The Cultivation of Broccoli. — For the earliest crop a sowing is requisite the beginning of March, 
and a little protection may be necessary for the seed-beds. Successional sowings should follow from 
March to the end of June, to produce a constant supply until Cauliflowers are ready. The soil 
should be well manured and in good tilth before transplanting. 
We can strongly recommend the following selections : —
