BROCCOLI ITALIAN GREEN 
SPROUTING. 
Pe Rees sprouting broccoli has been given 
new importance by the disclosure that 
because of its green coloring it is far richer 
in vitamins than white cauliflower, which it 
resembles in flavor. It takes rank as one of 
the protective foods, which defense author- 
ities urge shall be given precedence in Victory 
Gardens. It is also a much easier subject for 
the amateur than cauliflower, and has a much 
longer season of harvest. 
The type which has won greatest popularity 
produces a terminal head which may be cut, 
whereupon other heads are produced on lateral 
branches, which in turn may be harvested. 
Typical center heads are shown in the illustra- 
tion. It survives light frosts, and produces well 
in the cool autumn weather. 
*ltalian Green Sprouting (Calabrese). 
Matures in about 70 days. A selected strain of 
the most popular type from an Italian specialist 
who has bred it to a high standard of yield, flavor 
and tenderness. After its large center heads are 
harvested, smaller heads 2 inches in diameter 
form at the ends of lateral branches. It continues 
to bear for eight to ten weeks. Pkt., 25c; 4oz., 45c3

Pedigneed Cauliflower 
)EFORE war completely shut off communication with Denmark, where our finest strains 
of cauliflower were grown, we were able to import highly selected stock seeds with which 
to start production of the same strains in this country. Tests have shown the excellent 
quality of the Danish strains to be maintained in crops grown from the American seed, 
which is produced under climatic conditions similar to those of Denmark. 
Home gardeners will find cauliflower not difficult where conditions are right. When plants 
are set out in June or early July to mature in October, there is seldom any question of getting 
fine, large heads. Quantity needed for 150 plants, 1 pkt.; for 1,500 to 2,000 plants, 1 oz.
