Hart & Vick’s Vegetable Seeds 
are tested by a Famous Agricultural Experiment Station and the results of this test appear 
on every package of Vegetable Seeds we send out 
The varieties of vegetables listed in this Catalogue are those which have proved to be the best for use in the gardens of 
our customers and in our trial-grounds. We show in CAPITAL letters those kinds that we especially recommend to you. 
You get the same high-quality seed in these garden-size packages as we furnish to the market-gardener and florist, whose 
living depends on the quality of seed he sows.

Italian Green Sprouting Calabrese Broccoli

A vegetable very similar to cauliflower but 
less delicate in flavor. Hardy, thrives best in 
cool weather and should be hoed and watered 
frequently. Sow the seed inside or in cold- 
frames in January or February and set out 
plants when ground is warm. Cultivate the 
same as cauliflower. 
Asparagus Roots 
A leaflet on the “Planting and Care of 
Asparagus” sent with every order 
The popularity of Asparagus in the home- 
garden is growing rapidly, as people learn 
how easily it may be raised, and how much 
better the flavor is when cooked immediately 
after cutting. Asparagus begins to lose flavor 
20 minutes after being taken from the ground. 
A small bed 12 feet wide and 25 feet long will 
hold 100 plants and yield sufficient Asparagus 
for the family of ordinary size. 
Mary Washington. This new variety is the 
very finest for the home-garden or to grow 
for market. At last we have not only a 
rustproof variety but an Asparagus that is 
very fast-growing, exceedingly tender, of 
excellent flavor, and that produces heavy 
stalks 1 to 2 inches in diameter. It is 
larger and earlier than Pedigreed Washing¬ 
ton, and the stalks are slightly oval in form. 
SELECTED ROOTS. Doz. 45c; 50 for 
$1.25; 100 for $2; 1000 for $13.50. Add 
5c for each 25 roots if to be sent by 
Parcel Post. 
Asparagus Seed 
One ounce of seed will produce 200 plants; 
5 pounds will sow an acre 
Soak the seed in warm water for 24 hours,

plants in the permanent bed.

den kind. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 34 lb. 50c.

spring. If sown in hotbeds in February can 
be grown to bud the first year.

Italian Green Sprouting Calabrese. A 
favorite vegetable with the Italians and 
now becoming very popular in our Ameri¬ 
can gardens. The plant forms good- 
sized heads, and after these are cut, other 
heads form, providing fresh vegetables for 
a long season. Sow early in coldframes for 
spring; outdoors in June and July for a 
fall crop. Pkg. 15c; 34 oz. 25c; oz. 65c; 
34 lb. $2.25.

The small heads, resembling cabbage, are 
formed along the stalk. Prepare like cabbage 
or in cream, like cauliflower. Sow seed in 
spring; transplant and cultivate same as 
cabbage, except leaves should be broken 
down in fall, giving heads more room to 
grow. Freezing improves the quality of the 
sprouts. They may be left in the ground, 
here in the North, until December.

sized heads. Pkg. 15c; oz. 55c; 34 lb. $1.85.
