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 214 feet apart each way. 
The large center head develops first, and after this is cut, the plant 
forms numerous branch heads which can be used later. A few plants set 
in June will provide a continuous supply of this popular delicacy all 
through the season. 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. Calabrese. 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, and they are excellent for freezing. We recommend 
this stock most highly for both market and home gardeners.

Catskill Brussels Sprouts—The finest sprouts, and they’re easy to grow. 
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 uncertain crop because of the old varieties used. 
Now, however, the new Catskill 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 before. 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 im- : : 
proved it for several years, until now it is so much superior to all other kinds that Broccoli—Delightful flavor—wonderful fresh or frozen. 
there is no comparison. 
The plants are,dwarf and compact, and they 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.

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 tall and 3% to 4 in. thick. They are pure white inside, tender and 
of the 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. = Ss ne css
