The Twentieth Century Cauliflower 



CULTURE. Sow the seed in a hotbed in January or February, and 

 when the plants are large enough transplant three inches apart in boxes 

 or in other hotbeds until time to plant out. If hardened off they are seldom 

 injured by planting out as early as the ground can be properly prepared, 

 2% feet apart each way. Keep them well hoed and bring the earth grad- 

 ually up to their stems, watering freely in dry weather and especially when 

 they begin to head. 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 are sown and managed 

 similar to winter cabbage. 



252. The Twentieth Century. (90 days.) Where other 

 cauliflower fails, gardeners should try this strain. The heads 

 are all large, and every plant will make a head when the con- 

 ditions are right. The heads are compact and white, weighing 

 more than any other sort. The outside leaves are smaller 

 than other varieties; for this reason it can be planted closer, 

 thereby getting a greater number of heads to the acre. Pkt. 

 10 cts.; Vi oz. 40 cts.; >/ 2 oz. 75 cts.; oz. $1.25; 

 postpaid. 



Danish Giant or New Dry Weather Cauli- 



(95 days.) A splendid variety, actually drought-

resistant which will produce fine heads when some other vari- 

 eties are a complete failure due to lack of moisture. Will 

 produce splendid crops in very dry locations. Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 •4 oz. 40 cts.; >/ 2 oz. 75 cts.; oz. $1.25; Vi lb. $4.50, postpaid. 



289. Autumn Giant. (100 days.) It is very late in 

 maturing and while the heads are not as tightly formed as 

 are some of the earlier varieties, Autumn Giant's large, white 

 heads will remain long fit for use. Pkt. 10 cts.; '/ 2 oz - 25 

 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; 2 ozs. 70 cts.; Vi lb. $1.25; lb. $4.50, post-> 

 paid. 



334. Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt. (90 days.) A re- 

 markably sure heading early Cauliflower. It is of dwarf habit 

 with short outside leaves similar in most respects to Early 

 Snowball, and nearly as early. The heads when ready for 

 market are medium to large size. The curd is white, excep- 

 tionally deep and of finest quality. It will give excellent re- 

 sults either in the home garden or for market use. Pkt. 10 

 cts.; y 4 oz. 40 cts.; Vi oz. 60 cts.; oz. $1.15; V 4 lb. $4.25, 

 postpaid. 



273. Early Snowball Cauliflower. ("Best in Gar- 

 den" Variety.) (90 days.) The seed is from our se- 

 lected imported stock, grown for us by the best grower 

 in Europe. This Cauliflower, the most widely known of 

 them all, may be planted early in the spring or late in 

 the fall. It is of dwarf, compact growth and produces 

 pure-white solid heads of large size and excellent qual- 

 ity. The long pointed leaves protect the curd from the 

 sun. Its earliness and large size make it most desirable.

 lb. $4.50, postpaid. 



COLLARDS 



The collard is an old-time favorite, adapted to all parts of 

 the South, and as a producer of "greens" for boiling in Winter 

 and Spring it has no equal. It will pay you to have a collard 

 patch just to give your cows an occasional taste of "green 

 stuff." Sow any time up to September 1st. 



211. Southern or Georgia. (80 days.) This variety is 

 the old-time favorite. Stands all sorts of adverse conditions 

 without injury. It is very hardy, standing winters as far north 

 as Atlanta. In many places where the soil is too poor to 

 grow cabbage, the collard grows easily and makes a good 

 substitute for cabbage. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; Vi lb. 20 cts.: 

 lb. 50 cts.; 2-lb. lots, 45 cts. lb.; 5-lb. lots, 40 cts. lb., postpaid.

CORN SALAD 



One ounce will sow about 18 square feet and six pounds 

 will sow an acre.

 licious salad used during the winter and spring months as a

 Spinach. Sow in spring in drills 1 foot apart. It will mature 

 in six weeks. For early spring use sow in September and 

 winter over like Spinach. Pkt. 10 cts.: oz. 15 cts.: V 4 lb. 35 

 cts.; lb. $1.15; 2-lb. lots, $1.05 lb.; 5-lb. lots, $1.00 lb.; 10-lb. 

 lots, 95 cts. lb., postpaid. 



CRESS 



CULTURE. Sow thickly in shallow drills every 2 

 or 3 weeks. It should be cut often, and it will con- 

 tinue to grow. It is useful not only for salad, but 

 for the breakfast table and for garnishing. True Water Cress should 

 be sown in damp soil ; or if a stream of water can be utilized they will 

 be much finer. They will also thrive well in damp hotbeds. Rightly 

 managed, their culture is very profitable. To obtain early salad, it is a 

 good plan to sow with Water Cress seed a strip 4 inches wide on the 

 outer margin of a hotbed, inside the frame, where it is always cool. 



270. True Water. (55 days.) It thrives when its roots 

 and stems are submerg-ed in water. It is one of the most 

 delicious of small salads. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; Vi lb.
