EARLY SPROUTING ITALIAN BROCCOLI 
EARLY SPROUTING ITALIAN 
This tall branching plant forms a compact central head of bluish green flower 
buds resembling a loose head of cauliflower. When the central head is removed, 
small heads on offset branches develop throughout the season. The small 
heads with stems are cut off and served in the same way as asparagus. For 
early use, sow in hot bed or seed may be sown out of doors in May. Set the 
plants about 18 inches apart in rows 21% feet apart. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
A packet will produce about 200 plants; an ounce about 3000. 
Grow and cultivate the same as cabbage, except that the leaves should be broken off the stem in 
the fall which gives the little heads more room to grow. The small heads are the edible part and are 
more tender and delicious than cabbage. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED—Semi Dwarf—Our own selected and greatly 
improved strain of Brussel Sprouts. The solid sprouts wind in perfect spirals 
around the semi-dwarf stem. Quality unequalled in any other type. 
CABBAGE 
A packet will produce about 200 plants; an ounce about 2000 plants; four ounces 
will produce plants for an acre. Set plants 18 inches apart in rows 2 to 2!4 feet 
apart. 
For early cabbage in Northern localities, plants may be started indoors or under glass in February 
or March. They should be spaced three inches apart each way when pricked out into boxes and 
should be gradually hardened by exposure to cooler outdoor conditions. They may be transplanted 
in the open as soon as the ground can be properly prepared. Medium Early, Late Autumn and 
Winter varieties may be sown outside and the plants transplated as soon as large enough. For 
many years we have devoted special care to the production of cabbage. We feel justly proud of the 
record our seed has made.
