If started in greenhouse or hot bed April Ist and 
transplanted into open ground, broccoli will be ready 
for use the first week in July. Later plantings can be 
made in the open ground and either transplanted or 
thinned to 24 inches in the row. Rows should be 3 feet 
apart. Some seasons aphids are rather troublesome, 
especially on early crops. We think best quality heads 
are produced from seed sown about June Ist. 
DeCicco is reported to be especially desirable for 
quick freezing. The center head should be cut out 
early. If this is done the side branches will develop 
larger and more uniform heads. You will have to 
watch broccoli for cabbage worms. These can be con- 
trolled by the use of DDT before the plants head, and 
Rotenone from then on. 
120 DeCICCO: 60 days. Plants medium tall, light 
green and very productive. Heads _ cylindrical, 
compact, many formed on side branches. Pkt.

Turnip rooted celery is an old vegetable but not 
too well known except among certain groups of our 
population. Celeriac is easy to grow. The bulb- 
like roots are diced, boiled and served with white sauce. 
The culture is the same as for celery and it has the 
same nut like flavor.

in diameter, globular, fairly smooth, stalks hollow, 
dark green. Pkt. 15 cts.; 14 oz. 40 cts.; oz. 75

“We've eaten our first frozen corn-on-the-cob—good old Seneca 
Chief and it tastes even sweeter than fresh. We had a good corn 
season. The Seneca Chief made a big hit. Please save us seed 
for next year.” 
November 29, 1946 Mrs. Niles M. Davies 
Congers, N. Y. 

More and more gardeners are finding how easy it is to grow broccoli 
and how good it is to eat. Also, broccoli is one of the most satis- 
factory vegetables for home freezing. It really seems to taste 
better out of the locker than fresh from the garden.

A loose-leaved plant of the cabbage family used for 
greens. Very popular in the South. Can be used late 
in the season; frost improves quality. We suggest that 
only the tender center leaves be used, although the 
whole plant is fairly edible. Sow in 36 inch rows. 
Thin to 15 inches. Use DDT or Rotenone for worms 
and thrips. 
*165 GEORGIA: 90 days. Plant 2 to 3 ft. tall, 
erect and spreading. Forms a loose head of tender 
leaves. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 4% lb. 35 cts.; lb. 
$1.00. 
THE COVER PICTURES 

Seneca Chief is our newest hybrid corn. 
Everyone who has eaten 
it remarks “It is the best{isweet corn I have ever tasted’. We 
think Seneca Chief merits a place on the cover along with Barbara 
who is one of the local high school girls who helped us on the farms 
last Summer. 
The flower garden is one of the finest in Penn Yan, N. Y., and 
compliments the beautiful old brick mansion in the background. 
Mrs. William Fox, the owner, very graciously posed for the pic- 
ture. This, we feel, adds a personal touch that will be appreciated 
by all garden lovers.
