For the Brassica family, including cabbages, cauliflowers, turnips, etc., there is no soil so suitable as freshly turned sod, provided the surface is well fined by the harrow; it is well to have as stout a crop of clover or grass, growing on this sod, when turned under, as possible, and I incline to the belief that it would be a judicious investment to start a thick growth of these by the application of guano to the surface sufficiently long before turning the sod to get an extra growth of the clover or grass.
When the land planted is too wet, or the manure in the hill is too strong, this dreaded disease is liable to be found on any soil; but it is most likely to manifest itself on soils that have been previously cropped with cabbage, turnip, or some other member of the Brassica family.

Of borecole we have two varieties; the purple, and green. The former is in much esteem amongst the Germans, who make a number of excellent dishes from it in the winter. The culture is the same as for winter cabbage of other kinds. BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Brassica Rapa.
The tankard is long-rooted and stands more out of the ground, and is objected to as being more liable to the attack of early frosts. For a further account of the culture &c. see Dickson's Modern Husbandry, vol. ii. p. 639.
