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 2% 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 is 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 
real value yet developed.

230 ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING. Calabrese. The Best Heading Kind. This 
special strain is by far the best we have ever seen. [t is sure-heading and uniform, 
each plant producing a large center head and many side shoots. The heads are com- 
pact, firm and of the highest quality, and they are excellent for freezing. We 
recommend this stock most highly for both market and home gardeners.

EARLY BROCCOLI PLANTS—Greenhouse-grown and __ trans- 
planted. Ready about April 25th. See page 74. 
CHINESE or CELERY CABBAGE 
An ounce of seed will sow 300 to 400 feet of row, a packet 30 feet. 

The flavor of Chinese Cabbage is more delicate than regular cabbage 
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 24% ft. apart and thin to 18 in. 
282 MICHIHLI. Superior New Strain. Greater uniformity, de- 
pendability and better color make this new 
variety the best in Chinese Cabbage. It is early and heads more evenly 
than the old kinds and the dark green leaves are most attractive. The 
long upright heads blanch pure white inside, and they are tender 
and of the finest quality. For market growers on muck and upland, and 
for home use, we recommend Michihli. 
Pkt. 15c; 44 Oz. 40c; Oz. 75c; 14 Lb. $2.20; 1 Lb. $6.85. 


248 CHIHLI. The Standard Long Variety. The heads are upright, 
cylindrical, often 18 in. tall and 3 or 4 in. thick. The same sure-heading

This delicious vegetable has long been a favorite, but “‘sprouts”’ in 
the past were often an uncertain crop because of the old varieties used. 
Now, however, our Catskill strain makes Brussels Sprouts reliable, very 
profitable for market, and 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 strain of our intro- 
duction, anyone should be able to grow first class 
sprouts, even where they have never been able to grow them before. 
Catskill was developed by us from the best private strain in the Catskill 
Mountain region, which is famous for its fine sprouts. We have selected 
and improved 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. 25¢e; 14 Oz. 75ce; 4% Oz. $1.30; Oz. $2.45; 14 Lb. $8.25; Lb. $28.00. 

* All our Brussels Sprouts Seed is Hot Water Treated Michihli—Joe Harris believes this to be a real advance.
