^il\ci BL(.t or •^wi^'- Chard 



seeds are also much smaller. I recom- 

 mend it and consider it a good acquisi- 

 tion. The seed of this variety is obtained 

 by me from the original source and is 

 the finest stock offered. 



White French §ii^ar, 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 m the New Orleans 

 market. 



BORECOLE, OR CURLED KALE. 



Chou-veet (Fr.j, Gruner Kohl (Ger.;>, Breton iSp.j. 

 Dwarf Oeruiaii Oreeiis. 



A vegetable highly esteemed in the 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. 



Chou Beocoli (rr.\ Spaegel-Kohl (Ger.), Beoculi (Sp.j. 

 Purple Cape. 



Resembles the Cauliflower, but not forming such compact heads, 

 and not quite so white, being of a greenish east. We raise such fine 

 Cauliflower here that very little Broccoli is planted. 



The Purple Cape is the most desirable variety; cultivated the 

 same as Half Early Cauliflower ; further North than New Orleans, 

 where Cauliflower does not succeed, the Broccoli may be substituted, 

 being hardier 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



Chou de Bruxelles iFr.}, Eosen oe Speos- 



SEN Kohl (Ger.), ^Breton de 



Bruselas (Sp.). 



A vegetable cultivated the same as 

 the Cabbage, but very little known here. 

 The small heads which appear along the 

 upper part of the stalk between the 

 leaves, make a fine dish when well i)re- 

 liared.
