Cultivation. — -This excellent vegetable is of the greatest value during 
the Winter and early Spring, when Cauliflowers are not obtainable and 
vegetables generally are scarce. They like e good rich firm soil, which has 
during tho previous Autumn been thoroughly trenched and liberally 
manured. If possible, choose a piece of land on which Celery has been grown 
Tho earliest sowing of seed should be made at the latter end of March, and 
the principal sowings during April, whilst May will be soon enough for the 
late varieties. Sow the seed either in a warm sheltered border or in a frame, 
in drills eight or nine inches apart and one inch deep. When the plants 
are large enough to handle, lose no time in pricking them out, as they 
quickly suffer if allowed to remain too long in the seod bed, becoming 
drawn and weak. Tho final plantings should be commenced in May, anil 
followed on as opportunity occurs until the end of July, and as land becomes 
available. Choose the strongest plants first, as by this means a much better 
succession will be obtained. 
Tho most important point in planting out Broccoli is to be quite sure 
that the ground is very firm ; the harder it is the better it will be for the 
plants, as they will thereby be able to withstand the Winter, therefore 
if the land was trenohed and manured during the past Winter, do not 
havo it dug again just previous to planting out. Make the rows about 
2£ feet apart and place the plants about two feet apart in the rows. 
Water the plants thoroughly after planting and keep the weeds down. 
In severe Winters it is generally the practice to heel over the plants with 
their heads to the north, as soon as they are turning in, making tho soil 
quite firm round the stem quite up to the neck, thus leaving only the head 
above the ground. In addition, a sprinkling of hay or bracken over each 
head will prevent any harm coming to them, and a very high percentage 
will bo found to withstand the severest weather. 
In the first division Michaelmas White and Sell-protecting Autumn will 
be found most useful; followed by Daniels’ Queen of Spring and New Year. 
For late crops Daniels’ Norfolk Giant and Daniels’ King are invaluable.
