The World's Best Cauliflower Seed 



Culture of Cauliflower. 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 J^ feet apart each way. Keep them well hoed and bring the earth gradually up to their stems, watering freely in dry weather, and especially 

 when they begin to head. The 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. 



The Twentieth Century Cauliflower. Where 

 other Cauliflower fails, gardeners should try this 

 strain. The heads are all large, and every plant 

 will make a head when the conditions are right. 

 In Long Island, N. Y., this strain has given the 

 best satisfaction. The heads are large, compact 

 and white, weighing more than any other sort. 

 The outside leaves are smaller than any other 

 variety; for this reason can be planted closer, 

 thereby getting a greater number of heads to the 

 acre. It is the earliest and makes big and quick 

 money for the grower. The cost to produce this 

 seed is much greater than any other variety. 

 We have demanded that every head must be per- 

 fect, or it must not be saved for seed. Price: 

 Packets, 10c, 25c. and 50c; Y 2 ounce, $2.00; 

 1 ounce, $4.00; M lb., $15.00. 



Early Snowball Cauliflower (Blumen-Kole). 



Our seed this season has been more carefully 

 selected than ever, and we go to the grower know- 

 ing that we give them seed that has been 

 grown for us by the best grower in Europe. We 

 had an inspector in the fields this season, and he 

 reports that of all crops in Europe, this crop was 

 the most carefully and intelligently grown of 

 all crops that he saw. It grows dwarf, with large, 

 white heads and very early. Our sales have in- 

 creased each year in the sale of Cauliflower, and 

 we have spared no expense in perfecting this fine 

 strain. We feel sure that if you once try this seed 

 you will have no other, because it is the best. 



As a profitable crop there are few that equal it, and any one who gets our seed should make a success and money. Good 

 Cauliflowers always sell, and sell readily. Packets, 10c, 25c and 50c; Yi ounce, $1.00; ounce, $2.00. 



The Success Cauliflower. We have found a demand for a Cauliflower that would make a head when the seed was 

 planted late after the early sorts. The Success is that one. We feel that in the introduction of this Cauliflower we have 

 given our trade success in growing Cauliflower. Price: Packets, 10c, 25c and 50c; ounce, $1.50; pound, $20.00. 



Two of the Officials of the Department of Agriculture told us that our Twentieth Century Cauliflower 

 gave finer heads and produced more perfect heads than any they have tried. We consider this the best recom- 

 mendation possible for any one to have. Testimony that is unbiased by likes and dislikes. Why not get 

 the best?

Carrots 



(Gelbe-Ruben) 



Three ounces of seed to 100 yards; 

 four pounds to the acre 



Culture of Carrots. Carrots, to grow 

 to perfection, require a deep, rich, sandy 

 loam, well pulverized and deeply culti- 

 vated. For an early crop sow in May 

 and June in drills about one _ foot apart, 

 thinning out to four inches in the row; 

 sow for winter crop in June and July. 

 It is very important to tread the rows 

 firmly after sowing the seed.
