BROCCOLI— SPROUTING 
An entirely different and distinct vegetable, long a favorite in 
Europe but recently introduced in this country. The plants branch 
freely and each branch terminates in a head or bud cluster. Can be 
cooked for about twenty minutes and served in the same way as 
asparagus or cauliflower. Culture much the same as cauliflower, 
although more easily and successfully grown in the northern states.

Broccoli—Green Sprouting. Start in plant beds 
BEETS—Table 
Plant 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill. Six to eight pounds per acre. 
Beets are easily grown and one of the profitable crops for the 
market grower. If desirable to be very early, they may be grown 
in the hotbed and transplanted. Prepare soil by manuring heavily 1 
and discing well before plowing, to make it easier to turn the 
manure under and thoroughly mix it with the soil. Harrow as soon 
as plowed, making a fine, well-settled seed bed. It is a great 
advantage to drag or float the land as this crushes all small clods 
and settles the surface well. Plant as early in the spring as 
the weather will permit. Beets will stand light frosts, but care must 
be taken, as a heavy frost would destroy them. The rows should 
be 16 to 20 inches apart and the seed planted from 1 to 1% inches 
deep. Thin to 2 to 3 inches apart. Plant some thickly for greens. 
There 1 are no better greens than small tender beets (tops and all.) 
Table beets may be sown at intervals of four weeks until the 
latter part of June to have tender, even sized beets throughout the 
season from late summer until winter, the later planting being for 
siloing to use or sell during the winter.
