The Improved Italian Green Sprouting Type 

 The New Vegetable Par Excellence — Succulent and 

 Tender. Combining the marrow flavor of the Cauli- 

 flower with the nutty tang of the celery 



241 This new del ' rious vegetable first came into promi- 



r . nencp as a result of the great demand for it l>\ the 

 guests of the fashionable hotels at Europe's greatest playground 

 the Riviera on the hanks or the sun-kissed Mediterranean 

 heme its name. 



To supply the demand, which is growing bv leaps and bounds 

 in this country, we imported the finest Italian strains and have 

 developed therefrom Henderson's Riviera, which is unques- 

 tionably the best for our climate. An important place is destined 

 for this succulent vegetable in the diet of the American people 

 not only for its tender, delicious, and savory flavor, but also for 

 its healthful and obesity-reducing qualities, and lastlv for its 

 extreme ease of culture. 



The plant grows about two feet high, is branching in character, 



and each branch terminates in a green sprout. When the green 



sprouts, which are actually a mass of flower buds, have developed 



to two or three inches across (and before the flowers appear) they 



idy for use. It thrives anywhere. For an earlv crop start 



the seed in a cold frame and transplant seedlings in the pen 



when danger from frost is past. For late crop, start seed 



in the open ground during the early Summer months It IS 



cooked and served like Cauliflower. Price, pkt. 30c.; 



4 pkts. $1.00; Yi ox. S2.75; l.ozrS&Ofe-- 



transportation paid.
