BROCCOLI 
Cauliflower Type 
Heading or Cauliflower broccoli is handled 
the same as cauliflower and has a head 
similar to it. It has a longer growing 
period than cauliflower, and the foliage 
growth is heavy, not being necessary to 
tie the leaves over the head for blanching. 
Seed sown in July produces mature heads 
the following spring starting in January 
and continuing through April, depending 
upon which variety is used. 
LAGO JANUARY — Matures in January. 
Pkt. 10c, % oz. 60c, 1 oz. $2.00, 4 lb. $6.50. 


The same cultural methods 
that produce good cabbage 
will do likewise for Cauli- 
flower. Being a heavy feed- 
er, Cauliflower requires a 
little more fertile soil, and, 
too, the heads should be 
protected from he sunlight 
by gathering the tops of 
the leaves together loosely 
in order to produce the 
pure white curd-like head. 
Seed sown in June, July 
and August and transplant- 
ed to the field will mature 
heads in October, Novem- 
ber and December.
