Easier to grow than Cauliflower. 
No other table green has captured the 
appetites of a Nation more than Broccoli, 
and why not? Its delicious fine flavor 
is appetizingly pleasing even to children, 
yet rich in iron; more easily digested 
and is of easier culture. Set plants 18 
in. apart in rows and 24 in. between; 
when the center flowers form, cut with 
about 7 in. of stem; this will be followed 
later by several smaller heads. No fuss 
in tying up, like in cauliflower. 
Fifty Day Sprouting 
Just think of it—you can pick “Fifty 
Day Sprouting Broccoli” in 40 to 50 days 
after transplanting, in certain localities; 
50 to 60 in others. It is unquestionably 
the earliest in cultivation, yet may be 
used for late sowing (up to July). The 
heads are large, deep green, the texture 
extra fine and tender, the taste superb. 
It is a sprouting type, producing many 
lateral heads after the center head is 
cut; being a great heat resister, it will 
not burst into flower. Seeds of this 
superlative variety were imported direct 
from the grower in Italy.

trench, add 3 in. manure, then 3 in. soil, 
dibble in 3 seeds every 18 in.; protect 
against late frost, thin out to one every 
18 in. Water abundantly during dry 
weather. When matured in September, 
tie leaves together, bank with straw or
