BROCCOLI 



livpRovED Mammoth Long Red 

 Mangel Wurzel 



Although originating from a very distinct type, the modern improved sorts of 

 Broccoli can scarcely be distinguished from cauliflower, the points of difference 

 being that they are generally taller and the heads more divided. The culture 

 is the same in all essential particulars as that given for cauliflower. 

 Broccoli is grown most successfully where the season is long, cool and rather moist. One of the most valuable fea- 

 tures is that it withstands greater extremes of temperature than cauliflower.

 which resemble very small 

 cabbages, one or two inches

 should be broken down in 

 the fall to give the little 

 heads more room to grow. 

 They shovild be treated in all 

 respects like winter cabbage 

 or kale. We offer a care-
