BROCCOLI 



Chantenay Carrot 



235. Broccoli Italian Green 

 Sprouting or Early Green Cal- 

 abrese. Specialty— ("Best in Gar- 

 den" Variety, see page 5). Rapid Grow- 

 ing. Produces a large head at center 

 of plant in about ninety days from 

 date of planting. Resembles cauli- 

 flower only in shape or formation as 

 the color is dull bluish green. After 

 the center head is removed, the plant 

 produces many branches, each bearing 

 smaller terminals and lateral heads 

 which are as fully desirable as the 

 first heads produced. If these heads are gathered 

 as soon as they become large enough for use, the 

 plant will continue to produce for a period of 

 from eight to ten weeks. If served in the same 

 way as asparagus makes a very tasty dish fully 

 equal to cauliflower. Sow in the Spring, Summer 

 or Fall and cultivate same as cauliflower. Pkt. 

 10 cts.; oz. 75 cts.; % lb. $2.60; lb. $10.00, post-
