THE WORLD'S BEST CAULIFLOWER SEED 



Cl'LTUBE OF CAVLIFLOWER. 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 p^ant 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. 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 >-arieties mature in the autumn and are sown and managed similar to winter cabbage. 



THE TWENTIXTH CEMURY CAU- 

 LIFLOWER. \Miere 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. X. 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 small.er 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 de- 

 manded that every head must be perfect. 

 •ir it must not be saved for seed. Price: 

 Packets, lOc, 25c. and 50c.: *j ounce. 

 -<1.25: 1 ounce. $2.25: '» lb.. $8.00. 



E.4RLY SXOn^ALL CAULIFLOWER 

 (BLUMEX-KOLE). Our seed this sea- 

 <on has been more carefully selected than 

 ver, and we go to the grower knowing 

 that we give them seed that has been 

 grown for us by the best grower in Eu- 

 rope. 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 increased 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 

 s<:ll readily. Packets. lOc, 25c. and 50c.; '.• ounce. $1.00; ounce, $2.00. 



Twentieth Century Cauliflower 



THE SUCCESS CAULIFLOWER. We have found a demand for a CauUflower 

 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, lOc, 25c. and 50c.; 



'.unce, $1.50; pound, $20.00. 



Two of the Officials of the Department of Agriculture told us that our Twen- 

 tieth Century Cauliflower gave finer heads and produced more perfect heads than any 

 they have tried. We consider this the best recommendation possible for any one to 

 have. Testimony that is unbiased by likes and disHkes. Why not get the best? 



CARROTS 



((iELBE-RUBEN) 



Ox Heart Carrot 



Three ounces of seed to 100 yards; four pounds to the acre. 



Cl'LTUEE OF CARROTS. Carrots, to grow to perfection, require a deep, rich, 

 sandy loam, well pulverized and deeply cultivated. 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 sow- 

 ing the seed. 



OX HEART SELECTED STOCK. A thick carrot, five inches long and very blunt 

 at the lower extremity. It grows very rapidly and the roots attain a weight of more 

 than a pound. It is tender, and of a deep red color, and is a variety we can recom- 

 mend to all market gardeners. Packet, 5c. and 10c. ; % lb., 40c.; lb., $1.50. 



HALF LO>'G DARTERS. This is a broad-shouldered Carrot, cylindrical in 

 shape, stump-rooted, of excellent color, best flavor and a most wonderful producer. 

 Ready in about sixty-five days from the time of sowing. It is not only one of the 

 best for the table, but is so easily harvested. Pkt., 5c. and 10c. ; Vi lb., 40c.; lb., $1.50.

 is of rich, dark orange color, grows to a large size, is smooth and the flesh very close 

 in texture, with little core. It is a first-class carrot for all soils, and it is claimed 

 that under good cultivation it will yield the greatest weight per acre with the smallest 

 length of root of any now grown. Pkts., 5 and 10c. ; Vi lb., 40c. ; V-; lb., 75c. ; lb., $1.50.
