This 18 not only the 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 lesa 

 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,

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.

 commerce; the best. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; h^^h , 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. Boots, 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-
