If started in greenhouse or hot bed April Ist and 
transplanted into open ground, broccoli will be ready 
for use the first week in July. Later plantings can be 
made in the open ground and either transplanted or 
thinned to 24 inches in the row. Rows should be 3 feet 
apart. Some seasons aphids are rather troublesome, 
especially on early crops. We think best quality heads 
are produced from seed sown about June Ist. 
*ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING (Calabrese): 60 
days. Plants are 3 to 4 feet high and branched. After 
the central head is removed, a number of smaller 
heads are produced on stems 4 to 5 inches in length. ° 
If kept cut, the plants will continue to produce for 
five or six weeks. Pkt. 15 cts.; % oz. 45 cts.;

*xLONG ISLAND IMPROVED DWARF: 95 days. 
We have found this strain very desirable because it 
will produce sprouts under less favorable conditions 
than other varieties. The plants are of dwarf habit 
but furnish a large yield of sprouts of excellent 
quality. Light freezes seem to improve the quality.

To produce long smooth carrots, the soil must be 
loose, free from stones and hard lumps, and worked 
deep. Carrot seed is small and should be sown shallow. 
preferably after a rain. Sow thinly as the carrots 
should be thinned to 2 to 3 inches. Carrots may be 
sown from early in the spring to July 15th.

kets where quality counts. we recommend Nantes.
