CAULIFLOWER 



German. Blumentohl 



Spanish, Coliflor 



French, Choufleur 



One ounce will sow a bed of 40 square feet, and produce about 3,000 plants. 



CULTURE. — When grown to perfection this is a most delicious vegetable, and well repays generous treatment in culti- 

 vation. With a deep rich soil and an abundance of moisture, which in dry seasons must be applied artificially, Cauliflower 

 can be grown well. The cultivation is similar to that of the cabbage. For early fall crops sow in May, and transplant in 

 June, in rows of 4 feet apart, setting the plants 2 feet apart in the rows; water frequently if the ground is dry. Frequent 



hoeing and a liberal supply of rich liquid manure, to keep up a continuous 

 and rapid growth, will produce splendid heads of the most delicate flavor. It 

 facilitates blanching if the leaves are gathered loosely together and tied over 

 the top of the head to protect from the sun. Cut before the flowers begin to 

 open. Sow as late as June 20 for late crops, in beds or in hills, covering % 

 inch deep. 



Henderson's Early Snowball. 



DRY WEATHER CAULIFLOWER. 



— During some seasons after a very 

 late spring, hot weather comes on 

 very quickly. In such a year this va- 

 riety has proven itself of exceptional 

 merit. Also in warm parts of the 

 country, where there is not much cool 

 weather, it is a most desirable sort. 

 Very sure heading and second early. 

 Heads larger than Snowball and snow 

 white. Our seed is Al, and procured 

 from the original grower in Denmark.

 est, and produces beautiful snow-white

 and sure to prove satisfactory.

CELERY 



German, Sellerie Spanish, Aplo French, Celeri 



One ounce will produce 7,000 plants. 



CULTURE. — Sow seeds in hotbeds or coldframe. As soon as the plants are about 

 red bed in the border, setting them 4 or 53 inches high, transplant to a nicely prepa 

 and fine, stocky plants, set them in theinches apart. When about 8 inches high, 

 trenches. Earth up a little during the summer, keeping the leaf stalks close together, 

 so that the soil cannot get between them. Finish earthing up in autumn, and never 

 hoe or earth up in moist weather, nor when the plants are moistened with dew. 



To preserve Celery for winter, dig trenches 1 foot in width and as deep as the tops 

 of the plants. Stand the Celery in these, erect as they grew, with what dirt adheres 

 to the roots, packing closely, but not crowding. After the trench is filled it should 

 be covered with straw or leaves as a protection from frost. Do not cover until 

 the weather becomes quite cold, and then only a little at a time, as the cold becomes 

 greater. Celery will bear a good deal of frost. The trench must have good drainage. 



DWARF GOLDEN SELF BLA NC H I NG — Our strain of this variety is unex- 

 celled and absolutely reliable; this sort is. without doubt, the finest early Celery in 

 cultivation. It is perfectly solid, of a fine, nutty flavor; attains a good size, and 

 when blanched is of handsome golden vellow color. Pkt. 5c; oz. 75c; >£ lb. $2 00; 

 lb. $6.50.

GIANT PASCAL.— The largest variety grown; is also the best keeper; of fine, nutty
