Henderson's Riviera Broccoli 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1928 



The Improved Italian Green Sprouting Type, The Vegetable Par Excellence, 

 — Succulent and Tender. Combining the Marrow Flavor of Cauli- 

 flower with the Delectable Succulence of Asparagus 



04I This new and delicious vegetable 

 first came into prominence as a 

 result of the eager demand for it by the 

 guests of the fashionable hotels at 

 Europe's greatest playground, the 

 "Riviera," on the banks of the sun- 

 kissed Mediterranean, hence its name. 



To supply this demand, which is 

 growing by leaps and bounds in this 

 country, we have imported the finest 

 Italian strains and have developed 

 there from 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 and obesity-reduc- 

 ing qualities, and lastly 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 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 passed. 



For late crop, start seed in the open 



ground ^Wring the early Summer 



monthsT' It is cooked and served like 

 J>Huiflower. (See illustration.) Price, 

 "pkt. 25c.: 5 pkts. $1.00; y 2 oz. $2.25 



1 oz. $4.00; transportation paid. 



Dietary experts attribute remarkable fat-reducing qualities to Broccoli, which is one of the outstanding reasons for its 



rapid rise to favor.
