BROCCOLI-SPROUTING ^,^, 



*DeCICCO 60 



An extremely early strain producing large heads ready for market ten days to two 

 weeks ahead of Early Green Sprouting. Also furnishes a high percentage of side 

 shoots or sprouts excellent for bunching or for freezing. Plants medium tall, light 

 green in color, and very productive. Our stock of this strain has been carefully 

 selected for uniformity and can be highly recommended as the earliest maturing 

 strain of Broccoli obtainable. 



^ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING, EARLY STRAIN 70 



Vigorous early type forming large compact central heads and very few laterals. 

 First heads ready for market in about 70 days from planting under favorable 

 conditions when the seed is planted in the open. Transplanting usually delays 

 maturity about one week. 



*GREEN SPROUTING, MEDIUM STRAIN 95 



The strain we have furnished to Pacific Coast and Southern growers for many 

 years. About three weeks later than Early Strain and too late for most Northern 

 conditions. Forms splendid central heads and a prolific crop of laterals. The 

 variety to use for freezing or for other purposes where shoots are wanted. 



GREEN SPROUTING, LATE STRAIN 150 



Very late variety producing central heads of excellent quality but practically no 

 side shoots. Planted in California in fall for early spring cutting and has the same 

 possibilities along the South Atlantic Coast. Too late to be useful in northern states. 



RAPA (Italian Turnip) 60

 and tender flower shoots which are desirable for use as greens. Shoots to seed rapidly 

 and plants should be cut before they come into flower. Plants 12 to 15 inches high.
