BROCCOLI 
Broccoli is a variety of cauliflower, 
but is more hardy and requires a longer 
;period for development. It is often called 
“winter cauliflower” and should be treat¬ 
ed the same as late cauliflower. 
ST. VALENTINE. This is the fin¬ 
est variety of broccoli for use in the 
west where it is used largely by mar¬ 
ket gardeners as well as in the home 
garden. The heads are large, solid, 
very white and of finest quality. With 
average weather conditions the crop 
will mature for use about February.

$4.00. 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING. 
This new type of Broccoli is a recent 
introduction from Europe. The heads 
are green instead of white and are 
considered by many to be superior in 
flavor to the standard sorts. If the 
first head is cut when ready others 
will sprout up so that several cuttings 
may be had. It is cooked like cauli¬ 
flower. Pkg., 10c; oz., 75c. 
CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—A good, extra rich soil is essential for the successful cultivation of this most delicious 
vegetable; our most experienced cultivators, however, acknowledge the advantage of a cool, moist season. 
Pursue the same general directions as recommended for growing cabbage, watering liberally during the 
dry weather. An occasional application of liquid manure is beneficial. 
HENDERSON’S EARLY SNOW¬ 
BALL. The best known and most used 
of all the early cauliflowers. A great 
favorite with the market gardeners; 
for both early and late planting. Pro¬ 
duces beautiful snow-white heads of 
the most delicious flavor. Pkg., 15c; 
>4 oz., 60c; oz., $2.00. 
EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT. 
This is the choicest selected strain of 
the Erfurt type and is very sure to 
make nice heads. Small leaves, large 
heads. Pkg., 15c; 54 oz., 60c; oz., $2.00. 
DANISH GIANT. An excellent dry 
weather variety, with large, pure white 
solid heads; two weeks later than the 
Erfurt, but will head up better in dry 
weather. Pkg., 15c; 54 oz -> 60c; oz -» $2. 
ALGIERS. One of the best kinds of late cauliflower. The plants are large 
and upright, with the leaves protecting the heads so that this sort will stand the 
frosts that would ruin many other varieties. A great favorite with market gar¬ 
deners who desire a late marketing sort. Pkg., 10c; 54 oz., 30c; oz., $1.00;
