BROCCOLI 
A Delicious, Easily Grown Vegetable! 
A packet will produce about 200 plants; an ounce about 2000. 
Many people who enjoy the delicious flavor of fresh or frozen broccoli 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 24% 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 provide a continuous supply 
throughout the season. Very profitable for market and roadside stands as the yield is 
large and broccoli nearly always sells for good prices. 
232 DeCICCO. The Earliest Good Broccoli. Broccoli has become such a popular 
vegetable that this early strain will be a welcome addition to most gardens. It is 
ready to eat a week or ten days ahead of Italian Green Sprouting, and the sturdy, 
light green plants produce good big center heads and quantities of side shoots that are 
delicious, fresh and adapted for freezing. DeCicco has proved to be the earliest 
strain of any real value yet developed.

CHINESE CABBAGE 
Also called ‘“‘Celery Cabbage” 
An ounce of seed will sow 300 to 400 feet of row, a packet 30 feet. 
The flavor of Chinese Cabbage is somewhat like the regular kinds but 
is much more delicate and the tender crisp heads make delicious salad or 
coleslaw. The leaves may be cooked separately like spinach or the midribs 
alone used and served like asparagus. 
If sown early it runs to seed, so do not plant before the first of July. 
Plant in the open ground in rows 2% ft. apart and thin to 18 in. in the row. 
Ready to cut in 8 to 10 weeks and will store well for a month or two. 
The Best Variety. Heads earlier and more evenly 
248 CHIHLI. than any other kind. The heads are cylindrical, 
pointed, very firm and when matured are often 18 inches tall and 344 
to 4 in. thick. They are pure white inside, tender and of the finest 
quality. Our strain is very uniform and sure heading, the best obtain- 
able for market and roadside stands, and most popular for home 
gardens.

Catskill Brussels Sprouts —The finest sprouts and they’re easy to grow. : ed ei 4 
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. F 
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 strain of our introduction, any- 
one 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 
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. 
Pkt. 25c; 144 Oz. 90c; 14 Oz. $1.65; Oz. $3.00; 14 Lb. $10.00.
