BROCCOLI. 



This is a plant bearing heads resembling those of the cauliflower, but more hardy and gives ex- 

 cellent results in cool northern localties. We do not consider it of any value in warm or dry locali- 

 ties, nor so fine in quality as the cauliflower. 



Purple Cape. — Heads nearly as large as those of the cauliflower; close, solid curl of a brown- 

 ish-purple color. Pkt. ioc. Oz. 35c. %. lb. $1.00. Lb. $3.50. 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



Brussels Sprouts are highly esteemed for boiling during the late fall and winter months. The 

 sprouts resemble miniature cabbages growing closely on the stalk of the plant, a small head, or 

 sprout, being formed at each leaf-joint. 



Perfection. — The plants grow about two feet in height and the stems are thickly set with the 

 sprouts which grow one or two inches in diameter. In the larger sprouts only the small, hard center 

 is used, the loose leaves being trimmed away. Pkt. 5c. Oz. 15c. 2 oz. 25c. % lb. 45c. Lb. $1.60. 



Paris Market. — This is a half-dwarf strain, not so tall as the preceding, but bearing a large 

 crop of handsome, round hard sprouts of the finest quality, crowded together on the stalk. Pkt. 5c. 

 Oz. 15c- 2 oz. 25c. % lb. 45c. Lb. $1.60. 



CABBAGE.-(Kopf Hohl.) 



Culture. — With a proper selection of varie- 

 ties and a succession of planting this standard 

 vegetable may be had in constant supply through- 

 out the year in all parts of our country. In Mid- 

 dle and Northern States seed may be sown in 

 hot-beds and cold frames during February and 

 March ; when the plants are well started, harden 

 them off by giving plenty of fresh air, and they 

 willbe ready to plant in garden or field in April. 

 By sowing seed of the early varieties in Septem- 

 ber and October and wintering the plants ' in 

 cold frames, stocky, hardened plants may be had 

 which can be set out the last of March. For 

 fall and winter supply we sow seed in beds out- 

 doors in June, transplanting to the field during 

 July and the early part of August. Seed should 

 be sown very thinly in shallow drills so that the 

 young plants will grow strong and stocky — as 

 slender, long-stemmed plants are of little value. 



Selected Strain Early Jersey 

 Wakefield. — This is the very best conical 

 headed sort on the market, it is extra early and 

 always sure to form fine solid heads. 



The old reliable: unfortunately the great de- 

 mand for this sort has brought upon the market 

 large quantities of coarse and inferior stock, 

 which has tended to diminish the popularity of 

 the sort; but when pure home-grown stock, 

 such as we offer, is used, it cannot fail to give 

 perfect satisfaction. Pkt. 5C. Oz. 25c. % lb. 

 60c. Lb. $2.00. 



Early Summer.— This is without except- 

 ion the best large Early Flat Head Cabbage. It 

 is about two days later than the Jersey Wakefield 

 and being over double the size makes it more 

 desirable. Gardeners will find it a very profita- 

 ble variety. Our stock isof the very best. ' Pkt. 

 5c. Oz. 20c. % lb. 50c. Lb. $1.75.
