ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING (CALABRESE) BRACE 60 
The outstanding variety for the trade that has rapidly developed in the last few years. 
There is none better for either shippers, home, or market gardeners. The plant is tall, 
erect, with a central head and numerous side sprouts. When the central head or cluster 
of green flower buds is cut, then the side sprouts shoot out small clusters which con- 
tinue to furnish edible heads over a long season. When prepared for the table, it has 
a distinct and delicate flavor which is most enjoyable. Adapted to freezing preservation.
