BROCCOLI 
Broccoli is a variety of cauliflower, 
but is more hardy and requires a longer 
period for development. It is often called 
“winter cauliflower” and should be treat¬ 
ed the same as late cauliflower. 
ST. VALENTINE. This is the fin¬ 
est variety of broccoli for use in the 
west where it is used largely by mar¬ 
ket gardeners as well as in the home 
garden. The heads are large, solid, 
very white and of finest quality. With 
average weather conditions the crop 
will mature for use about February.

did variety with large white heads of 
good flavor. Pkg., 10c; oz., 50c. 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING. 
This new type of Broccoli is a recent 
introduction from Europe. The heads 
are green instead of white and are

flavor to the standard sorts. If the 
first head is cut when ready others 
will sprout up so that several cuttings 
may be had. It is cooked like cauli¬ 
flower. Pkg., 10c; oz., 75c. 
CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—A good, extra rich soil is essential for the successful cultivation of this most de¬ 
licious vegetable; our most experienced cultivators, however, acknowledge the advantage of a cool, moist 
season. Pursue the same general directions as recommended for growing cabbage, watering liberally 
during the dry weather. An occasional application of liquid manure is beneficial.

of all the early cauliflowers. A great 
favorite with the market gardeners; 
for both early and late planting. Pro¬ 
duces beautiful snow-white heads of 
the most delicious flavor. Pkg., 15c;

This is the choicest selected strain of 
the Erfurt type and is very sure to 
make nice heads. Small leaves, large 
heads. Pkg., 15c; Ya oz -> 60c; oz., $2.00.

weather variety, with large, pure white 
solid heads; two weeks later than the 
Erfurt, but will head up better in dry 
weather. Pkg., 15c; Ya oz., 60c; oz., $2. 
ALGIERS. One of the best kinds of late cauliflower. The plants are large
