BROCCOLI 
Broccoli produce fine large heads and are equal 
in size and quality to the best and largest varie¬ 
ties of Cauliflower, but cannot be grown in one 
season like Cauliflower. Seed sown in July pro¬ 
duces mature heads the following spring, from 
January to the latter part of April, depending 
upon the earliness or lateness of the variety. 
Seed is sown in July in open beds and trans¬ 
planted to the permanent field, as soon as the 
plants are sufficiently large to stand transplant¬ 
ing, in rows three to three and one-half feet 
apart, and twenty-four to thirty-six inches in 
the row. Broccoli are gross feeders and the soil 
should be rich or well fertilized for the best 
results.

BROCCOLI —FEBRUARY 
BROCCOLI —TURNIP 
This vegetable, new in this country, is a cross between Broccoli and Turnip. The 
growth is the same as the Sprouting Broccoli and the cultural requirements are the same. 
The jets or sprouts of Broccoli-Turnip are tender and delicious as greens and when 
served in the same manner as Sprouting Broccoli make's a very appetizing dish. The 
flavor of Broccoli-Turnip is more like mustard or turnip greens but more refined with a 
mild pungent taste. 
In some countries 
of Europe these veg¬ 
etables, such as 
Sprouting Broccoli 
and Broccoli-Turnip 
are grown and used 
extensively. These 
are now being 
grown in this coun¬ 
try (especially the 
Sprouting Broccoli) 
to quite an extent. 
They come in at a 
time when fresh veg¬ 
etables are scarce 
and they offer a fine 
addition of healthful 
and appetizing vege¬ 
tables for the winter 
months.
