BROCCOLI 
A Delicious, Easily Grown Vegetable! 
A packet will produce about 200 plants; an ounce about 2000. 
Almost everyone is now familiar with this delicious vegetable, but most people do not 
realize how easy it is to grow. Simply sow the seed in the open ground in May and when 
the plants are large enough, transplant into the garden about 2% feet apart each way. 
The larger center “head” is cut out when ready to use and the plant will then form 
numerous branch heads which can be used later, so a continuous supply may be had for a 
long time. A few plants set in June will give sufficient of this very popular delicacy for a 
medium sized family. Sprouting Broccoli is a very profitable crop both for market and 
roadside stands. The yield is large and broccoli always sells for good prices. 
Note: If a large center head is not desired (as for bunching) seed may be sown directly in 
rows 214 to 3 feet gpart and the plants thinned 3 to 6 inches apart. This will produce a great 
number of small center heads and side shoots for bunching. Sow from the middle of May 
until the last of June. ; 
230 ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING. True Calabrese Strain. The Best Heading Kind. 
Our special strain of Broccoli is by far the best we have ever seen. It is early, sure-heading 
and uniform, each plant producing a large center head and many side shoots. The heads 
are compact, firm and of the highest quality. We recommend it most highly for both 
market and home gardeners.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
One ounce of seed will produce about 3000 plants, a packet 300 plants. 
This delicious vegetable has long been a favorite table delicacy. The 
delicate flavor is relished by hosts of people, but “‘sprouts’” have been 
considered difficult to grow. Brussels Sprouts are easy to grow, the trouble 
has been more with the varieties used than with the growers. With the 
fine strain we offer, anyone should be able to grow first class sprouts. 
The plants are set out like cabbage and the sprouts that grow on the 
stem picked off as wanted. Sprouts are of better quality after having been 
frozen, so the plants may be left in the open ground until nearly December 
in the North and all winter south of New Jersey. If the plants are pulled 
and stored in a cool, not too dry place, you can have delicious sprouts 
for weeks longer. 
236 CATSKILL. The Best Variety. With this new strain, both 
home and market gardeners can obtain fine 
Brussels Sprouts where they have never been able to grow them before. 
It was developed by Mr. Arthur White of Arkville, N. Y. and is con- 
sidered the best strain of the Catskill mountain region where the finest 
Brussels Sprouts in the country are grown. Even under adverse 
conditions, it will produce large crops of fine sprouts. 
The plants are of medium size and produce an abundance of fine, 
firm, dark green sprouts of the finest quality. They sell for highest 
prices on the market or will make a welcome addition to your table 
from the last of September until nearly midwinter.

CHINESE CABBAGE 
Also called “‘Celery Cabbage”’ 
An ounce of seed will sow 300 to 400 feet of row, a packet 30 feet. 
Forms tender crisp heads which are very delicious and can be served in a number of ways. The 
flavor somewhat resembles cabbage, but is much more delicate. It is delicious when served as salad 
or slaw. The leaves may be cooked like spinach or the midrib alone used and served like asparagus. 
The seed should be sown not earlier than the first of July in rows 24% feet apart, and the plants 
thinned to 18 to 20 inches apart in the rows. If sown early it soon runs to seed and is useless. 
Matures in 8 to 10 weeks. 
248 CHIHLI The Best Variety. Heads earlier and more evenly than any other kind. The 
* heads are cylindrical, pointed, very firm and when matured are often 18 inches 
long. They are pure white inside, tender and of finest quality. 
Chihli has now almost entirely superseded the older varieties as the attractive heads are 
more firm, and mature earlier. Our strain is very uniform and sure heading.
