BROCCOLI

Should be treated the same as cauliflower, which it re¬ 
sembles. In fact, it is practically a coarse summer cauli¬ 
flower, more divided in the head, grows larger and taller and 
is hardier and easier to grow. 
ST. VALENTINE. (A pure white strain) is the best. Our 
seed is of the English type grown extensively in the north.

GREEN SPROUTING, CHRISTMAS CALABRESE. A new 
member of the Broccoli family to be used in this country. 
The edible portion differs from other Broccoli in use in 
that the flower heads are borne on long stems which are 
cooked and eaten along with the flower and are of a 
very mild flavor, having none of the distinct cabbage 
flavor so common in this family of plants. Plant and 
care for the same as the other Broccolis or Cauliflower.

CABBAGE 
COL REPOLLO 
CULTURE. The secret of growing hardy plants is to 
thoroughly prepare the soil in the seed bed. Plow the soil 
to a depth of eight or ten inches, pulverize well. Sow it in 
drills, not too frely, about one-half inch deep, press the soil 
firmly over the seed; this is important. In about six weeks 
transplant in rows three feet apart, one foot in the row for 
Winningstadt, eighteen inches for large heading varieties. 
Keep the crop well watered and cultivated for when the 
growth is checked the seed head matures and bursts forth 
as soon as moisture is again applied. This accounts for 
Early Winningstadt Cabbage 
much cabbage going to seed. Early varieties mature about 
three and one-half months from transplanting, late varieties 
about five months. 
Should there be a cold spell when the thermometer lingers 
below 25 degrees, just at the time the cabbage begins to 
head, you may expect 25 per cent of your crop to shoot to 
seed.

large, very hard and heavy, weighing a fourth more than
