Swiss Chard 
OR SPINACH BEET 
The leaves of Swiss Chard are used for greens the 
same as Spinach or Beet tops. Seed sown early in 
the Spring will produce plants quickly, from which 
the light-colored, thick mid-ribs of the leaves may 
be cut down to the ground. New growth will quickly 
succeed it which may in turn be gathered. If the 
plants are allowed to grow on, an abundance of large, 
curly leaves may be obtained, which make excellent 
greens. No garden is complete without Swiss Chard. 
GIANT LUCULLUS —The best garden variety, pro¬ 
duces large tender stalks with early leaves. May start 
cutting in 35 to 40 days. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 15c); (Vi lb. 
35c); (1 lb. $1.00); postpaid.

tifully fringed. A very hardy variety,yielding a tre¬ 
mendous crop of fine leaves. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 15c); 
(Vi lb. 45c); (1 lb. $1.25); postpaid. Dwarf, same price. 
Broccoli 
B ROC U LI 
One ounce will sow a bed 40 square feet a'nd pro¬ 
duces about 2000 plants. 
Broccoli is very late cauliflower. It is an important 
market crop, but is not so well known by home gar¬ 
deners. The culture is easy and the heads mature at 
a time when garden vegetables are scare, therefore it 
should command much more attention from the mar¬ 
ket and home gardener. 
CULTURE —Seed is sown in shaded beds in July so 
that well matured plants may be had for transplant¬ 
ing during September. The plants require abundant 
irrigation and make most of their growth during the 
late fall, stand still during the coldest weather and 
head in the spring, earlier or later, according to va¬ 
riety. It is possible to secure a succession of fine 
white heads from January to April by using different 
varieties, all set in the field at the same time. 
GREEN SPROUTING BROCCOLI— New member ot 
Broccoli family and one of the best. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 
65c); (Vi lb. $2.00); (1 lb. $6.50); postpaid. 
ST. VALENTINE —Head very compact, of creamy 
white. (Pkt. 5c); (Vi oz. 75c); (oz. $1.50); (Vi lb. 
$4.00); (1 lb. $15.00); postpaid. 
Brussels Sprouts 
BERZA DE BRUSELAS 
One ounce will sow a bed 40 square feet, and pro¬ 
duce about 2,000 plants. 
CULTURE —A very highly esteemed member of the 
Cabbage family. The sprouts are miniature cabbages 
growing closely on the stalk of the plant, a small 
head being formed at each leaf joint. Plants are very 
hardy and live through the winter in all parts of the 
South. Quality and flavor much improved by frost. 
Sow seed in July, in shaded beds, and when plants 
are 4 to G inches high transplant to open ground and 
cultivate as for cabbage. 
PARIS MARKET —A half dwarf bearing a hand¬ 
some crop of round hard sprouts of the finest quality. 
(Pkt. 5c); (oz. 30c); (Vi lb. 90c); (1 lb. $2.75); postpaid. 
Cabbage 
COL REPOLLO 
CULTURE —The secret of growing hardy plants is 
to thoroughly prepare the soil in the plant bed. Plow 
the soil to a depth of eight or ten inches, pulverize 
well. Sow in drills not too freely, about one-half inch 
deep, press the soil firmly over the seed; this is im¬ 
portant, In about six weeks transplant in rows three 
feet apart, one foot in the row for Winnigstadt, 18 
inches for large-heading varieties. Keep the crop 
well watered and cultivated, for when the growth is 
checked the seed head matures and bursts forth as 
soon as moisture is again applied. This accounts for 
much cabbage going to seed. Early varieties mature 
about three and one-half months after transplanting; 
late varieties in about five months. 
GOLDEN ACRE —This very valuable new introduc¬ 
tion is similar to Copenhagen Market, but several 
days earlier and smaller. As the name indicates it is 
a very profitable sort to grow. The size is just right 
and the earliness and uniform heading tendency make 
it one every market grower and home gardener should 
plant for first early. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 40c); (Vi lb. $1.35); 
(1 lb. $4.00); postpaid. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD— V ery early, ma - 
turing in 90 days. Small head inclined to point like 
the Winnigstadt. Recommended for home garden 
where earliness is desired. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 25c); (Vi lb. 
85c); (1 lb. $2.50); postpaid. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET —A new early variety, 
producing large, round heads very early in the season, 
about as early as Jersey Wakefield. It is short 
stemmed, producing heads almost on the ground; 
leaves light green, medium size, and always tightly
