A typical head of Early Green Sprouting Broccoli 
BROCCOLI 
Sow 14 to 4 pound in seedbed to plant an acre. 
In the garden plant 1 packet to 40 feet of row, or sow 1 packet 
in seedbed for 25 plants to set 40 feet of row for a family 
of 3 or 4 people. 
Culture. In Florida, seed may be planted in seedbeds from 
September to January. Plants should be set in rows 3 feet 
apart, and 11% to 2 feet apart in the row. When the main 
head is cut, thick stems form at the base of leaves on the stalk 
below. At the end of each branch a medium-sized green head 
develops. These small heads should be cut with 4 to 5 inches 
of stem, and tied in bunches for market. 
EARLY GREEN SPROUTING OR CALABRESE. (55 days 
from plants.) This is the old standard extremely early variety 
of Broccoli which produces tall, erect, bushy plants, with an 
attractive dark, bluish-green color to the head. Forms a large, 
compact central head. After the central head is cut the side 
shoots send out small heads over a long season. The heads are 
not as solid or firm as DeCicco, but the color is a better, deeper 
green. An exceptionally high yielder in our trials, consistently 
producing higher yields than other strains of Broccoli. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 02. 20c; 02. 35c; 14 Ib. $1.00; 1 Ib. $3.50 
5 to 25 Ibs. $3.40 per Ib. 
DeCICCO. (60 days from plants.) This is an early high yield- 
ing strain. The center head is small and not as large as with 
green sprouting strains, but DeCicco makes a higher percentage 
of side shoots or sprouts, which are excellent for freezing. The 
side shoot heads are very compact or firm and of best texture; 
the color is a light grayish green. DeCicco stands cold and 
heat better, and is a tougher growing type than other varieties. 
Our stock of this strain has been carefully selected for uni- 
formity. Plants are medium tall and light green in color. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 02. 20c; 02. 35c; %4 Ib. $1.00; 1 Ib. $3.50 
5 to 25 Ibs. $3.40 per Ib. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Sow 14 pound in seedbed to plant an acre.

Culture. Sow seed and cultivate exactly the same as cabbage. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED. (90 days from setting out 
plants.) Plants grow to a height of about two feet. Stems are 
thickly set with small, firm, cabbage-like heads, 114 inches 
in diameter, maturing small heads successively. Cooked and 
served like cabbage, and are much more delicate in flavor than 
cabbage. 
Pkt. 10c; 4 02. 25c; 02z. 45c; 14 Ib. $1.40; 1 Ib. $5.00
