Brussels Sprouts 



108 Danish Prize (125 days) 



The most delicately flavored vegetable of the entire cab- 

 bage family. Plants grow medium tall and produce an 

 abundance of large, solid, dark green, tightly folded 

 "sprouts" or little cabbage-like heads along the stem. 

 Grow in moderately rich soil to avoid an excess 

 of leaves. Sow seed in April or May in the open 

 ground. Transplant in rows 3 ft. apart and 

 18 in. apart in the row. When the "sprouts" 

 begin to form at the base of the stalk, 

 break off the lower leaves to give them 

 more room for growth. A packet of seed 

 produces about 300 plants; one ounce, 

 3,000 plants; 4 to 6 ounces to plant 

 an acre. Pkt. 100; oz. 250; 



Vi lb. 7501 Vz lb. $1.15; lb. $2.00. 



Artichoke 



2 Green Globe 



Grown extensively for its edible, 

 deep green, globe-shaped buds or 

 flower heads whose fleshy bud scales, 

 when cooked, are regarded as a 

 choice delicacy. Sow seed early in- 

 doors, setting the plants outdoors 

 after danger of frost is past, 2 ft. 

 apart, in rows 4 ft. apart. Plants are 

 hardy, but where winters are severe, 

 protect %vith a heavy mulch to keep 

 crowns from freezing. Will produce 

 a crop of buds the second season and 

 yield heaviest during the first two 

 or three years. A packet vrill pro- 

 duce 25 plants; an ounce about 500. 

 Pkt. 100; Vi oz. 250; oz. 450; 

 1/4 lb. $1.30; 1/2 lb. $2.40; lb. $4.35. 



Broccoli 



Culture: Same as for cabbage. Italian or Sprouting Broccoli very much resembles cauliflower ex- 

 cept in color. One large head is borne on the main stalk and, when cut, a succession of smaller heads 

 appear, which if kept cut will be replaced by others for 2 months or more. St. Valentine is a white- 

 headed variety, similar to cauliflower and entirely different from the green Italian or Sprouting varie- 

 ties. A packet will produce about 250 plants; an ounce. 3,000 plants; use K lb. for an acre. 



105 Calabrese (90 days) ^ 106 Propageno (80 days) <3( 



Large green heads; Italian Sprouting 



Most delicious "green" vegetable which has be- 

 come extremely popular because of its delicate 

 flavor. Forms large, rich green sprouting heads, 

 which, if kept cut. will continue to develop smaller 

 heads for 8 or 10 weeks, thereby providing a con- 

 tinuous supply of "greens" for a long time. 



Pkt. 100; 1/2 oz 250; oz. 400; V4 lb. $1.15; 

 1/2 lb. $2.05; lb. $3.75. 



103 St. Valentine (ISOdays) 



Also known as Winter Cauliflower 



White-heading type of broccoli grown in the 

 northwest for shipment to the eastern markets. 

 It looks somewhat like cauliflower, but is more 

 hardy and requires much more time to mature. 

 Very productive; the large, solid white heads are 

 of the choicest quality. Needs a warm climate 

 and long growing season. Pkt. 100; V2 oz- 25^; 

 oz. 45ii; 1/4 lb. $1.30; I/2 lb. $2.40; lb. $4.35. 



Earliest and largest; Italian Sprouting 



An improved early strain of green sprout- 

 ing broccoli having a large main head 

 made up of an abundance of tender 

 sprouts, and which, after being cut, will 

 produce for a long time many smaller 

 heads. Flavor is delicate and delicious. 

 Make a generous planting so as to have 

 a good supply of this wonderful vegetable 

 all summer and fall. Propageno is earlier 

 than Calabrese, produces larger heads, 

 and is more productive. Vigorous, stocky 

 plants, tall and erect. Thrives in sections 

 where cauliflower does not.
