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 ofE they are seldom 

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

 2Vi 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. 



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. 

 We feel sure that if you once try this seed you will have 

 no other. Pkt. 10 cts.; V4 oz. 45 cts.; '/z oz. 65 cts.; 

 oz. $1.25; V4 lb. $4.50, postpaid. 



ENDIVE 



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 Earlj 

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

 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.; "4 oz. 40 cts.; Yz oz. 60 cts.; oz, $1.15; '4 lb. $4.25, 

 postpaid. 



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

 maturing and while of firm texture heads or curds are not so 

 well formed nor so tight as those of the earlier varieties,

 flower. (95 days.) Will produce splendid crops in very dry 

 locations. Pkt. 10 cts.; '4 oz. 40 cts.; Y2 oz. 75 cts.; oz. $1.25 j 

 V4 lb. $4.50, postpaid. 



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

 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.; '/4 oz. 40 cts.; Yz oz. 75 cts.; oz. $1.25; Y4 lb. $4.50,i 

 postpaid. 



CULTURE. Sow thickly in shallow drills every ! 

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

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

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

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

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

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

 good plan to sow with Water Cres3 seed a strip 4 inches wide on th^ 

 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 submerged in water. It is one of the most 

 delicious of small salads. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; Y4 lb.

CRESS 



Endive is one of the best salads for fall and winter use. Sow for an early supply about the 

 middle of April. As it is used mostly in the fall months, the main sowings are made in .June 

 and July. Plant one foot apart each way. When the plant has attained its full size gather 

 up the leaves and tie them by their tips in a conical form. This excludes the light and air 

 from the inner leaves until blanched.
