Italian Broccoli 



BROCCOLI 



CuLTTiRE. Sow seed in open ground and get 

 plants in field in July or August. After the center 

 head is cut, it will produce side-shoots with a 

 smaller head. One of the best on account of its suc- 

 culent asparagus flavor. 



Greens. Used largely in the Delaware, 

 Maryland, and Virginia Peninsula for 

 northern shipment. Makes fine greens. 

 Sow about August 1 for fall cutting. Pkt. 

 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; I4lh. 35 cts.; lb. S1.25. 



Italian Calabrese Green Sprouting. Pro- 

 duces small heads on order of cauliflower, 

 and is the latest and newest kind yet 

 introduced. See illustration. Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 oz. 50 cts.; i^lb. $1.25; lb. S4. 



Large Early White. The heads resemble 

 somewhat a coarse cauliflower, and the 

 culture is the same as for that vegetable. 

 Broccoli is well adapted only to those 

 sections where the season is long, cool, and 

 rather moist. One of the most valuable 

 features is that it withstands greater ex- 

 tremes of temperature than cauliflower. 

 Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts. 



BORECOLE 



This is often called Broccoli by market 

 gardeners, but belongs to the Kale family. 

 Very spreading in habit and beautifully 

 curled. Sow seed in Ma.y, transplant in July 

 in the open field, and treat same as Savoy 

 Cabbage. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; J^lb. 50 

 cts.; lb. $1.50. (See page 31 for Kale or 

 Borecole.) 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



Sow 1 ounce o/ seed lo 100 yards of row 



Brussels Sprouts are used in the fall and 

 early winter and by some considered more 

 tender and delicious than any cabbage. The 

 plant resembles the cabbage, the edible part 

 being the numerous very small heads or 

 sprouts 1 to 2 inches in diameter formed on 

 the stalk at each leaf-joint. The culture is 

 the same in all essentials as for cabbage, 

 except the leaves should be broken down in 

 the fall to give the little heads more room to 

 grow. 



Paris Half -Dwarf. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; 

 J^lb. 75 cts.; lb. S2..50. 



CABBAGE 



Sow 1 ounce of seed to 100 feet of row, for plants 



Culture. Cabbage will thrive on any good 

 corn-land, though the stronger the soil the better 

 they will develop. Plow deeply and manure ver.v 

 liberally, as Cabbage is a strong feeder, and w-ill 

 repay the care bestowed on it. The early sorts bear 

 planting from 18 inches to .3 feet apart in the rows, 

 with the rows from 2 to 2 ]-i feet apart, the distance 

 van,nng with the size. For early use, sow in a hot- 

 bed in February or ^larch. In April the plants 

 may be set out in the rows. For late crop, sow in 

 May or June, and transplant as soon as the plants 

 are ^ to 6 inches high. The ground should be thor- 

 oughly cultivated every week until the plants meet 

 in the rows.
