very much resembles a Cauliflower except 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 varieties. A packet 



will produce about 250 plants; an ounce, 3,000 plants; use M lb. for an acre,

 kept cut, will continue to develop smaller heads for 

 8 or 10 weeks, thereby providing a continuous supply 

 of "greens" for a long time.
