Broccoli 



103 Early Angiers 



Known as Winter Cauliflower 

 (150 days) 



This Broccoli is the old heading type which can 

 hardly be distinguished from Cauliflower though 

 it requires considerably longer time to come 

 to maturity. It is more hardy than Cauli- 

 flower, and is grown in the Northwest for ship- 

 ping to our eastern markets. It is the most 

 popular home and market variety and is planted 

 on the West Coast during July and August so 

 that the crop will come in from November 

 until May when there is no cauliflower avail- 

 able in the eastern markets. Very productive 

 and of choice quality. In sections where 

 cauliflower does well, we advise planting 

 cauliflower onlv. Pkt. 15c; >/ 2 oz. 30c; oz. 50c; 

 Vi lb. $1.50; i/ 2 lb. $2.75; lb. $5.00. 



105 Calabrese 



105 Calabrese $ 



Italian Green Heading 

 or Sprouting 



(90 days) This vegetable has become extreme- 

 ly popular within recent years. The variety 

 which we offer forms a good size, rich green 

 head during June or July, and after it is cut side- 

 branches will develop, each carrying smaller 

 size heads of choice quality. This type has 

 proven decidedly more popular than the open 

 spreading varieties which are not nearly so 

 tender nor as tasty as our special strain of 

 Calabrese. It is a splendid vegetable for the 

 home garden, market growing, and for ship- 

 ping. Even better flavored than cauliflower. 

 One packet produces 250 plants; 3000 plants to 

 the ounce. Pkt. 15c; Vi oz. 25c; oz. 45c; 

 Vi lb. $1 .35 ; Vi lb. $2.45 ; lb. $4.50; 2 lbs. $8.35 ;

Brussels Sprouts 



Known as Miniature Cabbage 



108 Danish Prize 



Solid Miniature Cabbages, Closely Set 

 Along the Tall Stem (125 days) 



Brussels Sprouts is a delicious vegetable belonging 

 tc the cabbage family but it excels cabbage in mild- 

 ness and sweetness. It should be more largely grown 

 in the home gardens as it supplies the table with 

 fresh green sprouts in the late fall and winter. The 

 plants are medium-tall, producing an abundance of 

 large yet solid dark green, tightly folded sprouts of 

 choicest quality. Grow it in moderately rioh soil to 

 avoid an excess of leaves. Sow the seed in April or 

 May in the open ground. Transplant in rows 3 ft. 

 apart and 18 in. in the row. Break off the leaves 

 along the stem to aid the formation of the small heads. 

 A packet gives about 300 plants and an ounce is 

 sufficient for 3000 plants. Brussels Sprouts is mostly 

 grown for winter use, and as the plants are quite 

 hardy they are allowed to remain in the garden until 

 after frost. In fact, the flavor of the young sprouts is 

 greatly improved after they have been frosted.
