bears a large quantity of rich, golden-yellow pods

killed by frost in the fall. The plant makes a quick, 
healthy growth, and, like the ‘‘ Kentucky Wonder,”’

CHINESE, OR 
CELERY CABBAGE. 
This vegetable is called Pe-Tsai, or Cut Cabbage, 
by the Chinese gardeners, and is beginning to attract 
attention in America. It does not form a cabbage- 
head, but when grown to its full size resembles the 
Cos Lettuce, and the outer leaves may be used during 
its growth. The flavor is mild, and it is used either 
as a salad or cooked. The plants require plenty of 
room, and should be set in rows 3 feet apart and 2 
feet apart in the row. Seed should be sown after 
July ist, as early plantings run to seed. Pkt., 10 
cts.; oz., 35 cts.; 4 Ib., $1.00. 
SMALL EXTRA EARLY 
JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 
This variety of Jersey Wakefield Cabbage matures earlier than 
the ordinary strain, and produces a firm, solid head; smaller, but 
of same conical shape as the original type. It is very hardy, 
and while the heads are small, the quality is fully equal to the 
well-known ‘Jersey Wakefield.’”? We consider this the best 
variety of extra early Cabbage for the home garden. Pkt., 10 
cts.; 0z., 45 cts.37 4 ]b., $1.25. 
DANISH ROUNDHEAD 
CABBAGE. 
While similar to the Danish Ballhead in size, shape and good 
keeping qualities, this variety matures earlier and has a shorter 
stem. The heads are round and hard, and having very few 
outer leaves will withstand hot weather and disease. ‘The in- 
terior leaves are pure white and ofsweet flavor. We furnish 
true seed which was grown for usin Denmark. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
oz., 35 cts.; 4 1b., $1.00. 
DREER’S 
PERFECT FORCINC CARROT. 
Introduced by us a few years ago, this variety of carrot has be- 
come quite popular, and each year shows an increasing demand 
for the seed. It is a fine, half-long variety, beautiful bright scar- 
let, transparent, crisp and almost without [a core. Remarkably 
small top, and can be planted very close in frame. It also does 
well grown in the open ground. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; $ 1b., 
$1.00; Ib., $3.50. 
WITLOOF CHICORY, or 
- FRENCH ENDIVE. 
During the winter this is sold by dealers in fancy fruits and 
vegetables as ** Hrench Hndive,’’ and large importations are usu- 
ally made in order to supply the demand in this country, but 
equally as good stalks may be grown here. In order to grow good 
“© Wiiloof’’ the seed should be sown during May or June in the 
open ground, in drills 10 or 12 inches apart, in deep, rich soil. 
Allow the plants to grow until November, keeping free from 
weeds, and watering if necessary. Then take up the roots and 
trim off the leaves to about 1} inches from the neck, break off any 
shoots which may appear on sides of root, and shorten lower end 
so that all will be of a uniform length of 8 to1Q inches. Then 
plant in a trench 16 to 18 ‘inches deep, placing the roots upright, 
about 14 inches apart. This will leave the necks of the roots 
about 8 inches below the level of the ground. Fill up the trench 
with good, light, well-drained soil, and, if speedy growth of any 
portion of the crop is desired, it may be accomplished by covering 
with a layer of manure at least 16 inches deep. In about 4 or 5 
weeks the leaves will attain their proper size, and the manure may 
be taken off and roots dug up. The blanched head is the edible 
portion, and should be cut off, leaving a portion of the neck at- 
tached to it. Witloof is eaten raw or as a salad, and is also some- 
times cooked like ordinary Endive. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 
4 Ib., 60 cts.; Ib., $1.75.
