BOTZUM BROS SEED CO. 
CHRISTMAS CALABRESE, GREEN SPROUTING 
(55 to 65 Days from setting plants to first cutting) 
The leading variety for shippers, also used largely by market garden¬ 
ers and in home gardens. A tall branching plant forms a central head 
of bluish green flower buds resembling a loose head of Cauliflower* 
After the main head is removed, side branches continue to develop 
throughout the season, and frequently form small heads, which, with the 
stems, are cut and served in the same way as Asparagus- It is a high¬ 
ly desirable, delicious vegetable, steadily gaining in favor-

CABBAGE 
NATIVE OF WESTERN ASIA, 
CULTIVATED SINCE THE EARLIEST TIMES 
Our crops of Cabbage are produced largely in the Puget Sound section 
of Washington from seed stocks of finest quality, and from the best grow¬ 
ers of Denmark. Each year the various strains are checked to guard the 
vital factors of earliness and evenness of maturity. Varieties listed in 
larger type are, in our judgment, the more important ones.
