ARTICHOKE 



GREEN GLOBE. 



The most popular American variety of this delicacy. The flower 

 bud is the portion of the plant used for food and is produced the 

 second year after sowing the seed. The plants are tender and 

 should be protected by a heavy mulch in sections having severe 

 winters.

 States Department of Agriculture. It is without doubt the best

BROCCOLI 



HENDERSON'S RIVIERA. 



An improved strain of the well known Italian Green Sprouting or 

 Calabrese type. The plant is tall and branching. A large bluish- 

 green flower bud head develops in the center. After this is re- 

 moved, smaller heads are produced on the side branches. If the 

 heads are kept cut the plants will continue to produce other heads 



for many weeks.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND. 



This is a special selection of the Long Island Improved type. The 

 seed is produced on Long Island and is superior to ordinary strains 

 in use today. The plant is dwarf, 20 to 24 inches tall. The sprouts 

 or cabbage-like balls are about 1 V2 inches in diameter, very solid, 

 and are so closely set that the stem is completely covered.
