BROCCOLI— SPROUTING

 "head" can be cut late in June or early in July and sprouts from 

 the side branches can be had until freezing weather. The best 

 sprouting broccoli for home garden, market garden and shipping.

Setting Heads of Ferry's Hollander Cabbage 



It takes two years to produce cabbage seed. The first season heads are grown. They are then 

 lifted, graded for purity to type, stored over winter and reset in spring to produce seed. 



CABBAGE 



Serious attention is given the matter of earliness in our cabbage seed breeding. Two complete 

 trials are made of our cabbage stocks at the Oakview Experimental Gardens each year. The first or 

 spring trial, the young plants being set in the field early in May. In the second or late trial the plants 

 being set in the field early in July. 30 to 35 days are required from the time seed is sown until the young 

 plants are ready for the field. The early varieties in the spring trial are always fully ready for market 

 early in July. For the sake of uniformity we have indicated the average number of days required to 

 produce heads fuUy fit for market from the date the young plants are set in the field early in May. 

 Very often the number of days required in the later trial, providing there is ample moisture, is less 

 than in the early trial.
