it is better known under the above name, but being really a Borecole, the time of solving and mode of cul- 
tivation may be the same. The plant produces a profusion of side sprouts, which may be increased by 
cutting the head.

COUVE TRONCHUDA or PORTUGAL CABBAGE. 
SELECTED SEED per oz. 1 0 
This most delicious vegetable should be grown in every garden. The mid-ribs of the leaves and hearts 
are the parts used, the latter being peculiarly delicate, with an agreeable favour. When required for 
an early summer crop, sow the seed in August, and, as the plants are too tender to stand the winter un- 
protected, they should be kept in a frame until spring, and planted out the same time as Caul {flowers. 
For a successional crop sow again in March on a prepared bed, and when strong enough transplant on 
deep well-manured ground, 2 feet from plant to plant.

and thin out to about 4 inches from plant to plant. By successive monthly sowing, Australian Cress 
may be constantly supplied throughout the summer. Sow in drills, and thin out. Water Cress is a 
native plant, and grown to most advantage by the edge of a running stream, and is easily raised in any 
moist place.
