GREENS . are finding a qplace of in- 

 creasing importance on the large 

 markets. Of these, the Italian Green- 

 Sprouting Broccoli has. been' in special 

 favor and has brought higrr* prices. In 

 its effort to fill this demand the trade has 

 accepted almost anything under the name 

 of Broccoli from Seven-Top Turnip up. 

 Of the true Broccoli there are a number 

 of different varieties running from light 

 green to deep purple. Christmas Cala- 

 brese, as offered herewith, is one of the 

 most reliable and valuable sorts. • A rea- 

 sonably large, solid head is formed and 

 after the head is cut, sturdy sprouts 

 develop at the axes of the leaves. Each 

 sprout terminates in a separate head. 

 These are cut in lengths about 10 to 12 

 inches and are tied in bunches of two or 

 three.

 1/4 lb. $6.00, lb. $24.00. 



Moss Curled Parsley (Stokes) 

 has a finely cut leaf. 



We look on Broccoli as the most important American adoption since the Honey Dew melon. Cultivated in Italy for 

 2000 years, its commercial introduction here is quite recent. To Frederick Kast, chief steward of the Waldorf Astoria, 

 apparently goes the credit. New Yorkers consider it among the finest of delicacies. It is available at all their best hotels 

 and restaurants — at from 50c to $1.00 per serving!
