Broccoli— Italian Green Sprouting 



BROCCOLI 



ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING Entirely different from the 

 white heading sorts. The plant is vigorous, bears a succes- 

 sion of edible sprouting heads which if kept cut will 

 be replaced by others for 8 or 10 weeks. The sprouts, 

 about 5 inches long, terminate in a small head of deep 

 green buds. Immensely popular; regarded by many as 

 superior in flavor to cauliflower. Culture is the same as 

 that for cabbage. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.20; 1/4 lb. $3.00. 



CAULIFLOWER TYPE 



This is similar to cauhflower in color, character of foliage, 

 form and size of heads. It requires a longer growing season and 

 rarely matures in the northern states. 



FEBRUARY A compact plant with abundant white ribbed 

 leaves. It produces very solid, long standing white heads 

 and comes into use during February. 

 Pkt. 10c; 1/4 oz. 75c; oz. $2.00; 1/4 lb. $6.50. 



ST. VALENTINE The plants are large with dark green waved 

 leaves. The heads are large, solid, snow white and well 

 protected. This variety heads during March and is a popu- 

 lar home garden and shipping broccoli. 

 Pkt. 10c; 1/4 oz. 75c; oz. $2.00; 1/4 lb. $6.50. 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



A unique member of the cabbage family which is highly 

 prized for the small shoots that are like miniature cabbages 

 about an inch in diameter and are clustered aU around the 

 stem. They are successfully grown wherever conditions are 

 favorable for late cabbage and require the same method of 

 culture. They mature best in the autumn after the weather 

 becomes cool. 



HALF DWARF (Our own selected strain) An improved variety 

 which grows 2 to 3 feet tall and produces a heavy crop 

 of handsome, round, hard sprouts. A very popular variety 

 in California. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.30; 1/4 lb. $4.00. 



LONG ISLAND IMPROVED A dwarf variety growing from 

 18 to 24 inches high. It is early and well adapted to all 

 sections of the country but particularly for those where 

 the growing season is short. The sprouts are of medium 

 size, rich deep green, firm and of the finest quahty and 

 flavor. In our trials it has proven the most prolific and 

 surest yielder of all. The stock we offer is of exceptionally 

 choice quality. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 1/4 lb. $1.00. 



CABBAGE 



For early cabbage in the North, plants may be started indoors or under glass as early as March 1st. They should be spaced 

 3 inches apart each way when pricked out into boxes and should be gradually hardened off by exposure to cooler outdoor conditions. 

 They may be transplanted in the open as soon as the ground can be properly prepared. In sections of the country where winters 

 aie not severe, seed may be planted as late as September. Such plantings will produce heads during the winter and early spring. 

 One of our specialties. No better seed is obtainable than our pure bred strains.
