 lateral shoots that are of the same fine 

 quality as the original center head. The

 broccoli over a long season should sow

241 RIVIERA 



The Improved Italian Type 

 — A Delicious Vegetable 



(See Color Plate, Page 12.) 



Famed for its tender, delicious and 

 savory flavor, also for its healthful and 

 obesity-reducing qualities, and lastly 

 for its extreme ease of culture. 



The plant grows about two feet high, 

 is branching in character, and each 

 branch terminates in a green sprout. 

 When the green sprouts, which are 

 actually a mass of flower buds, have 

 developed to two or three inches across 

 (and before the flowers appear), they 

 are ready for use. 



It thrives anywhere. For an early 

 crop, start the seed in a cold frame and 

 transplant seedlings in the open ground 

 after frost. 



For late crop, start seed in the open 

 ground during the early Summer 

 months. It is cooked and served like 

 Cauliflower. Ready in 75 days.

EXTRA EARLY and EARLY VARIETIES 



254 CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD 



The pointed-head Cabbages are of ex- 

 cellent quality, quite free from the 

 coarse rankness so commonly associated 

 with Cabbage. Henderson's Charleston 

 Wakefield is larger, but fully equal in 

 quality to any of its class and admirably 

 suited to succeed the very early sorts. 



Ready 68 days from the setting out of 

 the plants. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c. 



269 GOLDEN ACRE 



Golden Acre Cabbage is an early round- 

 headed variety resembling Early Market 

 in shape and type, but is smaller. It will 

 remain on the field for a long time without 

 bursting. Season 64 days. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 75c. 



259 EARLYKROP 



One of the earliest round-headed Cab- 

 bages on the market. It finishes with 

 the Earliest Wakefield type; but unlike 

 that type, it remains in perfect condition 

 on the field for a long time without 

 bursting or bolting to seed. This is a 

 very desirable quality for the home 

 gardener who wants his crop to extend 

 over a long period of time. Season 64 days. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 75c. 



262 EARLY MARKET 



The plant is small, with short stem, and 

 few outer leaves. These have the ex- 

 cellent habit of curving inward, thus 

 providing protection to the head. 



For home use its remarkably fine 

 quality and tenderness will be greatly 

 appreciated. There is an entire absence 

 of coarse veins and leaves, and it has 

 the quality peculiar to some of the best 

 sorts of hardening the head before it 

 has attained its full size. Season 64 days. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 75c. 



260 EARLY JERSEY 

 WAKEFIELD 



The Best First-Early, Pointed- 

 Head Cabbage 



The heads are pyramidal in shape, hav- 

 ing a blunted or rounded peak. It is 

 beyond question the best variety for 

 spring and early summer in the private 

 garden. Its first appearance brings a 

 welcome change from the hard-headed 

 winter sorts, for Early Jersey Wakefield 

 is attractive in appearance and essentially 

 good' in quality. Season 62 days from 

 plant setting. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c. 



273 PREMIER 



{See Color Plate, Page ll) 



It is the earliest of all the round-headed 

 varieties, fully 3 to 4 days earlier than 

 Earlykrop. The head is a trifle smaller, 

 the plant is more compact; it can there- 

 fore be planted closer than other sorts, 

 so that quality cabbage can be grown 

 in even the smallest garden. The heads 

 are very firm, and the quality is de- 

 licious, tender and succulent. Season 60 

 days. 



Price, pkt., 25c; oz., $1.00. 



"Yellows" Resistant 



Varieties 



263 MARION MARKET 



(Second Early) 



One of the first resistant strains to be 

 developed. Marion Market has proven 

 very profitable for many growers because 

 of its dependability and heavy yields, even 

 on yellows infected soil. The plants and 

 heads are larger than Copenhagen Mar- 

 ket. Season 75 days. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 80c. 



277 WISCONSIN HOLLANDER 



No. 8 (Late) 



This is a "yellows" resistant strain of the 

 Danish Ballhead type. An excellent late 

 variety for storage and shipping. The 

 plants are large and very hardy. The 

 heads are large, practically round and solid 

 j^W Season 105 days. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 85c.
