ITALIAN BROCCOLI 
This vegetable aristocrat is rap¬ 
idly attaining unusual popularity. 
The rapid-growing, tail-branching 
plant forms, within 90 days, a 
central head of bluish green flow¬ 
er-buds resembling a loose head of 
cauliflower. After the head is cut 
the plant produces many side- 
shoots, each one bearing a small 
head over an inch in diameter. 
These shoots, when about 6 inches 
long, are cut and marketed 2 and. 
3 to the bunch. It is cooked and 
served like cauliflower. 
Culture. Very easy to grow. 
Culture same as for cabbage. It 
requires a definitely cool season 
for its proper growth. One ounce 
will produce 1,500 plants; 4 to 6 
ounces, an acre.
