A plant much resembling the Cauliflower, and 
like it derived from the wild Cabbage. Broccoli re¬ 
quires a longer season to develop than Cauliflower. 
It has more numerous and stiffer leaves, and the 
heads are smaller. The seed is best sown in Mid¬ 
summer and Autumn, and the plants carried over 
the Winter for planting out in Spring.

United States in the last few years, but has been

should be sown very early in the Spring and marketed 
in July and August. This vegetable bears a suc¬ 
cession of deep green heads, about 5 inches long.
