Beets are generally liked but their chief nutritional value is in their tops. Beet greens are an 
excellent source of vitamin A and a good source of both vitamin C and iron. 
Time to Plant—Sow quite early in the Spring(aboutApril 20)and at intervals, from then until about July 25. 
Soil Preparation —A light, rich soil is best. Do not use fresh manure for it will cause the roots to become 
scabby. Old, well rotted manure well mixed with the soil is excellent; also a standard vezetable fertilizer with 
a high potash content. 
Planting—Sow the seed thinly in rows and later thin out so that the plants will stand about 2 inches apart. 
Allow about |'%4 feet of space between rows. 
1 ounce of seed should sow a 50-foot row

BROCCOLI 
Rich in vitamins A and C and a fair source 
of calctum and iron. 
Time to Plant—Seeds may be sown either indoors 
or in a coldframe as early as March 15, or from April 
20 to about June | in the open ground. 
Soil—The soil should be deep, rich and well 
drained. Wet or sour conditions will only result in 
failure. 
Seed Sowing —For the early crop sow in flats or 
in sheltered seed beds of finely pulverized loam. 
Broadcast the seed thinly over the surface and cover 
lightly (no more than 4 inch) with finely sifted soil. 
Culture—When the resulting plants are large 
enough to handle, thin out or transplant so they will 
have ample space in which to develop, and transplant 
to the garden after May |. Set the plants about 
18 inches apart in rows with about 2!4 feet between 
the rows. After the central head has been cut (about 
60 days after the plants have been set out) side 
branches will develop and provide a succession of 
edible heads over a long season. 
1 ounce should produce 2000 plants 
5319 Italian, Breck’s Selected Stock. SO 
days. This is a very superior strain of this 
extremely popular and easily grown vege- 
table. It first produces a large and handsome 
center head, which when cut, is followed by 
many smaller heads on offset branches. A 
continuous supply is thus enjoyed. We rec- 
ommend all home growers to give this a place 
in their gardens.
