EARLIEST OF ALL 

 EASIEST GROWN 

 SUREST HEADER 



This is not only tiie earliest, but is the finest cauliflower in the world, and it is so pronounced by 

 all growers who have had it. It is of very dwarf, erect habit, with short outer leaves. Can be planted 

 lees than two feet apart each way. It is a sure header, every plant forming a large, solid, perfect 

 head, of the finest table quality. Our seed of the Early Alabaster is American grown, thoroughly 

 acclimated, and from it a crop of cauliflower can be grown as easily as a crop of cabbage, and with 

 greater profit. Pkt., 25c ; 5 pkte., $1.00; h oz., $2.50; oz., $5.00; i lb., $16,00.

Chives are i^ry hardy and perennial members of the 

 onion family. They are grown exclusively for their tops. 

 Planted in clumps in any garden soil, they grow readily, 

 and increase so as to render a division necessary. The tops 

 appear very early in spring, and can be cut throughout the 

 season. Boots, per bunch, 25c. by mail, postpaid. 



/ COLLARDS (COLEWORT) 



Collards are largely used as "greens" in some parts of

NEW FRENCH MARKET CARROT 



We were the first to import seed and offer for sale in 

 America this beautiful new and distinct French carrot. The 

 form as shown in our photograph above is much handsomer 

 than Danvers. This, with its better color, makes it much 

 more attractive, never becoming ringed or rooty. It is also 

 entirely free from core, the flesh being tender and sweet 

 throughout. A very heavy cropper and a great keeper, 

 holding its fine color all through the winter, coming out of 

 the pits as bright and fresh as when first dug. Pkt., 5c ; oz 

 1.5c.; J4 lb., 40c.; lb., 81.25.
