GREEN SPROUTING, EARLY STRAIN..4... ee 70 
(F-M) Second early type forming large compact central heads and very few 
laterals. Plants medium tall; attractive dark bluish-green color. 
GREEN SPROUTING, EARLY MEDIUM STRAIN:~ (3 80 
(F-M) Plant type and foliage color are practically the same as our well known 
Medium Strain, but is a few days earlier, This strain makes compact central 
heads with less surrounding leaves and produces less laterals than our 
Medium Strain. The formation of central head is a little different, the sub- 
shoots forming the head are longer and can be more easily divided for freez- 
ing or bunching, 
GREEN SPROUTING, MEDIUM STRAIN............ 3 90 
(F-M) A vigorous mid-season variety producing compact central heads anda prolific 
crop of laterals. Is about 3 weeks later than the Early Strain and is too 
late for use in the Northern and Eastern States. This strain is used very 
extensively on the Pacific Coast for both shipping and freezing. When lateral 
shoots are the principal product desired, the central head can be removed at 
an early stage and an abundant crop of laterals will be produced. 
GREEN SPROUTING, LATE STRAIN....2................. 150 
(F-M) Very late variety producing central heads of excellent quality but practically 
no side shoots. Planted in California in fall for early spring cutting and has 
the same possibilities along the South Atlantic Coast. Too late to be useful 
in Northern States.
