Vr 



Lonff Staiiflinsr, or New American 

 Kale. — This beautiful, deeply green, curled variety 

 combines two important features — hardy as the Si- 

 berian, and extra curled, like the well-known curled 

 Scotch. Superior to all other sorts and will stand 

 longer without shooting to seed than any other.

^■'Siberian.— Sometimes called "Sprouts" and 

 "Cerman Greens." In this variety the very large, 

 green leaves are comparatively plain in the centre,

 low, but spreading and ver)"- hardy. Pkg., 5c.; Jib., 

 .lOc; lb., 2oc. 



Caulifloi^er. 



3lutnenkohl. 



1 oz., 1500-3000 plants. 



The culture of Cauliflower is similar to Cabbage. It delights 

 in a rich, moist soil, and in dry seasons should be abundantly 

 watered, especially when heading. Sow seed in hot-bed in 

 January or February, and transplant the plants, two or three 

 inches apart, in boxes or in the open ground, which in this lati- 

 tude is usually done from the 15th of March to the 10th of ' 

 April. Set the plants two feet by fifteen inches apart. If i 

 properly hardened off they are seldom injured by planting out c 

 too early. When heading, tie the outside leaves loosely over - 

 the head to protect it from the sun. 



Early Snowball.— The best variety on the market. 

 If planted March 1, large heads will be produced early in 

 June, and scarcelj- a single head will fail to form. Its com- 

 pact habit renders it a very profitable variety to force under 

 glass, and it does well for late planting. Our stock cannot 

 be excelled in quality. Pkg., 25c.; oz., $2.00. 

 ^' Veltcli's Autumn Giant. — The heads are pearl 

 white, large, firm and compact, and being thoroughly pro- 

 tected by the foliage, remain longer fit for use. Pkg., 

 25c.; oz., 50c.; lb., $5.00. 



^ Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt. — The favorite Ger- 

 man variety, dwarf habit, compact growth, short outside 

 leaves. Pkg, 25c.; oz., $1.75. 



Brussels Sprouts 



Sow in May and manage as Winter 

 Cabbage. In the Fall the leaves 

 should be broken down so that the 

 little Cabbages will have more room 

 to grow. 



This is one of the most delicious of 

 all vegetables, and of easy growth. Pro- 

 duces on the stem small heads resem- 

 bling miniature cabbages. The sprouts 

 are used as greens and become very ten- 

 der when touched by the frost. Oz., 

 20c.; X lb., 60c. 



The stalks attain a height 

 of two feet and will produce 

 continually throughout the 

 season, the lower leaves be- 

 ing gathered for use before 

 they become old. The broad 

 leaves are light green with a smooth centre. The edges of 

 leaves are beautifully crimped and curled, the entire plant 

 being most distinct in character. It is very hardy and will 

 furnish a new growth of Sprouts of finest quality in the 

 early Spring About Baltimore it is sown in May and trans- 

 planted like cabbage. Oz., 15c.; % lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00.
