CHOU DE BURGHLEY 
This plant belongs to the Brassicas, and is part 
cabbage and part Brocoli, and is doubtless the result 
of a cross, but all the same is really a very excellent 
vegetable for autumn and winter supplies. This 
was raised by the late Mr Gilbert, a good grower 
of vegetables, and is well worth room in all gardens. 
As regards its quality few persons could find a more 
delicious vegetable, as the small hearts or Brocoli portion 
of the plant is really first rate, and if used as a cabbage 
it is excellent. It needs similar culture to the early 
Brocoli. Sown in March, and planted out in May, 2 
feet apart, in good land deeply dug and manured it does 
well. It is very hardy, and grows freely in the northern 
or exposed portions of the country. I have had two 
lots of plants, an early and later one ; and grown thus 
there is a long supply.
