BROCCOLI 
CAULIFLOWER 
Culture Same as for cauliflower. Italian Broccoli much 
resembles a green-headed cauliflower. The true Italian Broccoli 
produces one head on its main stalk. When this has been cut 
smaller heads appear, which are also marketed. 
There are any number of strains of Broccoli, some of which 
are not desirable. Buyers should therefore use caution in 
order to be sure of getting the true sort. 
Broccoli — Special Italian 
(Propageno Early Strain) 
SPECIAL ITALIAN-PROPAGENO EARLY STRAIN This 
is a very fancy strain of Italian Broccoli, having a 
main head, and smaller heads appearing after the 
main head has been removed. The Propageno strain 
is earlier than the Calabrese as usually sold, and pro¬ 
duces larger heads, is a prolific yielder of the best 
quality. We are supplying this strain to very large 
growers with entire satisfaction. Pkt., 20c; oz., 
$1.00; M lb -> $3.°°; lb., $10.00. 
CHRISTMAS CALABRESE A very good strain 
of the true heading Broccoli. This strain also pro¬ 
duces smaller heads after the removal of the main 
head, but is not quite as early as our Propageno nor 
are the heads as large. Pkt., 20c; oz., $1.00; 34 lb., 
$3.00; lb., $10.00. 
Culture To control root-rot or yellows, treat soil after 
plants are up, with solution of 8 oz. bichloride of mecury to 
SO gallons of water. Grows well in cool weather, but in gen¬ 
eral should be grown like cabbage. For early crop, sow in the 
hotbed in January or February, and transplant when freezing 
weather is past. For late crop, sow in May or June, and treat 
like late cabbage. Set out the plants 18 inches apart in 2 to 2 l /i 
foot rows. An ounce of seed will produce about 5000 plants, or 
% pound for an acre. 
EARLY SNOWBALL We continue to offer our 
friends the same strain of Early Snowball which 
has given them such satisfaction and good results 
in the past. This is an extra fancy Danish grown 
seed, producing an early maturing strain of the short 
leaved type. It is well adapted for forcing or 
winter use. Pkt., 25c; 34 oz., $1.35; oz., $2.50; 
>4 lb., $8.00; lb., $30.00. 
Super Snowball Cauliflower 
SUPER SNOWBALL The finest, earliest, most 
profitable cauliflower variety in existence. Given 
good soil, and proper care, Super Snowball can be 
harvested and out of the way before ordinary va¬ 
rieties are ready to cut. The heads are large, the 
leaves quite large and curl over the head for pro¬ 
tection from the sun. This seed is the originator’s 
strain. Pkt., 50c; J4 oz., $1.50; oz., $2.75; lb., 
$10.00; lb., $35.00.
