BROCCOLI—Trivett’s Emerald Isle 
Trivett’s broccoli 
Broculi (Ital.) Sparkelkohl (Ger.) 
Broccoli (Fr.) 
Trivett’s Emerald Isle. 
Improved green headed variety that, owing 
to earliness and rapid growth, is one of the 
few that will “head up” in this country, 
producing heads like Cauliflower, but grass 
green in color, retaining this color after 
cooking. After the large main head has 
been cut, the plant will produce a number 
of smaller heads which should be bunched 
together for cooking. A good proportion 
of stem should be cut with the heads, these 
cook soft and are very similar to Asparagus. 
Cook, prepare and serve like Cauliflower. 
Delicious flavor, a combination of As¬ 
paragus and Cauliflower.

Sow seed of Brussels Sprouts about I5th of May, thin out young seedlings, 
and when 3 inches high, plant out in garden in rows 3 feet apart and 
2 feet between the plants. When heads begin to form, break off leaves from 
plant, commencing with the lower ones, and following up the stem as the 
Sprouts develop. Brussels Sprouts are of very late maturing habit, the 
flavor is much improved by slight frosts. Some gardeners find it advisable 
to sow earlier than above date, for their particular locality. 
How to Grow Broccoli—The type we offer above is, in our opinion, the 
only sort worth while attempting to grow in this country. Most of the 
varieties popular in Europe do not do well here. “Trivett’s Emerald 
Isle” is such a rapid grower that the seed may be sown at different times 
and several crops secured. However, those which come in during July 
and August are somewhat inferior, being inclined to bolt or break into 
flower and seed. For real quality and production, it is best to treat like 
Cauliflower, that is secure an early crop in frames from aFebruary sowing 
and a late crop outdoors {September and October) from a June sowing.
