quired. The many varieties of Borecole are all most 
delicious—more delicate than Cabbage, when boiled, the 
quality being improved after a light frost.

BROCCOLI. 
A favorite European vegetable, nearly allied to the 
Cauliflower, but more hardy and surer to head ; the seed 
should be sown in this district in the early part of May, 
and transplanted in June; farther south the sowing 
should be delayed until June or July, and the transplant¬ 
ing accordingly from August to October. In parts of the 
country where the thermometer does not fall below 2u or 
25 degrees, Broccoli may be had in perfection from Nov¬ 
ember until March. It succeeds best in a moist and 
rather cool atmosphere.

of a creamy white color, one of the most certain to 
head. Per pkt., ID cts.: oz., 50 cts.

hardier. Per pkt.. In cts.; oz., 40 cts.

heads. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 5u cts. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS.

ature heads from the sides of the stalk. These heads are 
a great delicacy, boiled in the same way as Cauliflower. 
The seed should be sown about the middle of May, in a 
seed bed, and the plants afterwards set in rows 2 feet 
or more apart, and cultivated like Cabbage. This vege¬ 
table does not require extremely high cultivation, how¬ 
ever. It is ready for use late in autumn, after the early 
frosts.
