Cliou DeBurghley.—This remarkable new vegetable was awarded a first-class certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society of Knglaud, ami it is safe to say no other vegetable was ever introduced with 80 many excellent testimonials, from so many eminent horticulturists and others well qualified to judge what a good vegetable should be. Evidently it is the result of a hybridization between a Cabbage and Broccoli, and, properly described, may be called a Cabbage Broccoli of a superior and distinct type. The heads are well formed, ofmedium size, solid, and of a decidedly lighter color than most , and contain a diminutive Broccoli as a sort of kernel in each. Every one who has had the opiiortunity of tasting it cooked prononncesitof a distinct, delicate, and delicious flavor. In England it has withstood .several severe winters, and is considered a valuable acquisition to thelist of winter vegetables.
