 One ounce of seed will grow 2,000 plants. 

 My Cauliflower Seed will produce fine heads. Any soil that will grow cabbage will grow Cauliflower, though the richer the soil 

 the better. An extra manuring and preparation of the soil will be well repaid. Sow seed in hot-bed in February or March, trans- 

 I planting the plants two or three inches apart in boxes, as soon as large enough, or in the soil of another hot bed until such time as it is 

 safe to plant in the open ground, which in this latitude is from the last of March to the middle of April, further south earlier, further 

 Inorth later. If properly hardened off they are seldom injured by planting out too early. For second early and late crop sow at the 

 game time given in the directions for cabbage crop. 



ko not be iiiisletl by orrterijifj cheap, inferior seed, which some seedsmen are olfering, and which as a gift 

 t/)o expensive. My seed is carefully tested, perfectly reliable and will please you in every way. 



Ickbee's Extra Early Chief— (See Cut.)— T have no hesi- 

 tancy in introducing to you Buckbee's Extra Early Chief this 

 f greatest of all earh' Cauliflowers; the best variety for either 

 marketer family purposes; by far the earliest and surest 

 header, and the nwst profitable grown. The greater part of 

 Cauliflower seed offered is of European growth, but after years 

 of careful study and perseverance am able to offer to you this 

 Thoroughbred American Variety, " Chief." Is of very compact 

 growth with short stalks. They can be planted very close to- 

 gether and the leaves growing upward naturally protecting the 

 heads, which to say the least are handsome beyond description, 

 measuring fully 13 to 15 inches across, and even more, under 

 careful cultivation ; are pure snow white, very close, compact and 

 of the most superior quality. The heads being so extremely solid 

 and deep, weigh heavier than any early variety. "Buckbee's 

 Extra Early Chief " stands at the head as a shipping sort, the 

 peer of all as a market and family variety, will more than meet 

 j'our expectations. Mr. H. Landers, the gi-eat Cauliflower spe- 

 cialist, writes: "Regarding the trial which I have made of 

 Buckbee's Extra Early Chief, it was with some doubt thai I was 

 first tempted to try this variety, three seasons ago, as there are 

 so many " Bests " offered, but I can heartily say that after try- 

 ing your new Cauliflower it more than meets my most sanguine 

 expectations. My trial shows that it is a week earlier 

 than Henderson's Snow Ball, and in my mind a better 

 variety in every way. Everyone can use Buckbee's Extra 

 Early Chief for either an early or late cauliflower, with 

 full assurance that it is impossible to procure a better or more 

 reliable variety." As my stock is limited I can not too strongly 

 urge you to secure at the earliest date possible enough, for your 

 wants, for when my supply is exhaufited it will be impossible to 

 offer more this season. Have placed the price at the following 

 very low figures which ai-e certainly within the reach of all. 

 Pkt. 15c, 2 pkts. 2oc, \i oz. $1.00, 1 oz.'iS.OO, lb. §10.00. 



Henderson's True Early SnowBall— Certainly a fine variety, 

 great favorite and standard throughout the country, very early, 

 close growing, of compact habit ; it is well adapted for forcing 

 under glass during winter and spring. It is without doubt one 

 of most reliable early varieties. My stock is perfectly reliable 

 and will satisfy you in every particular. Pkt. 10c. 14 oz. 51.25, 

 oz. S2.00, }i lb. ?r.50. 



Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt— (Selected.)— Remarkable for re- 

 liability in heading- ; very dwarf, with solid pure white heads 

 of the most superior quality. If planted the first of March, 

 heads 8 to 10 inches in diameter, will be ready early in 

 June in whicli month the entire crop is ready for market. Mar- 

 ket gardeners and private planters will do well to plant this su- 

 perior variety. Pkt. 10c, yi oz. §1.25, oz ?2.00, U lb. $7.50. 



Buckbee's Early Favorite — The earliest, the surest and the 

 preferable variety to grow, surpassing all other varieties ; will 

 stand heat and drought exceptionally well. For forcing, this 

 variety is particularly well adapted from its dwarf growth 

 and short outer leaves ; as a variety for the family' and market 

 garden it is unequalled. It also does equally well for late plant- 

 ing, and may be considered as the best successive variety. Pkt. 

 10c, i.< oz. .?1.25, oz. S3.00, H lb. §7..5(), 



Early Dwarf Erfurt — A very popular variety, desirable for its 

 extreme earliness, and is certainly one of the Ijest for all general 

 purposes. Heads large, compact. Pkt. 5c, yioz. 50c, oz. 85c, i^lb. SS. 



E.xtra Early Paris— A very reliable early variety. Good for 

 forcing, produces a good head, of dwarf habit ; with solid, pu; e 

 white heads of superior quality. Should be planted very early 

 and will please you as a forcing, market or family variety. 

 Pkt. 5c, oz. 50c." Klta. $1.50. 



Le Normand's Short Stem— The very best large, late variety 

 grown. Sure to please. Curd is well protected by leaves, and 

 being hardj' it stands drouth very well ; a sure header, of good 

 quality and fine in every way. Pkt. 5c, oz. 50c, lb. $1.50. 



Cauliflower Seed, as every Gardener and Cauliflower Fancier knows, is one of the seeds in buy= 



ing which, price should never be questioned.
