Watering Seeds: 
To make small seeds grow surer, make shallow drills and sow in; 
caver up slightly; place laths between the rows and old newspapers over them, and 
some sticks on the papers to keep it in place; water on the paper and take the paper 
away as soon as the seeds are up.—F. H. W., Lake Constance, Minn. 

Broccoli 
A vegetable very similar to Cauliflower but less deli- 
cate in flavor. Hardy, thrives best in cool weather and 
should be hoed and watered frequently. Sow the seed 
inside or in cold frames in January or February and set 
out plants when ground is warm. A large bluish green 
flower bud head forms in the center. After this is 
removed, small heads are produced on side branches 
Cultivate same as Cauliflower. A package of seed will 
make about 350 plants. An ounce, 3000. 
x Italian Green Sprouting Calabrese. A favorite

orm, providing fresh vegetables for a long season.

Italian Green Sprouting 
Calabrese Broccoli 
Brussels Sprouts 
The small heads, resembling Cabbage, are formed 
along the stalk. Prepare like Cabbage or in cream, 
like Cauliflower. Sow seed in spring; transplant and 
cultivate same as Cabbage, except leaves should be 
broken down in fall, giving heads more room to grow. 
Freezing improves the quality of the sprouts. They 
may be left in the ground, here in the North, until 
December. One package of seed will produce 350 
plants; one ounce, 3500 plants.

The seeds | purchased 
from you last year gave 
me excellent results, es- 
pecially the Sebago Po- 
tatoes, Tendersweet Car- 
rots, Longreen Beans, and 
Brittle Wax Beans. | had 
the largest and tenderest 
Beans | have ever raised 
and | raised Tendersweet 
Carrots which were still 
in the ground when frost 
came and when pulled 
showed at least half of 
the crop to be about 9 
inches long and many 
were 3 inches in diameter 
at the top. The best part 
is that the flavor and 
tenderness was unim- 
paired. 
| hope to have as good 
luck this year with the 
same types.
