which comes in earlier than the Portsmouth, and con- 
tinues to produce throughout the winter. Sow about the 
middle of April and first week in May.

Heads large, with a close surface. In use in March. 
Danish or Late Green.—Leaves long, narrow, much 
undulated. Heads tolerably large, compact, exposed, and 
of a greenish colour; fit for use in April and May. The

lw

late crop of Cauliflowers. Sown in the first and third 
weeks of May, beautiful heads are produced in October, 
November, and December. 
Green Cape.—Leaves long, narrow, veins and midribs 
green. Head greenish, generally covered by the leaves; 
comes into use in October and November, from sow- 
ings in the middle of May, and in December if sown

Green Close-headed.—Dwarf and hardy, leaves large, 
waved, veins white. Heads middle-sized, exposed, of 
a greenish colour. Sown in the third week of May, it 
produces a succession of compact heads from Novem- 
ber till the end of February. 
Knight's Protecting (Frogmore Protecting).—One of 
the hardiest of the white sorts, excellent when true, 
but is apt to degenerate. The leaf-stalks are twisted, 
so as to encompass and protect the head, which is very 
large and white. Sow in the third week in April and 
second week in May. This is the parent of many late 
white varieties, having the protecting character of 
twisted leaf-stalks.

short, dark-green, deeply indented. Heads small, coni- 
cal, deep-purple, becoming fit for use in May. Sow in

being well protected by its leaves it winters well. It is 
largely grown for market. Sow late in April. 
Mitchinson’s Penzance (Early White Cornish).—Leaves 
much undulated on the margin; heads large, compact, pure 
white. Is extensively grown in Cornwall for the London 
markets, and comes into use in April. Too tender for

and midrib stained with purple. Heads middle- 
sized, compact, purplish-green, the whole becom-

the second week in June. 
Snow’s White Winter.—Dwarf habit; leaves 
broad, with short petioles. Heads large, very 
compact, well protected with leaves, white, and

is produced through the winter. The principal sowing 
is, however, made in the first or second week of May;

to be cleared of the previous crop in time to receive the 
Broccoli plants sown in the beginning of May, before
