Descriptive catalog of vegetables . descriptivecatal1949asso Year: 1949 BREEDERS AND GROWERS. 23 BROCCOLI Sprouting or Italian type Brassica oleracea var. italica 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 The first early variety for home or market gardens and for processing; widely adapted, but not 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 m . ; 150 A very late strain for spring harvesting on the Pacific Coast. Produces large central head but few side shoots. MEDIUM 95 The principal variety for shipping and freezing in southwestern states. Plant vigorous, producing a large, attractive compact center head, followed by a high yield of side shoots suitable for freezing or bunching for fresh market. Generally grown for harvesting during late fall and winter months, cutting over a relatively long season. 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. Broccoli Rab (Italian Turnip) For description see listing under Turnip (page 93).
