They are fully exposed, and not protected by the leaves as most other broccolis are. |
The requirements of cultivation for the broccolis are practically the same as those for cauliflowers. |
The broccolis are so similar to the cauliflowers that some account of them may be expected in a treatise on the latter vegetable. |
Mentioned in Bon Jardinier, in 1859, as one of the three principal broccolis, with which it is generally and properly classed. |
In Northern Florida, where cauliflowers are liable to be killed during winter, broccolis will stand out without any protection. |
These, and other considerations, make it seem doubtful that our broccolis have originated from our cauliflowers. |
