Dry Weather Cauliflower. During some seasons, after a very 

 late spring, hot weather comes on very quickly. In such a year 

 ihis variety has proven itself of exceptional merit. Also in 

 warm parts of the country, where there is not much cool weath- 

 er, it is a most des table sort. Very sure heading and second 

 early. Heads larger than Snowball and snow white. Our seed 

 is .'Vi, and procured from the original grower in Denmark. Pkt., 

 25c; Yi oz., $1.00; oz., %2.oo; '/i lb., $6.00. 



CELERY 



German, Sellerie Spanish, Apio 



French, Celeri 



One ounce will produce 7,000 plants 



Culture. — Sciw -. . I- in licjtl eds or coldframe. .^s soon as the 

 plants are al ■ ui ' in lii Irgh. transplant to a nicely prepared 

 i)ed in the licinli!. -(IImi^: them 4 or 5 inches apart. When 

 about 8 inches high, and line, stocky plants, set them in the 

 trenches. Earth u)) a 1 ttle 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 ("elery for winter, tiig trenches i 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, 1 ut not crowding, .\fter 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-blanching. Our strain of this variety is 

 une.Kcelled and absolutely reliable; this sort is, without doubt, 

 the finest early Celery in cultivat'on. It is perfectly Folid, of 

 a fine, nutty flavor; attains a good size, and when blanched is 

 of a handsome golden yellow color. Pgt., sc ; oz., 500; '/^ lb.,

CELERIAC 



(Turnip-Rooted Celery) 



German, Knollen Sellerie French, Celeri-rave 

 Spanish, Apio raiz de Nabo 



Culture. — .\ variety of Celery with turnip-shaped roots, which 



are white-fleshed, comparatively tender, and have the flavor of 

 celery stalks. The seed may be sown in the open ground in 

 -April, and the young plants nursed in the same way as celery ; 

 but in planting out the ground is manured and dug, not trenched, 

 and the plants are set in shallow drills 12 inches apart, watering 

 freely. .Ai^ the growth advances, draw the earth to the plants, 

 by which the knotty roots will be blanched and made delicate 

 and tender. 



Large Early Erfurt. We have found this to be a great im- 

 provement on some of the older sorts of Ccleriac, for while of 

 equally good flavor, it attains a larger s ze. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 

 '/i lb., 50c; I lb., $1.50. 



Large Smooth Prague. An improved form of Turnip-rooted 

 Celery ; round, smooth roots, with very few side roots. This is 

 the largest variety, and one of the very best. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 

 Yi lb., 40c; I lb. ,$1.40.

 May I, and if a continuous supply is wanted all summer, make

 ly varieties, then later ones. 

 Plant in rows 3 feet apart, 

 and make the hills about the
