NEW VARIETIES OF VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
NEW WHITE SPROUTING BROCCOLI. 
This is a remarkable variety of late white sprouting Broccoli. The plant grows to an immense size, and produces from 
the axil of every loaf a good-sized head, while the crown is terminated by one of large size. These heads, or sprouts, amount 
sometimes to as many as fifty when a plant is well grown. During the late inclement winter this Broccoli maintained its 
character for hardiness, and gave additional proof of its value by bearing most abundant crops. Season — January to March.

Chronicle, 1858, p. 457 : — “ Out of 74 varieties grown for trial in the Horticultural Society's Gardens, the Early llnndsworth 
was by 10 days the earliest ; ” also at p. 650, “ Among Potatoes the Early llnndsworth deserves particular notice. It comes 
in some 10 days earlier than the Ash-leaf Kidney, is excellent in quality, and a very prolific, round, white kind ; six plants 
produced 6 lbs. of Potatoes ; its great recommendation, however, is its earliness 4s. per peck.
