Vegetables Less Commonly Grown 



In planting the tubers are cut and planted the 

 same as potatoes and cultivated in the same way 

 until the crop is matured sufficiently to turn the 

 hogs on it or they may be harvested to feed during 

 winter to any stock which needs a succulent win- 

 ter food. 



BROCCOLI 



A vegetable similar to cauliflower, but of some- 

 what coarser flavor. It is hardier than cauli- 

 flower and will do well in sections where cauli- 

 flower is not successfully grown. For rapid 

 growth it should receive frequent cultivation and 

 be grown in rich soil. Sow seed very early in 

 greenhouse, hotbed or warm window and set 

 out as soon as the ground can be prepared in 

 spring, setting the plants the same distance apart 

 as cabbage and drawing the earth up about the 

 roots when hoeing. White Cap is about the best 

 variet}^ making fine, large, compact heads of a 

 creamy-white color, of good flavor.
