feet apart and cover with 4 inches of soil. In the fall, 
cut off and burn the top growth, plow or throw down 
the earth and give a good application of stable manure.

mal bone. If white asparagus is wanted draw earth 
around the stalks as they grow. Do not continue cutting

Broccoli 
Italian Green Sprouting (Calabrese) 
A variety that has become very popular. It branches 
freely, each branch forming a head in bud cluster. The 
central head is cut first and as the side shoots develop 
they are cut with about 6 inches of stem. Five or six 
cuttings are frequently made from one plant. It has a 
distinct flavor considered superior to cauliflower, served 
in much the same way as Asparagus. Can be sown in 
spring, summer or fall, and cultivated like cauliflower 
or cabbage. Our strain of this delicious vegetable is a 
very fine early one, the first cutting may be made in 
about 90 days and if the central head and sprouts are 
cut as they develop it will yield an abundance over a 
long period. Market Gardeners realize good profits as 
it commands the highest prices and is in growing de¬ 
mand. Pkt. 15 cts., Va oz. 20 cts., oz. 50 cts., Va lb. $1.75.
