Broccoli 
Broccoli 
Requires the same treatment as cauliflower. 
One ounce of seed will produce 5,000 plants; 4 ounces will sow an acre 
Calabrese. 110 days. A sprouting variety. Forms a large 
head which remains green; when head is cut out, small 
sprouts develop from the upper side of each leaf branch. 
Sow in the open ground during the early summer; matures 
in three months. 
Early Special Calabrese. 100 days. An improved strain of 
the Calabrese type, maturing 7 to 10 days earlier. 
Rape. Grown for the delicious greens it produces. 
Brussels Sprouts 
Species of cabbage, with small, solid, tender heads clustered 
thickly along the main stem. Properly cooked and seasoned, 
they are delicious, melting away in the mouth like fine cauli¬ 
flower. Sow seed in April or May and cultivate like cabbage. 
Hardy, and the heads are improved by frost. 
One ounce of seed will produce 3,000 plants; 4 ounces will sow an acre 
Dwarf Improved. 125 days. Plants dwarf, with small, solid, 
tender heads growing very close together along the stem. 
Carrots 
Carrots succeed best on light, sandy loam, which, preferably, 
should have been well fertilized the previous year, as fresh 
manure often causes the roots to grow pronged and mis¬ 
shapen. Sow the seed as early in spring as the ground can be 
prepared, firming the soil down over it. If sown late, it should 
be soaked in tepid water, then mixed with plaster or sifted 
coal-ashes, and sown on freshly prepared soil. Quick germina¬ 
tion and rapid growth are necessary. 
Sow l / 4 ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 2*4 lbs. to an acre 
Asgrow Imperator. 77 days. New. An outstanding type 
bred for market-garden use. Top medium but strong enough 
for bunching. Flesh rich orange color, with indistinct core, 
fine-grained, tender, and of fine quality. 
Chantenay. 70 days. Handsome roots, broad-shouldered and 
smooth, and more uniform than the Danvers. Of superior 
flavor. 
Danvers Half-Long. 75 days. Enormously productive; 
adapted to all soils. The roots are smooth, thick and inter¬ 
mediate between Scarlet Horn and Long Orange in form. 
Early Scarlet Horn. 60 days. Best for forcing and early 
outdoor crops; can be grown in shallow soils, and requires no 
thinning if sparingly sown, as the roots are used when young 
for cooking. About 3 inches long, and of good quality. 
Feonia. A novelty from Denmark. A cross between the 
well-known Nantes and Chantenay varieties. 
Hutchinson. 72 days. A heavy yielder and attractive. 
Improved Long Orange. 80 days. Hardly equal to Danvers 
in quality, but good and heavy in yield. 
Large White Belgian. 100 days. For stock-feeding and 
especially suited to shallow soils. Roots white-fleshed, broad 
at the shoulder and narrowed abruptly to a point.

garden use. Flesh reddish orange, crisp, tender, and of very 
delicate flavor, practically coreless.
