Brussels Sprouts 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Sow seed in June and cultivate the same as cabbage. The miniature 
cabbage-like heads are borne at the axles of the leaves. The leaves should 
be broken off in fall to give the sprouts room to grow. They are de- 
licious when cooked late in fall or winter. 
IMPROVED DWARF—PKkt., lfc; 0z., 20c; % Ib., 60c; 1 Ib., $2.00. 
ARTICHOKE 
The Globe Artichoke bears large round heads with thick fleshy scales, 
which are cooked and served like Asparagus. Sow the seed early in 
March and transplant when warm in rows four feet apart and two feet 
in the rows. Cut the tops off in winter and protect with a heavy cover- 
ing of straw or leaves. The first season will only yield a partial crop. 
The second year thin the shoots to three of the best and these will begin 
to form heads early in summer. 
Another use is to cut back the stems close to the ground early in 
summer. The young shoots which start up rapidly may be ‘tied close to- 
gether, filling in between with soil to exclude the air until they are 
blanched, and these are used in various forms of cookery or as a salad.

WINTER CAULIFLOWER 
Resembles cauliflower and requires the same cul- 
tivation. It, however, is more hardy, and with- 
stands greater extremes of heat and cold. 
Snow’s White—Forms large creamy white heads of 
excellent quality. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 75c; % Ib,, $2.25. 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING 
BROCCOLI 
A new and distinct variety of the popular branch- 
ing type. The plant grows about two feet high, 
is branching, each branch terminating in a green 
sprout. When the green sprouts which are act- 
ually a mass of flowers have developed to two or 
three inches across—and before the flowers ap- 
pear—they are ready for use. This splendid veg- 
etable seems to thrive anywhere. It has the com- 
bined flavor of cauliflower and asparagus, and is 
cooked and served the same as cauliflower. 
For an early crop sow the seed in a cold frame 
and transplant the seedlings in the open ground 
when danger of frost is past. For a later crop 
sow the seed in the open ground in May and the 
sprouts will be ready for use in August. 
Pkt., 25c., %4 oz., 55c; oz,, $1.00.
