The Cultivation of Broccoli. — Vox 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 up to 
June. Prick out into a prepared bed when strong 
enough, and when thoroughly established in summer 
transplant to permanent quarters, the earliest kinds 
first, to produce a constant supply of heads, according 
to the variety, until Cauliflowers are ready in July the 
following season. The soil should be deeply dug, 
well manured, and in good tilth and firm before 
transplanting.
