BROCCOLI—A Delicious, Easily Grown Vegetable! 
A packet will produce about 200 plants; an ounce about 2000. 
Almost everyone is now familiar with this delicious vegetable, but most people do not 
realize how easy it is to grow. Simply sow the seed in the open ground in May and when 
the plants are large enough, transplant into the garden about 21% ft. apart. 
The larger center ““head”’ is cut out when ready to use and the plant will then form 
numerous branch heads which can be used later, so a continuous supply may be had for a 
long time. A few plants set in June will give sufficient of this very popular delicacy for a 
medium sized family. Sprouting Broccoli is a very profitable crop both for market and 
roadside stands. The yield is large and broccoli always sells for good prices. 
Note: If a large center head is not desired (as for bunching) seed may be sown directly 
in rows 24% to 3 ft. apart and the plants thinned 3 to 6 in. apart. This will produce a great 
number of small center heads and side shoots for bunching. Sow from the middle of May 
until the last of June. 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING. True Calabrese Strain. The Best Heading Kind. This

Broccoli—this is the large center head. 

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
One ounce of seed will produce about 3000 plants, a packet 300 plants. 
This delicious vegetable has long been a favorite table delicacy. The 
delicate flavor is relished by hosts of people, but “sprouts”? have been 
considered difficult to grow. Brussels Sprouts are easy to grow, the trouble 
has been more with the kinds tried than with the growers. With the fine 
strain we offer, any one should be able to grow first class sprouts. The 
plants are set out like cabbage and the sprouts that grow on the stem 
picked off as wanted. Sprouts are of better quality after having been 
frozen, so the plants may be left in the open ground until nearly Decem- 
ber in the North and all winter south of New Jersey. If the plants are 
pulled and stored in a cool not too dry place, you can have delicious 
sprouts for weeks longer. 
CATSKILL (New.) The Best Variety. With this new strain, both 
- home and market gardeners can obtain fine Brussels 
Sprouts where they have never been able to grow them before. It was 
developed by Mr. Arthur White of Arkville, N. Y. and is considered the 
best strain in the Catskill mountain region where the finest Brussels 
Sprouts in the country are grown. Even under adverse conditions it 
will produce large crops of fine sprouts. 
The plants are of medium size and produce an abundance of fine, 
firm dark green sprouts of the finest quality. They sell for highest prices 
on the market or will make a welcome addition to your table from the 
last of September until nearly mid winter.

Catskill Brussels Sprouts 
CHINESE CABBAGE also called “Celery Cabbage” 
An ounce of seed will sow 300 to 400 feet of row, a packet 30 feet. 
Forms tender crisp heads which are very delicious and can be served ina number of ways. The 
flavor somewhat resembles cabbage but is much more delicate. It is delicious when served as salad 
or slaw. The leaves may be cooked like spinach or the midrib alone used and served like asparagus. 
The seed should be sown not earlier than the first of July in rows 2% feet apart, and the plants 
thinned to 18 to 20 inches apart in the rows. If sown early it soon runs to seed and is useless. 
Matures in 8 to 10 weeks. 
CHIHLI. By Far The Best Variety. Heads earlier and more evenly than any other kind. The 
heads are pointed, very firm and when matured are often 18 inches long. They are 
pure white inside, tender and of finest quality. 
Chihli has now almost entirely superseded the older varieties as the attractive heads are more 
firm, and mature earlier. Our strain is very uniform and sure heading. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 45c; 14 Lb. $1.30; Lb. $4.00. 
COLLARDS

“The seeds I ordered from you produced wonderfully. I had a lovely garden, and in fact I won 
sa . first prize out of 125 gardens. I also got first prize at the exhibit. I felt so proud that I decided to 
Chihli Chinese Cabbage keep buying Harris’ Seeds.” Andrew Hookstra, Uxbridge, Mass. April 23, 1942.
