Cultivation. — This excellent vegetable is of the greatest value during 
the Winter and early Spring, when Cauliflowers are not obtainable and 
vegetables generally are soaroe. They like a good rioh firm soil, whioh has 
during the previous Autumn been thoroughly trenched and liberally 
manured. If possible, ohoose a piece of land on whioh Celery has been grown 
The 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 inohes apart and one inoh deep. When the plants 
are large enough to handle, lose no time in prioking them out, os they 
quiokly suffer if allowed to remain too long in the seed bed, becoming 
drawn and weak. The final plantings should be oommenoed in May, and 
followed on as opportunity ooeurs until the end of July, and as land beoomes 
available. Choose the strongest plants first, as by this means a muoh better 
suooession will be obtained. 
The most important point in planting out Broocoli is to be quite sure 
that the ground is very firm ; the harder it is the better it will be for the 
plants, as thoy will thereby be able to withstand the Winter, therefore 
if the land was trenohed and manured during the past Winter, do not 
have It dug again just previous to planting out. Make the rows about 
2J 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 practioe to heel over the plant* with 
their heads to the north, as soon as they are turning in, making the soil 
quite firm round the stem quite up to the neok, thus leaving only the head 
shove the ground. In addition, a sprinkling of hay or braoken over each 
head will prevent any harm ooming to them, and a very high percentage 
will be found to withstand the severest weather. 
In the first division Michaelmas White and Sell-proteoting Autumn will 
be found most useful, followed by Daniels’ Queen of Spring and New Tear. 
For 1st* orops Daniels’ Norfolk Giant and Daniels’ King an ^invaluable.
