Italian-Propageno Early Strain Broccoli
This is a very fancy strain of Italian Broccoli, having a main head, and smaller heads appearing after the main head has been removed. The Propageno strain is earlier than the Calabrese as usually sold, and produces larger heads, is a proflic yielder of the best quality. We are supplying this strain to very large growers with entire satisfaction. A very useful variety recently introduced from Europe and rapidly becoming popular. The plants are rapid growing and produce a large head at center of plant in about 90 days from date of planting. The head is a compact cluster of tightly closed flower buds and resembles Cauliflower only in shape or formation as the color is dull bluish green.
