Rosenkohl (Ger.) BRUSSELS SPROUTS Cavalo di Brussels (It.) 
One ounce of-seed will produce about 3000 plants, a packet 300 plants. 
This delicious vegetable has long been a favorite table delicacy. The delicate flavor is relished by hosts 
of people, but ‘“‘sprouts’”” have been considered difficult to grow. Brussels Sprouts are easy to grow, 
the trouble has been more with the kinds tried than with the growers. With the improved strains we 
offer, any one should be able to grow first class sprouts. The plants ‘are set out like cabbage and the 
sprouts that grow on the stem pick off as wanted. Sprouts are of better quality after having been 
frozen, so the plants may be left in the open ground until nearly December in the North and all winter 
south of New Jersey. If the plants are pulled and stored in a cool not too dry place, you can have 
delicious sprouts for weeks longer. 
CATSKILL (New.) This is the famous strain developed by Mr. Arthur White of Arkport, N. Y. 
—————— and is considered to be the best by the growers of fine sprouts in the “Catskills.” 
We were fortunate in obtaining this strain from Mr. White and have grown a crop of seed this year. 
The plants are of medium size and produce an abundance of fine, large, firm bright green sprouts 
of the finest quality. They sell for highest prices on the market or will make a welcome addition to 
your table from the last of September until nearly mid winter.

LONG ISLAND IMPROVED. Private Stock. This strain is the most uniform stock of 
this popular variety we have ever seen. The plants are 15 to 20 inches tall; the stems

this stock highly for home gardens as well as the commercial grower.

BROCCOLI—A Delicious, Easily Grown Vegetable! 
A packet will produce about 200 plants; an ounce about 2000. 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING. True Calabrese Strain. The Best Heading Kind. @ 
Almost everyone is now familiar with this delicious vegetable, but most people do not °* 
realize how easy it is to grow. Simply sow the seed in the open ground in May and when 
the plants are large enough, transplant into the garden about 2% ft. apart. 
The large center “head” is cut out when ready to use and the plant will then form 
numerous branch heads which can be used later, so a continuous supply may be had for 
a long time. A few plants set in June will give sufficient of this very popular delicacy for a 
medium sized family. Sprouting Broccoli is a very profitable crop both for market and 
roadside stands. The yield is large and broccoli always sells for good prices. 
Note: If a large center head is not desired (as for bunching) seed may be sown di- 
rectly in rows 24% to 3 ft. apart and the plants thinned 3 to 6 in. apart. This will produce 
a great number of small center heads, and side shoots for bunching. Sow from the 
middle of May until the last of June. 
Be sure to get a good stock. We know ours is early and uniform, each plant producing 
a large center head and many side shoots. It’s the best stock we have ever seen. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Oz. 30c; Oz. 90c; 14 Lb. $2.50; Lb. $8.75. 

Italian Green Sprouting Broccoli 
This is the large center head. 
CHINESE CABBAGE also called “Celery Cabbage” 
An ounce of seed will sow 300 to 400 feet of row, a packet 30 feet. 
Forms tender crisp heads which are very delicious and can be served in a number of ways. The 
flavor somewhat resembles cabbage but is much more delicate. It is delicious when served as salad 
or slaw. The leaves may be cooked like spinach or the midrib alone used and served like asparagus 
The seed should be sown not earlier than the first of July in rows 2% feet. apart, and the plants 
thinned to 18 to 20 inches apart in the rows. If sown early it soon runs to seed and is useless. 
Matures in 8 to 10 weeks. 
C HIHLI. By Far The Best Variety. Heads earlier and more evenly than any other kind. The 
—— heads are pointed, very firm and when matured are often 18 inches long. They are 
pure white inside, tender and of finest quality. 
Chihli has now almost entirely superseded the older varieties as the attractive heads are more 
firm, and mature earlier. Our strain is very uniform and sure heading.
