KILGORE’S BRED-RITE ITALIAN GREEN SPROUT- 
ING OR CALABRESE. (60 days from setting out plants 
to edible stage.) This is the true Calabrese type which is a 
tremendous yielder. In Florida, seed may be planted in seed- 
beds from September to January. Plants should be set in rows 
3 feet apart, and 1% to 2 feet apart in the row. Similar to cauli- 
flower, but more hardy, and the so-called head is bluish-green 
instead of white. When the main head is cut, thick stems form 
at the base of each leaf on the stalk below. At the end of each 
branch a medium-sized green head develops. These small 
heads should be cut with 6 to 8 inches of stem, and tied in 
bunches for market. Stems, as well as flower-heads, are cooked 
and served like asparagus or cauliflower. A most delicious 
and nutritious vegetable.
