BROCCOLI. 
(Bras^ica oleracea bolnjtis Asparwjoidts.) Ckuciker.®. 
CULTURE • — Early sowings may be made in February, under glass, followed by sowings in the open ground, middle of April and second week 
in May, for successional crops. When the plants are large enough, prick out into a bed ti inches apart, and after they have acquired strength, 
transplant to a piece of ground that has been previously well dug and manured, in rows ft. apart and 2 ft. distant from each other. As the plants 
advance in growth draw the soil around the stems, and give liquid manure occasionally, we strongly recommend a sprinkling of nitrate of soda, and 
which will be found to work wonders. It is advisable to cut the heads ns soon as they attain medium siie.
