Archive image from page 15 of Descriptive catalog of vegetables [for. Descriptive catalog of vegetables [for canning and freezing] descriptivecata1949asso_0 Year: 1949 12 ASSOCIATED SEED GROWERS. INC, BROCCOLI Days DE CICCO 80 A second early type suitable for summer and early fall harvest along Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in Pacific Northwest. Produces a large center head, which may be somewhat loose and of variable color, followed by a good yield of shoots. Useful for freezing and the fresh market. EARLY (Calabrese) 70 An early variety, widely used for canning and quick freezing, but not adapted to California. The compact bluish-green head is followed by many small shoots. FREEZERS' 75 For commercial quick-freezing. Many individual sprouts with small heads are formed, but are not concentrated into a central head, thus providing more suit- able freezing material and facilitating picking and packing. LATE 150 A very late strain for spring harvesting on the Pacific Coast. Produces large central head but few side shoots. MEDIUM The principal variety for freezing in southwestern states. Plant vigorous, pro- ducing a large, attractive compact center head, followed by a high yield of side shoots suitable for freezing. Generally grown for harvesting during late fall and winter months, cutting over a relatively long season. 95 MIDWAY 85 As the name implies, this strain matures between the first early group and Medium. Plant and head characteristics similar to De Cicco, but Midway is slower to flower and is therefore better adapted for early fall harvest in the southwestern areas. Plant smaller than Medium with less vigorous side shoot development. BRUSSELS SPROUTS HALF-DWARF IMPROVED 70 Plant 22'-26' tall; stems thickly set, with firm cabbage-like balls about V/2' diameter, maturing successively. Suitable for quick freezing.
