CARROT. 



German, 3ftoef)re. French, Carote. 



For the successful cultivation of this root the soil should be light (sandy soil 

 is best) and deeply tilled. For an early crop the seed should be sown as early 

 as the ground can be properly worked. For later crops it may be sown anytime 

 until about the middle of June. Sow in rows about 15 inches apart. The seed 

 can be best sown by mixing it in moist sand. Keep down weeds. Thin out 

 young plants as soon as they can be handled, leaving them about four inches 

 apart.

LONG WHITE BELGIAN OARROT. 



CAULIFLOWER. 



German, SlumenfofjI. French, Choufleur. 



As recommended in Cabbage culture, the seed should be sown in February 

 or March in a hot bed, transplanting the plants, when large enough, into another 

 or the same frame, and gradually hardening them off, preparatory to planting 

 them out as early as the ground is in a fit condition. Any good garden soil, if 

 thoroughly cultivated and made very rich by manuring, will suit. Careful atten- 

 tion in the matter of watering, destroying insects and thorough cultivation, will 

 be repaid. 





EARLY SNOWBALL. 



Early Snowball (Extra Select) — The standard variety for the market 

 gardener or amateur. The seed we offer is grown for us by one of the 

 most reliable Cauliflower growers in Europe, and the great care taken 

 by him to keep it up to the highest standard is manifested in the supe- 

 riority of the crops grown from it every year. It is of dwarf, com- 

 pact habit, heads very large, compact, pure white and of the very best 

 quality. Not only is this the best early variety, but it is superior to all 

 others for fall use. Pkt, 25 cts.; oz., $3.00; 541b 89 00 



Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt (Extra Selected)— Dwarf and very solid, with 

 large, pure white heads, of very fine quality. Previous to the introduc- 

 tion of the Snowball this was the best variety for forcing, and the strain 

 we offer is superior to much of the so-called Snowball Cauliflower sold.
