BEAN, TRUE RUSH LIMA 
I X regard to seed ordered last spring, will say that we had the best 
garden this season we ever had. Xott’s Excelsior and Vick’s Daisy 
Peas were fine, the Sugar Peas the best we ever raised. All the other 
seed were in the same line, good, extra good. We thought we could not 
raise any peas as good as McLean’s Little Gem, but Vick’s Daisy is better. 
Xow our garden is 9,000 feet above sea level, in the foot hills of Sangre de 
Christo Mountain, and Vick’s seeds will grow there. 
Very truly yours, 
GhoKge Drury, Las Animas Co., Colorado. 
I ALWAYS use your seeds, as I know by experience they are good. I 
wouldn’t now use any other seeds but yours. I have used them five 
or six years. Always send me a catalogue, as I like it for reference 
and to show my friends. Yours respectfully, 
Claka M. Graff, Elkhorn, Wis.

BROCCOLI 
Broccoli resembles the Cauliflower. Broccoli, however, is the more hardy, and 
in many sections of the country would not suffer in winter. It likes a cool, moist 
climate, and dislikes severe summer heat more than cold. For a fall crop, sow 
seed early' in spring, in shallow drills three or four inches apart. When about 
four inches high plant out two feet each way', in rich soil. For early summer use 
many gardeners sow the seed about September 1st and transplant into coldframes 
the latter part of October. Early' in April the plants may' be transplanted into the 
open ground. Cultivate same as Cauliflower. One ounce will produce 4,000 plants.
