White French Sugar Beet. Silver Beet or Swiss Chard. 
White French Sugar, is used the same as the foregoing; not 
much planted. 
Silver Beet or Swiss Chard. This variety is cultivated for 
its large, succulent leaves, which are used for the same purposes as 
Spinach. It is very popular in the New Orleans market. 
BORECOLE OR CURLED KALE. 
CHOU-VERT (FY.), GRUNER KouL (Ger.), BRETON (Sp.). 
Dwarf German Greens. 
A vegetable highly esteemed in Northern part of Europe, but very 
little cultivated in this country. It requires frost to make it good for 
the table. Treated the same as Cabbage. 
BROCCOLI. 
Cuov Brocoui (Fr.), Brocoti SparGeL-Kout (Ger.), Brocuxi (Sp.). 
Purple Cape. 
Resembles the Cauliflower, but not forming such compact heads, 
and not quite so white, being of a greenish cast. We raise such fine 
Cauliflower here that very little Broccoli is raised. 
The Purple Cape is the most desirable variety; cultivated the 
same as Half Early Caulifiower; further North than New Orleans, 
where Cauliflower does not succeed, the Broccoli may be substituted, 
being more hardy. |
