an ounce about 2000. 
This delicious vegetable is very easy to grow—simply sow the seed in the open 
ground in May and when the plants are large enough, transplant into the garden 
about 21% feet apart each way. The large center head develops first, and after this 
is cut, the plant forms numerous branch heads which can be used later, providing a 
continuous supply throughout the season. Very profitable for market and roadside 
stands as the yield is large and broccoli nearly always sells for good prices.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 250 plants, an oz. 3000 
Before we introduced our Catskill strain, ‘“Sprouts’’ were considered 
hard to grow, but now they are as dependable and simple as late cab- 
bage to produce, very profitable for market and a delightful fall and 
winter vegetable for the home garden. 
The plants are set out like cabbage and the sprouts that grow on the 
stem picked off as wanted. Sprouts are of better quality after having 
been frozen, so the plants may be left in the open ground until nearly 
December in the North and all winter south of New Jersey. If the 
plants are pulled and stored in a cool, not too dry place, you can have 
delicious sprouts for weeks longer. 
236 CATSKILL. The Best Variety. 
90 days. To enjoy the unusual, delicate flavor of Brussels Sprouts 
plant Catskill, for this strain of our introduction will produce first class 
sprouts even when other varieties fail. It was developed by us from 
the best private strain in the Catskill Mountain region, which is famous 
for its fine sprouts and we have selected and improved it for years, 
until now it is far superior to any other kind. 
The plants are dwarf and compact, and they produce an abun- 
dance of large, firm, dark green sprouts of the finest quality. They are 
bigger and better and much easier to pick than the old kinds, and are 
the best for market and home use.

slaw. The leaves may be cooked separately like spinach or the midribs

tive heads sell readily and home gardeners appreciate its wonderful
