At prices quoted above we deliver these seeds at the Express 
or Freigrht ofBce here and make no charf^e for hags. 
BROCCOLI. 
Culture. — Nearly allied to the C.iuliflowcr, but more hardy. Tht seed 
should be sown in this district the early part of May, and transplanted in 
Jxine: further south the sowing should be delayed until June or July, and 
the transplanting accordingly from August to October. In parts of the 
country where the thermometer docs not fall below 20 to 25 degrees. 
Broccoli may be had in perfection from November until March. It suc- 
ceeds best in a moist and rather cool atmosphere. 
White Cape. — Heads medium size, close and compact and of a creamy 
white color; flavor most excellent. Pkt. 10c. , oz. 35c., % lb. .$1.23. 
Purple Cape. — Considered by many the best for the north, producing 
fine heads of a purplish browi color. Pkt. lOc, oz. 33c., V4 Ih. $1.23. 
BORCECOLE. 
SEE KALE. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 
Culture.— Sow in May in the same manner as Cauliflower, and trans- 
plant in Jnly one foot apart in the rows. In j^ardcns both larjre am! 
small, Brussels Sprouts are without exception the ver^v best winter vege- 
table that can be growu. Not the least valuabk ponit connected with 
the Brussels Sprouts is that they are as hardy as the common curled 
Greens. The common cabbage is hardy enough in a yonnn state, but 
when full grown and hearted, frost soon destroys the largest heads, 
vvhich rot and fall to pieces. Not so the Brussels Sprouts. Being small 
and hard, they are not in the least affected by frosts. The real sprout 
is not much larger than a marble, and as firm and hard almost as the 
stock itself. These are the sorts which cooks prefer; they strip off their 
outer covering, cook them whole, and serve them up artistically in that 
fashion. When cooked through and no more, such sprouts melt in the 
mouth like the tendcrest Cauliflower and are equally good.
