An extremely early strain producing large heads ready for market ten days to two 
weeks ahead of Early Green Sprouting. Also furnishes a high percentage of side 
shoots or sprouts excellent for bunching or for freezing. Plants medium tall, light 
green in color, and very productive. Our stock of this strain has been carefully 
selected for uniformity and can be highly recommended as the earliest maturing 
strain of Broccoli obtainable.

Vigorous early type forming large compact central heads and very few laterals. 
First heads ready for market in about 70 days from planting under favorable

maturity about one week.
