BROCOLI. 
Brocoli resembles the Cauliflower ; indeed, it is hardly 
possible to distinguish the difference. Brocoli, however, 
is the most hardy, and in many sections of our country 
would not suffer in winter, but it dislikes severe summer 
heat more than cold ; and to succeed, it would be neces¬ 
sary to grow late plants, and set them out after the 
extreme heat of summer is past. Treated in this way 
we do not know why we cannot have Brocoli.

BORECOLE, or KALE. 
The Kales are 
more hardy than 
the Cabbage, and 
will endure consid¬ 
erable frost without 
injury. When cut 
frozen, they are im¬ 
mediately placed 
in cold water. 
They do not form 
heads like Cab¬ 
bage, but furnish 
abundance of pret¬ 
ty, curly leaves, 
that are very ornamental and highly prized. The Kale 
furnishes abundant food for the cottagers of Europe, and 
when well grown and properly prepared is good enough 
for any one. Culture same as for Cabbage. 
Borecole or Kale, Dwarf German Greens, 
or Sprouts, bright green, resembling Ruta 
Baga tops, and of fine flavor. The plan is to 
sow in rows, about a foot apart, in September, 
and gather in early spring, like Spinach ; per 
lb. $1.00; per oz. 10 cents,. 5

Cottagers’ Kale, the favorite English variety, 
dwarf, and curled ; per lb. $2.25 ; per oz. 25 cts., 5 
CRESS. 
Cress should be 
sown in a hot-bed 
or in a sheltered 
spot in the garden, 
quite thick, in shal¬ 
low drills, and in a 
short time it will 
be fit for cutting. 
It gives a pungent 
relish to Lettuce 
and other salad 
plants. A fresh lot 
should be sown 
every week, as it 
matures very rapidly and is useful only when young. 
In old times it was quite a fancy with the children, and 
some older people, to sow cress so as to form a name 
or design, which it will do very soon, as it is of very 
quick growth. 
Cress, Fine Curled, superior; will bear cutting 
several times ; per lb. 50 cts.; oz. 10 cents, . . 5
