Brussels Sprouts 



108 Danish Prize 



The most delicately flavored vege- 

 table of the entire Cabbage family. 

 Plants grow medium tall and pro- 

 duce 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 

 produces about 300 plants; one 

 ounce, 3,000 plants; 4 to 6 ounces 

 to plant an acre. Ready in 1 25 days.

Calabrese Sprouting Broccoli 



B 



rocco 



li 



4 WM. HENRY MAULE PHILADELPHIA 



Culture: Same as for Cabbage. Italian or Sprouting,] 

 Broccoli very much resembles a Cauliflower except in'i 

 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 I 

 to Cauliflower and entirely different from the green ' 

 Italian or Sprouting varieties. A packet will produce j 

 about 250 plants; an ounce, 3,000 plants; use 4 to 6,j 

 ounces for an acre. 



105 Calabrese (90 days) <E( 



Large Green Sprouting Heads; Italian 



Most delicious "green" vegetable which has become] 

 extremely popular because of its delicate flavor. J 

 Forms large, rich green sprouting heads, which, if \ 

 kept cut, will continue to develop smaller heads for ( 

 8 or 10 weeks, thereby providing a continuous supply i 

 of "greens" for a long time. \ 



Pkt. 10c; 1/2 oz. 20c; oz. 35c; Vi lb. $1.00; j 

 1/2 lb. $1.65; lb. $3.00. 



106 Propageno (80 days) ^ 



Earliest and Largest; Italian Sprouting ^ 



An improved new early strain of green sprouting ■ 

 Broccoli having a large, main head made up of an 

 abundance of tender sprouts, and which after being 3 

 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.

 V2 lb. $2.20; lb. $4.00.
