12 dreer's garden calendar. 



CAULIFLOWER. 



$1.00 per oz. 



Chou Fleur, Fr. Coliflor, Span. Blumen Kohl, Ger. 



Early London. Large Walcheren. 



Early Paris, $2.00 per oz. Late London. 



Asiatic. Late Stadtholder, $2.00 peroz. 



The Early London and Large Walcheren, can be recommended as 

 superior varieties. 



Sow for early about the middle of September, in a bed of clean rich 

 earth. In about four or five -weeks afterward, the plants should be 

 pricked out into another bed, at the distance of four inches from each 

 other every way; these should be encompassed with garden frames; 

 covered with glass sashes, and boards or shutters. The beds must be 

 so secured, and the tops of the beds so covered as to keep out all frost, 

 giving them light and air every mild day throughout the winter. 

 Transplant in April into a bed of the richest earth, in the garden, at a 

 distance of two feet and a half each way. Keep them well hoed, and 

 bring the earth gradually up to their stems. The late variety matures 

 in the autumn, and is sown and managed similarly to Cape Broccoli, 

 but not so certain to succeed in this climate. 



CELEEY. 



25 cts. per oz. 

 Celeri, Fr. Appio Hortense, Span. Sellerie, Ger. 



Dreer's "White Solid. Cole's Crystal White. 



Rose Colored Solid. Iveby's Nonsuch, Red. 



Seymour's White Solid. Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted. 



Sow the last of March or early in April, in rich mellow ground, and 

 in a situation where the plants can be protected from the parching heat 

 of a summer sun ; in dry weather water freely. When the plants are 

 five or six inches high, transplant a portion in trenches well-manured, 

 and repeat at intervals of two or three weeks for a succession. As they 

 advance in growth, blanch by earthing up, which should be performed 

 gradually in fine weather, taking care not to bury the hearts of the 

 plants. The Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted, may be planted either on level 

 ground or in shallow drills. The root of it swells like a turnip, and may 

 be preserved in sand through the winter. 



CHERVIL. 



20 cts. per oz. 



Cerfuil, Fr. Perifollo, Span. Garten Kerbel, Ger. 

 Used as a small salad, and for seasoning like parsley. Sow in drills, 

 in spring and at intervals.
