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'! 
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 past. For late crop, start seed in the open ground 
during the early Summer months. (See engraving.) 
Price, oz. $1.00, 14 Ib. $2.50, Ib. $7.00.
