Broccoli 
A packet will produce about 200 plants; 1 ounce about 2083 plants; 4 ounces per aére. 
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. When the plants are large enough, transplant into the gar- 
den about 214 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. 
270 Italian Green Sprouting Calabrese 
Phe, 15: 46 02, 85€3.02., 00C: Va at oleeo 
(70 days.) The Best Heading Kind. This special strain is by far the best 
we have ever seen. It is sure-heading and uniform, each plant producing 
a large center head and many side shoots. The heads are compact, urm 
and of the highest quality, and they are excellent for freezing. We recom- 
mend this stock most highly for both market and home gardeners. 
271 De Cicco Pkt., 20c; % 0z., 50c; 02z., 90c; % 1b., $2.50; 1b., $7.50 
(60 days.) New early variety. See page 3. 
Brussels Sprouts 
A packet will produce about 300 plants; 1 ounce about 3000 plants; 
one-fourth pound will plant an acre. 
Culture similar to that of late Cabbage. Sow outdoors from May 1 to 
June 1, and transplant in 5 to 6 weeks or thin to stand 2 by 3 feet apart. 
275 Long Island Improved Pit., 15c; 1% 02z., 45c; 0z., 80c; % Ib., $3.00 
(90 days.) Plants dwarf and compact; 20 inches tall; very uniform. Stems 
are covered with firm, round Cabbage-like balls, 114 inches in diam- 
eter, which mature in succession. 
Cabbage 
One ounce of seed produces about 1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground or 3000 
plants if sown in frame; a packet about 250 plants; 4 to 6 ounces will produce 
plants for an acre. 
For early harvest sow in flats under glass, 8 to 10 seeds per inch in 2-inch 
rows from February to March. Transplant in flats 2 by 2 inches when the 
first true leaves appear. Avoid crowding, drying out or over-watering. 
Harden off by gradual exposure and withhold watering a week or 10 days 
before setting in the field. Soak thoroughly just before transplanting. 
Set outside 14 to 18 inches by 24 inches apart as soon as ground can be 
prepared after danger of hard frost. When transplanting, the field soil 
should be slightly richer than the soil in which the seedling plants were 
grown. For later harvest sow at two-weeks intervals outdoors 5 to 6 weeks 
before transplanting in the field. 
If you want high quality and bigger crops, plant Holmes’ Cabbage seed. 
295 Golden Acre . Pkt. 10e: ¥o-0z:, 30c; 0z:, 5c; Y lb., $1.60 
(64 days.) This variety is a fine strain, round-headed Cabbage for early 
marketing and shipping. It is very profitable to grow. Plants are dwarf 
and compact, with few outer leaves, allowing very close planting. Our 
stock produces the finest type, and should be used where superior stock 
is desired. 
296 Golden Acre Special Pt., 15c; Y% 0z., 40c; oz., 75c; V4 1b., $2.20 
(62 days.) This selected strain is most valuable for earliness and uniform- 
ity, and in quickness to reach maturity. It proved distinctly superior to 
other strains maturing at the same time. We recommend it to growers 
who want the earliest and best. 
286 Copenhagen Market Pkt., 10c; % 0z., 30c; 02., 55c; 4 lb., $1.60 
(66 days.) This is a valuable, early, rounded-headed variety. It is ex- 
cellent for early market and shipping. Also valuable as an early variety 
for kraut. Plants are compact, stems short, and heads uniformly round, 
of high quality. 
292 Early Jersey Wakefield Pkt., 10c; % 02, 30c; 0z., 55c; %4 Ib., $1.40 
(62 days.) A standard early sort with pointed heads. Heads are of a 
fair size and very compact. Our strain is very early; practically all the 
plants produce heads of the correct shape and mature almost at the 
same time. 
294 Glory of Enkhuizen Pkt., 10c; ¥ 0z., 30c; 0z., 55c; % 1b., $1.50 
(77 days.) Heads large in size, round, solid, uniform in shape and ma- 
turity, of very good quality. The heads will range from 6 to 7 pounds 
in weight. This variety is popular for market and home use. One of 
the most desirable varieties for kraut. We offer a very fine strain of this 
Cabbage—none better.
