BROCCOLI 
No. 15. Green Sprouting 
Calabrese 
(90 Days).—This delicious vegetable is of easy 
culture and can be grown for an early crop by 
starting seeds in a hot-bed or green-house in 
February or March and later transplanting the 
same as cabbage or can be sown in open bed 
after ground becomes warm transplanting 2 y 2 
feet apart each way. 
Plants start producing heads in about 90 days 
and continue to bear for 8 to 10 weeks. Succes¬ 
sive sowings should be made so as to have a con¬ 
tinuous crop till frost. One ounce of seed will 
produce about 1500 plants. 
Green heads somewhat in the form of Cauli¬ 
flower, measuring four or five inches across, al¬ 
though not of so compact a form grow from the 
center of the plant. These are cut out and used 
before the flower buds open up, and then from the 
axis of the leaves there gradually will develop 
thick, fleshy, light green sprouts with buds simi¬ 
lar in form to those removed earlier from the 
centre of the plants, but smaller, ranging from 
one to three inches across. Cut these with about 
five or six inches of stem and prepare for the 
table like Asparagus. The sprouts should be cut 
regularly and just as soon as sufficiently develop¬ 
ed, otherwise they will soon flower and fail to 
produce further. To obtain the best flavor. 
Broccoli should be cooked soon after being cut.
