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

 than two feet apart each way. It succeeds everywhere, 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 pkts., $1.00; I oz., $2.50; oz., $5.00 ; £ lb. , $16.00.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



A. Miniature Cabbage Growing on Stalks, Equal to 

 Cauliflower in Flavor 



If more widely known, the Brussels Sprout would be as 

 popular as it is valuable; few people appreciate its full worth 

 as a Winter vegetable. 

 It is hardier than cab- 

 bage and not the least 

 affected bv frost.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



CHICORY 



The roots dug in the Fall, dried, cut in thin slices, roasted 

 and ground, are used largely as a substitute for coffee. The 

 leaves make a good Spring salad. 



LARGE ROOTED, or COFFEE. The chicory of 

 commerce; the best. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 20c; lb., 60c. 



CHIVES 



Chives are very 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 Roots, per bunch, 25c by mail, postpaid. 



COLLARDS (COLEWORT) 



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

 the country, especially South. They are a form of the cab- 

 bage, bearing new leaves as the old ones are pulled off.

Market Gardeners, Farmers' Clubs and Institutes 



Wanting to purchase seeds in unusually 

 large quantities should write for special 



prices. Although we have made prices very low in this catalogue, yet, where a number of pounds or 

 bushels are wanted, we can frequently supply at a lower price than by the single pound or bushel. In 

 writing, give us a list of quantities and varieties required, and we will return list promptly with our 

 Lowest Cash Price for the lot.
