CHINESE CABBAGE 
Culture These varieties grow much like cos lettuce, but should be grown like cabbage. If for early planting, sow 
in hot beds in February; if for later planting, sow early in June. The plant matures in from 12 to 15 weeks from time 
of sowing seed, and will not stand frost. 
IMPROVED PEKIN A Chinese celery cabbage 
resembling both celery and cos lettuce. The 
heads are tall and cylindrical, usually being 
18 inches in height, but often reaching two 
feet. It is a sure heading type, and the 
flavor is very fine. The accompanying pho¬ 
tograph shows well its characteristics. It 
is a far better storage keeper than Wong 
Bok. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; lb-, $1-5 lb., $3.50. 
WONG BOK We have been growing this variety on 
our own ranch in California for some years, and 
it has never failed to please our customers. The 
heads are broader and shorter than Improved 
Pekin, but the heading qualities are equally good, 
as is also the flavor. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; lb., 60c; 
lb., $2.00. 
BROCCOLI 
Culture Same as for cauliflower. Italian Broccoli much re¬ 
sembles a green-headed cauliflower. The true Italian Broccoli 
produces one head on its main stalk. When this has been cut, 
smaller heads appear, which are also marketed. 
There are any number of strains of Broccoli, some of which 
are not desirable. Buyers should therefore use caution in order 
to be sure of getting the true sort. 
SPECIAL ITALIAN-PROPAGENO EARLY STRAIN This 
is a very fancy strain of Italian Broccoli, having a main 
head, and smaller heads appearing after the main head 
has been removed. The Propageno strain is earlier than 
the Calabrese as usually sold, and produces larger heads, 
is a prolific yielder of the best quality. We are supplying 
this strain to very large growers with entire satisfaction. 
Pkt., 20c; oz., 60c; l /\. lb., $3.00; lb., $10.00. 
CHRISTMAS CALABRESE A very good strain of the 
true heading Broccoli. This strain also produces smaller 
heads after the removal of the main head, but is not quite 
as early as our Propageno nor are the heads as large. 
Pkt., 20c; oz., 60c; lb., $3.00; lb., $10.00.
