90 BROCCOLI 
This is the GREEN CALABRESE, best of the Italian 
Sprouting Broceolis that are now so much in demand. 
Think about everyone knows what it is like, how good it is. 
Culture of the easiest, just sow seed in rows in fairly early 
spring, thinning plants later to stand six to eight inches 
apart. This method will give great masses of Asparagus- 
like shoots, each ending in a little green ‘Cauliflower’ 
head. If one big center head is desired, with just a 
garnishing of side sprouts, then start in beds, as one 
would Cabbage, transplanting to 18 inches apart. May also 
be sown in late summer for a fall crop. Pkt. 15c; 14 oz.

sprouts that resemble Broccoli in miniature. These are cut 
when about six inches long, cooked as Broccoli, and flavor 
is like to that of Broccoli, but they come on much earlier. 
The leaves also can be cooked, much as one would Turnip 
greens. Sow seed in late summer or early fall for next 
spring cutting. Pkt. 10c; 3 pks. for 25c.

leaves when sprouts form. Considered best after first 
frosts. Culture that of Cabbage. This is the variety LONG
