BROCCOLI. 



Chou Brocoli, (Ft.) 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

BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



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



Breton de Bruselas, (Sp.) 





Brussels Sprouts. 

 A vegetable cultivated the same as the cabbage, but very little known

CABBAGE. 



Chou Pomme, (Fr.) Kopfkohl, (Ger.) Bepollo, (Sp.) 



Early York. 

 Early Large Yore. 

 Early Sugar Loaf. 

 Early Large Oxheart. 

 Early Winningstadt. 

 Jersey Wakefield. 

 Early Flat Dutch. 

 Large Flat Brunswick. 



Fotler's Improved Brunswick. 

 Large Late Drumhead. 

 Superior Flat Dutch. 

 Bed Dutch (for Pickling). 

 Green Globe Savoy. 

 Early Dwarf Savoy. 

 Drumhead Savoy. 

 St. Denis or Chou Bonneuil.

 To raise large Cabbage without good soil, and without working the 

 plants well, is an impossibility. Cabbage is sown here almost in every 

 month of the year, but the seed for a main crop should be sown from 

 July to September ; some sow earlier, but July is time enough. For a
