BROCCOLI. 
7 tic Cultivation Of Broccoli —For the earliest crop a sowing is requisite the beginning of March, and a little protection may be necessary for the seed-beds. 
Successional sowings should follow from March to June. Prick out into a prepared bed when strong enough, and when thoroughly established in summer transplant 
n> permanent quarters, the earliest kinds first, to produce a constant supply of heads, according to the variety, until Cauliflowers are ready in July the following season. 
The soil should be well manured, and in good tilth and firm before transplanting. {See Carters’ Practical Gardener, post free Jr. 3a?.) 
FOR CUTTING FROIVI SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER.

variety we know of. Its fine heads will come into use after the Early 
Cauliflower and before the winter Broccoli is ready—will succeed where 
late Cauliflower fails.
