ed superior to Grange's Early Cauliflower Broccoli.

SNOW'S SPRING WHITE OR CAULIFLOWER BROCCOLI. _Trans._

Naples White. Early White. Adam's Early White. Neapolitan White.
Imperial Early White. Grange's Cauliflower. Covent-Garden Market.

Plant about two feet high, robust, and a strong grower. The leaves are
large, thick-veined, flat, and narrow; and generally compress the head,
so as to render it invisible when ready for cutting, and thus protect it
from rain and the effects of frost. Head large, perfectly white.

SULPHUR OR BRIMSTONE BROCCOLI. _Trans._

Late Brimstone. Fine Late Sulphur. Edinburgh Sulphur.

Leaves with long stems; heads large, compact, somewhat conical,
sulphur-colored, sometimes tinged with purple. Hardy.

WALCHEREN BROCCOLI. _M'Int._

Comparatively new, and so closely resembling a cauliflower as to be
scarcely distinguishable from it. The leaves, however, are more curled,
and its constitution is of a hardier nature, enduring the cold, and also
withstanding heat and drought better. Much esteemed in England, where,
by successive sowings, it is brought to the table at every season of the
year.

WARD'S SUPERB. _R. Hogg._

This is a form of Knight's Protecting, but is from two to three weeks
later. It is of a dwarfish habit of growth, closely protected by the
spirally compressed leaves, with a good-sized and perfectly white head.
One of the best of the late White Broccolis.

WHITE CAPE. _Thomp._

Heads of medium size, white, and compact.

WILLCOVE. _R. Hogg._

Late Willcove.

The true Willcove is a variety perfectly distinct from every other of
its season. The heads are very large, firm, even, and fine, and of a
pure whiteness. They are fully exposed, and not protected by the leaves
as most other broccolis are. On this account, the variety is more liable
to be injured by the weather than any other late sort; and therefore, in
severe seasons, it must be regarded as deficient in hardiness.

"It derives its name from a small village near Devonport, Eng.; where it
originated, and where the Broccoli is said to be grown in great
perfection."

BRUSSELS SPROUTS.

Thousand-headed Cabbage. Brassica oleracea var.

[Illustration: Brussels Sprouts.]

In its general character, this vegetable is not unlike some of the
varieties of Kale or Borecole. Its stem is from a foot to four feet in
height, and from an inch and a half to upwards of t
