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 21% 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. 
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 
mild, pleasing flavor is relished by hosts of people, but “‘sprouts’’ have 
been considered difficult to grow. In the past, they were often an uncer- 
tain crop because of the old varieties used. Now, however, the new Cats- 
kill makes Brussels Sprouts exceptionally easy to grow. They are reliable 
and very profitable for market, and they make a delightful fall and winter 
vegetable for the home garden. 
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 of our 
introduction, anyone should be able to grow first 
class sprouts, even where they have never been able to grow them be- 
fore. Even under adverse conditions it will produce fine crops. 
For the foundation of our stock, we obtained the best private strain in 
the Catskill Mountain region, which is famous for its fine sprouts. We 
have developed and improved it for several years, until now it is so 
much superior to all other kinds that there is no comparison. 
The plants are of medium size and produce an abundance of large, 
firm, dark green sprouts of the finest quality. They are bigger and 
better and much easier to pick than the old kinds, and are the best for 
market and home use.

your extra pro- 
tection. 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 2% 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.
