For many centuries the soy bean has been an impor- 
tant food of Northern China. The soy bean is high 
in protein and makes an excellent substitute for meat. 
During the past few years edible varieties have been 
developed suitable for our climate and taste. Edible 
soy beans are shelled and cooked as green beans in 
same manner as limas. Soaking the pods for a few 
minutes in boiling water makes shelling much easier.

Broccoli is one of the easiest crops to grow. It is at its peak of 
quality late in the season. If you don’t want to bother with 
plants, just sow the seed in a row and thin out the plants. As 
soon as the center buds are ready for the table cut them. This 
will cause the plants to branch and form more heads. 
BROCCOLI 
Vitamins Ab CG 
Pkt. should produce 150 plants 
1 oz. should produce 2,000 plants 
Seed hot water treated 
If started in greenhouse or hot bed April Ist and 
transplanted into open ground, broccoli will be ready 
for use the first week in July. Later plantings can be 
made in the open ground and either transplanted or 
thinned to 24 inches in the row. Rows should be 3 feet 
apart. Some seasons aphids are rather troublesome, 
especially on early crops. We think best quality heads~ 
are produced from seed sown about June Ist. 
DeCicco is reported to be especially desirable for 
quick freezing. The center head should be cut out 
early. If this is done the side branches will develop 
larger and more uniform heads. You will have to 
watch broccoli for cabbage worms. These can be con- 
trolled by the use of DDT before the plants head, and 
Rotenone from then on.
