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.

For early crops of early varieties, seed may be sown inside from February 15th to March 15th. For the 
main crop, the seed should be sown in the open April 15th to May 15th. Transplanting distances should vary 
from 18 to 24 inches in the row, depending on the size of the mature heads.

Rows should be 30 to 36 inches 
The green cabbage worms and aphids can do a lot of damage to cabbage but fortunately the worms are easily 
killed by DDT. Parathion dust will give excellent control of aphids and satisfactory control of cabbage worms. 
You need not worry about DDT poisoning if the outside leaves are removed from the head as the cabbage head 
develops from the inside. 
EARLY CABBAGE VARIETIES 
These varieties are suitable for the home garden, 
market garden and early shipping. The heads are 
small and yield in tons per acre light when compared 
with the midseason varieties. Special Golden Acre is a 
choice strain of this early variety developed by the 
originator of Golden Acre. Robson Early Copenhagen 
Market has been bred for earliness, uniformity and 
quality. We especially recommend Green Acre as a 
second-early market variety. The foliage is darker 
and the heads hold in market condition longer than 
Golden Acre. 
Ferry s Round Dutch has the darkest foliage of any 
of the early varieties and is becoming more and more 
popular as a second early variety. We also recommend 
your trying the new Wisconsin Copenhagen listed 
under Yellows Resistant Cabbage. 
641 SPECIAL GOLDEN ACRE: 63 days. A special 
selected early strain of Golden Acre that is bred to 
meet the demands of the most particular market 
garden trade. NHeads are very uniform in size, shape 
and time of maturity. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 45c; oz. 60c;

growth. Valuable for shipping because of its fresh 
appearance when marketed. Pkt. l5c; % oz. 45c;
