the 



Long-leaved White Turnip Radish. — It is described in 

 the Bon Jardinier for 1841, as a good new variety of au-
