BROCCOLI 
One Ounce of Seed Will Sow 100 Yards of Row. 
Seed breaks ground in about 4 days. One inch 
high in 7 days under most favorable circum¬ 
stances in greenhouse. A plant much resembling 
Cauliflower, and like it derived from the wild 
Cabbage. 
Early Green Calabrese or Italian—65 Days. 
This is a so-called new vegetable introduced into the 
United States in the last few years, but has been 
well known in Italy for generations. The Italian 
population in the United States has taken to it 
very freely, as have all users of vegetables. It 
should be sown very early in the Spring and mar¬ 
keted in July and August.—Pkt. 10, oz. 35, }/t, lb.

Bountiful 
BUSH BEANS 
The GardenJBean was probably first cultivated in Western Asia and 
was known in Rome about 2000 years ago. Average Height of Vine, 
15’inches. 2 Lbs. Will Plant 100 Yds.; 80 Lbs. per Acre. Seed breaks 
ground in 6 days. One inch high in 9 days under most favorable 
circumstances in greenhouse. We Suggest Planting Only Stringless 
types. Beans are one of the most desirable and easily cultivated vegetables 
that can be raised in the family garden. 
GREEN PODS 
Black Valentine, Stringless—50 Days. Color of seed black, shape long, 
slim, purple blossoms, vines 16 to 18 inches tall, pods half round to round. 
Slightly curved, absolutely stringless. Six to 6| inches long, color medium 
green, averaging 6 or 7 beans to the pod. Very prolific, extremely desirable 
for early planting, very hardy, productive, a most excellent shipper; a 
decided improvement over the old style stringy Black Valentine. 
Bountiful—50 Days. Vines 16 inches high, bushy and erect. Color of 
seed, light yellow with brownish color about eye. Pods, large, flat, 6 to 6^ 
inches long containing 6 or 7 kidney shaped beans. Color of pods, light 
green, absolutely stringless, slightly fibrous, always tender. One of the best 
for both market and private gardens. The earliest and most tender of the 
strictly flat stringless pods, being in a class by itself. 
Dwarf Horticultural, Speckled Cranberry, or Ruby—56 Days. Color 
of seed resembles Horticultural Pole. Height of vine, 14 inches. Pods flat, 
broad almost straight, absolutely stringless, dashed with red as they ripen. 
About 5 inches long, averaging 5 beans to the pod. 
French Horticultural—70 Days. Later than the Dwarf Horticultural. 
Color of seed, cream mottled purple. Height of vine, 22 inches. Pods flat, 
straight to slightly curved, fibrous stringy as they grow old. Vines all show 
a running tendency, making a wild appearance; therefore, much more 
vigorous than Dwarf Horticultural, but not as productive. Pods all green 
until quite ripe, when they are dashed with a brilliant red. Valuable as a 
shell bean, averaging 6 or 7 beans to the pod. Pods 6| to 7 inches. 
Full Measure—58 Days. Seed speckled mahogany color. Height of vine, 
14 to 16 inches. Average 6 beans to pod. Foliage slightly larger than 
Landreths’ Stringless Green Pods, and more of a yellowish green. Pods 
average 6 inches long, more curved than Stringless Green Pods, absolutely 
stringless, possibly more green in color. Pods round, not so large in cir¬ 
cumference as Landreths’ Stringless Green Pods, nor as hardy.
