 the eatable parts, and are generally used in soups or stews, 

 after being blanched in the same manner as Celery.

Blumen-Kohl, Gee. Chou-Fleur, Fr. CoUflor, Sp. 



Sow for early use about the middle of September or October, in a bed of clean rich earth. Transplant in frames 

 and cover with sashes and shutters during severe weather, giving them light and air every mild day. When this is 

 not practicable, they may be had nearly as well, by sowing the seed in a hot-bed in January or February, and wheii 

 the plants are large enough transplant 3 inches apart in boxes or in another hot-bed, until time to plant, out. If 

 hardened off', they are seldom injured by planting out, as early as the ground can be ]>roperly prepared, 2i feet apart 

 each way. Keep them well hoed, and bring the earth gradually up to their stems, watering freely in dry weather, 

 and especially when they begin to head. The Cauliflower succeeds best when planted in frames at the close of winter, 

 and brought to maturity before the summer heat sets in. The late varieties mature in the autumn, and ai-e sown and 

 managed similarly to winter Cabbage. 



Dreer's Earliest Snow-Storm. The earliest and best 

 of all for forcing. It is dwarf, with short outer leaves, 

 and can be planted 2 feet apart each way ; always sure 

 to make large fine heads earlier than any other, and 

 is the market gardener's favorite. This variety must 

 be kept growing constantly, as it will not stand 

 a check at any period of its growth. 

 Pkt. 25 cts., oz. S6.00. 



Dreer's Selected Dwarf Erfurt. One of the earliest 

 in cultivation, small-leaved dwarf, for forcing ©r open 

 groutid, producing very solid pure-white heads of the 

 finest quality; about 15 inches high. 

 Pkt. 25 cts., oz. $4.00. 



Early DAvarf Erfurt. A favorite early market variety, 

 very productive, with large, white, compact heads of 

 good quality. Pkt. 20 cts., oz. $1.50.
