BROCCOLI or HARDY CAULIFLOWER 
Mammoth White Broccoli —A late variety, 
season December to February. Long, taper¬ 
ing, heavy ribbed leaves, inner leaves curling 
about the head. While considered a broccoli, 
it is really only a late cauliflower. Brings 
fancy prices, but the grower must take 
chances on freezing in the northern part of 
the state. Pkt., 10c; l-oz., 50c; oz., $1.50; 
.Mb.. $5.00. 
MID-WINTER —This new broccoli has 
many desirable qualities for the market gar¬ 
dener. It commences to mature about Jan¬ 
uary 1st and continues to head during Janu¬ 
ary and February. The plants are somewhat 
dwarf, the foliage is long and heavily'»ribbed, 
curling close around solid, snow-white heads. 
When cooked they arc very sweet and tender. 
They will stand considerable cold, but will 
he injured by a hard freeze, followed by 
Chinook conditions. 'The fancy prices ob¬ 
tainable at this season will justify taking the 
chances on a fairly good planting of this va¬ 
riety. Pkt., 20c; l-oz., 65c; oz., $2.00; 1-lb., 
$6.50; postpaid.
