BROCCOLI 

ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING, BROCCOLI 
(A) Italian Green Sprouting (Calabrese) 55 to 65 Days 
The leading variety for shippers, also used largely by market gardeners and in home 
gardens. A tall branching plant forms a compact central head of bluish green flower buds 
resembling a loose head of cauliflower. After the main head is removed, side branches 
continue to develop throughout the season, and frequently form small heads, which, with 
the stems, are cut and served in the same way as asparagus. It is a highly desirable, delicious 
vegetable, steadily gaining in favor. Pkt., .15; oz., .75; 4 oz., $2.50. 
Extra Early Propageno 
Similar to Calabrese but grows larger heads and is 
much earlier. Very productive. Delicious flavor. Pkt.,
