HIGH QUALITY SEEDS 
Swiss Chard 
(Bieta, Bleda o Acelga, Beisskohl 
CULTURE—Swiss Chard is a beet grown for its leaves. 
The midrib when boiled makes delicious greens, or the leaves 
may be boiled and served as spinach. Sown in the spring, the 
leaves are soon ready to eat and will continue to grow all 
through the summer and fall. 
LiUCULIiUS —A new variety with curled leaves like 
a Savoy Cabbage. The plant grows nearly two 
feet high and the stem and leaves are very large 
and of fine quality. 
I3ARK GREEN—Leaves broad, upright in growth, 
very dark green savoyed, with broad white mid¬ 
rib. This variety on account of its giant size and 
pleasing deep green color, will probably supersede 
other sorts.

Broccoli Italian Green Sprouting: 
Broccoli 
(Broccoli, Broculi, Spargelkohl) 
CULTURE—Belongs to the same family as the cauliflower. 
More hardy and therefore better adapted to a wider range 
of conditions. Sow the seed in the same manner as for, late 
cabbage, in May, and transplant in June or July, in very rich 
soil. 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING—A new and distinct va¬ 
riety of the sprouting type. It forms a large head con¬ 
sisting of a cluster of bluish green flower-heads. When 
this central head is removed the plant develops numerous 
lateral sprouts, each of which produces a small head. 
These are cut, leaving about 6 inches of the stem, and 
are tied in bunches for market. Both stems and heads 
are cooked and served like cauliflower. Ready for 
market in about 90 days. 
Postpaid (Pkt. 10c) (Oz. 85c) (% lb. $1.10) (lb. $3.50). 
EARLY PROPAGENO— Earlier than the Italian Green 
Sprouting, produces larger heads and yields heavily.

Brussels Sprouts 
(Cavolo di Brusselles, Col de Bruselas, Rosenkohl) 
CULTURES—Used in the fall and early winter. Plant re¬ 
sembles the cabbage, the edible part being the numerous very 
small heads or sprouts an inch or two in diameter formed on 
the stalk at each leaf joint. The culture is the same as for 
cabbage, except the leaves should be broken down in the fall 
to give the little heads more room to grow.

and compact, 20 inches tall; very uniform; stem well 
covered with firm round cabbage-like heads of 1 % to

Cabbage 
(Cavolo Cappuccio, Colrepollo, KopfkoHl Kraut) 
Golden Acre 
CULTURE!—One ounce of seed will produce from 2,000 to 
3,000 plants. It requires from 4 to 6 ounces of seed to pro¬ 
duce plants for an acre of ground. For early cabbage^ in the 
Northern States the seed should be sown in hot-beds in Feb¬ 
ruary or March, or about six weeks before the ground outside 
is ready to receive the plants. 
Seeds of the late varieties may be sown in cold frames or 
in the open ground in April or May and transplanted in the 
fields in June and July. Seed of early varieties for late 
crop may be sown as late as June 10th and mature a good 
crop. Cabbage requires a well-fertilized soil to grow a suc¬ 
cessful crop; 12,000 plants will set an acre. Where the soil 
is infected with Cabbage “yellows”. Yellow Resistant vari¬ 
eties should be planted.
