DESCRIPTIVE SEED LIST FOR 1918— From 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Brussels Sprouts is a variety of cab- 
bage, which, instead of producing a 
single head like cabbage, have numer- 
ous little heads produced at the leaf 
joints. It is a little hardier than cab- 
bage and by some people is considered 
to have a more delicate flavor than 
that vegetable. 
TALL FRENCH. Produces numer- 
ous compact sprouts of good quality. 
Oz., 25c; pkg., 5c. 
BORECOLE or KALE 
This Is grown quite extensively for 
greens and for gardening wherever 
the climate will permit. As a rule 
Kale will stand a temperature of 
nearly zero and can be used as win- 
ter greens wherever the thermometer 
does not fall below that point. The 
flavor is improved by frost. In the 
Northwest it gives good results if 
planted from June to August. 
BROCCOLI 
Broccoli is a variety of cauliflower 
which, though much hardier, is in- 
ferior to that vegetable. The head is 
similar to cauliflower but is coarser. 
EARLY PURPLE CAPE. Early, 
compact heads of good flavor. Oz., 
50c; pkg., 10c. 
AUTUMN WHITE CAPE. Later, 
large white heads; splendid fall va- 
riety; heads during winter; frost 
proof, delicious eating early in spring. 
Oz., 50c; pkg., 10c.
