BROCCOLI 
Spargelkohl Chou Brocoli Broculi Broccolo 
One pkt. is enough for a home garden; 1 oz. produces about 3000 plants 
Broccoli belongs to the cabbage family and is grown in much the same way. 
Sow the seeds thinly in the row as early as possible in the spring, and transplant 
the seedlings when they are 3 to 4 inches high. Leave about 2 feet between 
plants. Spray or dust for cabbage worms. Cut the flower head, which is the 
edible part of the plant, just as soon as it forms. 
De Rappa or Italian Turnip. An early type producing many small 
heads. For early spring or fall. 
Italian Green Sprouting (Calabrese). 70 days from setting plants. The 
most popular variety. If the head is cut promptly, the plant con- 
tinues to produce side heads for a period of eight to ten weeks. Deli- 
cate, tender quality and delicious flavor. This is one of the finest 
strains of Broccoli ever produced.

Italian Broccoli 
Good gardeners never wait 
too long before pulling their 
Beets. They are delicious if 
cooked when young and firm, 
but can be stringy and woody 
if they are left in the ground 
too long.
