BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



Sow seed in June and cultivate the 

 same as cabbage. The miniature cabbage- 

 hke 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 delicious when cooked late in 

 fall or winter. 



IMPROVED DWARF— Oz., 30c; H lb., 

 85c; 1 lb., $2.25 Pkt. 10c 



ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING BROCCOU 



A new and distinct variety of the popular branch- 

 ing type. The plant grows about 2 feet high, is 

 branching, each branch terminating in a green 

 sprout. When the green sprouts which are actually 

 a mass of flowers have developed to 2 or 3 inches 

 across — and before the flowers appear — they are 

 ready for use. This splendid vegetable seems to 

 thrive anywhere. It has the combined flavor of cauli- 

 flower 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, i/? oz., 25c; oz., 40c; 14 

 lb.. $1.20 Pkt. 10c 



BROCCOLI (Winter Cauliflower) 



Resembles cauliflower and requires the same cultivation. 

 It, however, is more hardy, and withstands greater extremes 

 of heat and cold. 



SNOW'S WHITE— Forms large creamy white heads of ex- 

 cellent quality. Oz., 50c; V* lb., $1.50 Pkt. 10c 



SWISS CHARD or SPINACH BEET 



Swiss Chard is a beet grown for its leaves. The mid-rib 

 when boiled makes delicious greens, or the leaves may be 

 boiled and served as spinach. Sown in the spring, the leaves 

 are soon ready to eat, and will continue to grow all through 

 the summer and fall. If given a little protection, it will 

 survive the winter and make excellent greens early in the 

 spring. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. 



LARGE WHITE— Grown extensively for the leaves, which 

 are used the same as spinach. Oz., 15c; ^4 lb., 35c; 1 lb., 

 Sl.OO Pkt. 5c 



GI.\NT LUCULLUS— The leaves are very large and crum- 

 pled with heavv, broad, mid-ribs, which are a good substitute 

 for asparagus. Oz., 15c; V4 lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.00 Pkt. 10c
