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.

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. Pkt., 10c;

gus. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; %4

Italian Broccoli 
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; 14 0z., 30c; 0z., 65c; % lb., $2.00.
