BORECOLE OR CURLED KALE. 



Chou-vert, (Fr.) Gruener Kohl, (Ger.) Breton, (Sp.) 



Dwarf Oernian Oreens. 



4- vegetable highly esteemed in northern part of Europe, but very 

 little cultivated in this country. It requires frost to make it good. 

 Treated the same as Cabbage. 



BROCCOLL 



Chou Brocoli, (Fr.) Brocoli Spargel-Kohl, (Ger.) Broculi, (Sp.) 

 Purple Cape. 



Kesembles 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 Cauliflower; further North than New Orleans, where 

 Cauliflower does not succeed, the Broccoli may be substituted, being- 

 more hardy. 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



Chou de Bruxelles, (Fr.) Eosen or Sprossen Kohl, (Ger.) 

 Breton de Bruselas, (Sp.) 



Brussels Sprouts. 



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 prepared.
