BROCCOLI 
Vitamins C G 
1 oz. will produce 2000 plants 
Seed hot water treated 
If started in greenhouse or hot bed April Ist and 
transplanted into open ground, broccoli will be ready 
for use the first week in July. Later plantings can be 
made in the open ground and either transplanted or 
thinned to 24 inches in the row. Rows should be 3 feet 
apart. Some seasons aphids are rather troublesome, 
especially on early crops. We think best quality heads 
are produced from seed sown about June Ist. 
Dust with ROTENONE for green worms. 
*xITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING (Calabrese): 60 
days. Plants are 3 to 4 feet high and branched. After 
the central head is removed, a number of smaller 
heads are produced on stems 4 to 5 inches in length. 
If kept cut, the plants will continue to produce for 
five or six weeks. Pkt. 15 cts.; % oz. 40 cts.; oz.

TABLE BEETS 
Vitamins ABG 
1 oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
8 to 10 Ibs. will sow 1 acre 
Sow as early as soil can be worked in spring, dropping 
seeds 14 inch apart, % inch deep in rows, 12 to 18 
inches apart. Thin seedlings to 1% to 3 inches, de- 
pending on what size beets are wanted. For continuous 
harvest, plant at three week intervals to August Ist. 
* DETROIT DARK RED: 68 days. The outstanding 
variety for produce shippers and canners; also used 
for bunching. Roots are globular or nearly round, 
very dark, interior color blood red. Unless growing 
conditions are abnormal, the zones are so inconspicu- 
ous that the beets seem to be one solid color. 
Our stock has been outstanding for several years in 
field trials at the New York State Experiment Sta- 
tion. Many growers, producing large acreages of 
canning factory beets, find our Detroit Dark Red 
meet the requirements of the more discriminating 
canners better than other strains. The quality, tex- 
ture and color are uniformly good throughout the 
crop. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; 4% lb. 60 cts.; Ib. 
$2.00; 
CROSBY: 60 days. An early, flattened globe shaped 
variety similar if not identical with Early Wonder. 
Interior color not as solid red as Detroit Dark Red 
but a fine variety for table use. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 30 
cts.; % lb. 55 cts.; lb. $1.75; 10 lbs. $17.00. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Vitamins A C 
1 oz. will produce 2000 plants 
Culture same as Broccoli. 
Dust with ROTENONE for green worms. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED DWARF: 95 days. We 
have found this strain very desirable because it will 
produce sprouts under less favorable conditions than 
other varieties. The plants are of dwarf habit but 
furnish a large yield of sprouts of excellent quality. 
Light freezes seem to improve the quality. Pkt.

CAULIFLOWER 
Vitamins ABCG 
1 oz. will produce 2000 plants 
Seed hot water treated 
For an early crop, sow inside February 15th to March 
15th. Transplant into flats and put out in field as 
soon as danger of hard freezing is over. For late crop, 
sow seed out-of-doors the middle of May and transplant 
into field about July Ist. As soon as heads begin to 
form, draw the leaves over and tie them together for 
protection against rain and sun 
Dust with ROTENONE for green worms. 
SUPER SNOWBALL: 57 days. A strain of Snowball 
used widely where an early crop is grown. Large, 
uniform heads of fine quality are produced where 
conditions are favorable. Requires rich land. We do 
not recommend Super Snowball for the late crop.

Ib. $51.50.

produces a large compact white head but makes a 
very strong leaf growth and is largely self protecting.
