BROCCOLI 
Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 40c; 4 ozs., $1.25. 
These types of green-sprouting Italian Broccoli re- 
semble a green-headed cauliflower. Small heads grow 
after the main head has been cut. 
Planting Instructions Like Cauliflower, a culti- 
vated variety of wild cabbage, grown for the sake of the 
head. Generally considered more hardy than Cauliflower. 
Seed is sown in frames early in spring. Culture same as 
Cauliflower. 
Italian Green Sprouting A distinct variety for 
the home garden. Plant forms a central head, fairly 
compact cluster of flower buds resembling cauliflower, 
except that it is green in color. This variety has be- 
come very popular not only because of its green color 
and greater vitamin content, but because there is less 
grief in its culture. Nevertheless, the same favorable 
soil and climate conditions favor the full development 
of sprouting broccoli. The seeds are usually planted 
indoors about ten weeks before planting in the spring, 
or sown in the open for a fall crop. The home gardener 
can well consider broccoli ahead of cauliflower, since 
he will find the tender leaves about the stem, as well 
as the secondary flower clusters which develop after 
the first cutting, a good substitute for other greens. 
Center head can be cut about sixty days after planting 
and smaller heads on side branches throughout the 
summer. Delicious and healthful. Days to maturity, 60.
