BROCCOLI. 
French— Chou Brocoli. 
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 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.
