Early Snowball Cauliflower 
CHINESE CABBAGE 
Chinese or Celery Cabbage belongs to the cabbage family 
but more closely resembles lettuce. For best results plant 
the seed late in July or very early in August as spring plant- 
ings in this section are liable to bolt to seed. Plant the 
seed in the permanent bed and thin out to stand 12 to 15 
inches apart. 
Pe-T sai Wong-Bok The finest Chinese Cabbage in 
existence. The heads are large, 
compact and the crisp, tender interior blanches to a creamy 
white. It will stand long before bolting to seed and is not 
injured by light frosts. 
CAULIFLOWER 
1 ounce to 2,000 plants. 
For an early crop sow the seed either indoors or in a hot- 
bed in January or February, transplanting them to 2 or 3 
inches apart, thus allowing the plants to put forth a vigor- 
ous growth before being set in the permanent rows. 
As soon as danger of freezing is over, set the plants in the 
open ground in rows 2% to 8 feet apart and 18 inches apart 
in the row. Cultivate often and thoroughly. For fall crop 
sow the seeds during April or May. It is well to plan so 
that the early crop heads before very hot weather and the 
late crop matures after hot weather. 
The best early variety in cultiva- 
Early Snowball tion. If planted March 1st, large 
heads will be produced early in June, and scarcely a single 
plant will fail to form a head.
