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; y A lb., $3.00; lb., $8.00. 
CHRISTMAS CALABRESE A very good strain of 
the true heading Broccoli. This strain also produces 
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; J4 lb., 
3.00; lb., $8.00. 
Culture To control root-rot or yellows, treat soil after 
plants are up, with solution of 8 oz. bichloride of mercury tc 
50 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 treai 
like late cabbage. Set out the plants 18 inches apart in 2 to 2J/ ; 
foot rows. An ounce of seed will produce about 5000 plants, or 
J4 pound for an acre. 
EARLY SNOWBALL We continue to offer our friend 1 
the same strain of Early Snowball which has giver 
them such satisfaction and good results in the past
