CAULIFLOWER 



One Ounce Will Produce 

 Aliout 2000 Plants. 



Caulillower, although one of the most delicious 

 vegetables, is but little grown except by profes- 

 sional gardeners because of the erroneous notion 

 that it is so difficult to grow that only the skilled 

 gardeners can produce it. Any one will be reason- 

 ably sure of success with this most desirable 

 vegetable if the culture directions given below 

 are carefully followed. 



CyiiTURE. 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 

 gradually 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. 



3. The Twentieth Century. 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 it can be 

 planted closer, thereby getting a greater nitmber of heads to 

 the acre. It is the earliest and makes big money for the 

 grower. Pkt. 10 and 15 cts.; Vi oz. $1.40; oz. $2.25; 

 ^ lb. $8.00. 



33. The Success. Having received many inquiries for a 

 satisfactory variety to produce heads late in the season, we 

 were much pleased when our attention was called to The 

 Success. With the introduction of The Success we feel 

 many gardeners may now prolong their growing season. It 

 forms firm large curds or heads, pure and white in color, 

 and always solid and firm. Pkt. 10 and 15 cts.; ^ oz. 

 $1.25; oz. $2.00; lb. $7.50. 



24. Elarly SnowbzdL Our seed this season is as usual 

 from selected stock, and we go to the grower knowing that 

 we give them seed that has been grown for us by the best 

 grower in Europe. It grows dwarf, with large, white heads, 

 and very early. Our sales have increased each year in the 

 sale of Cauliflower, and we have spared no expense in per- 

 fecting this fine strain. We feel sure that if you once try 

 this seed you wiU have no other, because it is the best. As a 

 profitable crop there are few that equal it, and anyone who 

 gets our seed should make a success and money. Good 

 Cauliflowers always sell. Pkt. 10 and 15 cts.; Yz oz. $1.25; 

 oz. $2.00; % lb. $7.50. 



Dzmish Giant, or New Dry Weather Cauliflower. 



Will produce splendid crops in very dry locations. Pkt. 10 

 and 15 cts.; ^ oz. 50 cts.; oz. 75 cts.; % lb. $2.70; 

 lb. $10.00. 



The Twentieth Century Cauliflower. 



Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt, a remarkably sure heading 

 early Cauliflower. It is of dwarf habit with short outsidt 

 leaves similar in most respects to Early Snowball, and near- 

 ly as early. The heads when ready for market are medium 

 to large size. The curd is white, exceptionally deep and ol 

 finest quality. It will give excellent results either in tht 

 home garden or for market use. Pkt. 10 and IS cts.; ^ oz. 

 $1.40; oz. $2.25; % lb. $8.00. 



I 66. Veitch's Autumn Giemt. This is known on the 

 Pacific Coast under the name of California Wonder. It is 

 very late in maturing and heads or curds are not so well 

 formed nor so tight as those of the earlier varieties. Pkt. 

 10 and 15 cts.; ^ oz. 50 cts.; oz. 75 cts.; ^ lb. $2.70; 

 lb. $10.00. 



CHICORY 



22. Witloof (French Endive). Witloof Chicory is used 

 principally as a winter salad. The seed should be sown in 

 the open ground not later than June. The plants form large 

 parsnip shaped roots which are lifted in the fall, trimmec 

 of leaves and stored in soil in a cool place until wanted foi 

 forcing. The roots can be forced in any warm cellar oi 

 room, requiring about one month to make edible sprouts.
