RIVIERA, HENDERSON'S IMPROVED ITAL- 

 IAN OR CALABRESE GREEN SPROUTING 

 TYPE To supply the greatly increased demand for 

 high quality Green Sprouting Broccoli, we imported | 

 the finest Italian strains and have developed therefrom 

 Henderson's Riviera, which is unquestionably 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 qualities, and ease_of 

 culture. 



The plant grows about two feet high, is branching i 

 in character, and each branch terminates in a green jj 

 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 are 

 ready for use. It thrives anywhere. For an early 

 crop start the seed in a cold frame and transplant 

 seedlings in the open ground when danger from frost 

 is past. For late crop, start seed in the open ground ' 

 during the early Summer months. (See engraving.) 

 Price, oz. $1.00, \i lb. $2.50, lb. $7.00.
