The Twentieth Century Cauliflower 



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, weigh- 

 ing 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 number of heads to the acre. 

 It is the earliest and makes big money for the grower. Pkt. 

 10 and 15 cts.; '/z 02. $1.40; oz. $2.25; V4 lb. $8.00. 



Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt, a remarkably sure head- 

 ing 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, exceptionally deep and of finest 

 quality. It will give excellent results either in the home 

 garden or for market use. Pkt. 10 and 15 cts.; Vz oz. $1.40; 

 oz. $2.25; V4 lb. $8.00. 



166. Veitch's Autumn Giant. 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.; '/z oz. 50 cts.; oz. 75 cts.; Vi lb. $2.70; lb. $10.00. 



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 Suc- 

 cess. 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.; '/z oz. $1.25; oz. $2.00; 

 '/4 lb. $7.50. 



245. Danish Giant or New Dry Weather Cauli- 

 flower. Will produce splendid crops in very dry locations. 

 Pkt. 10 and 15 cts.; Vz dz. $1.25; oz. $2.00; '/4 lb. $7.50. 



A great many people look upon the lowly 

 collard, or "Georgia Cabbage," as some jok- 

 ingly refer to it, as something not worth while 

 growing. Now there are thousands of collard patches scattered over the South, 

 and most Southern people like them. 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. 



C50. Southern or Georgia. This variety is the old- 

 time favorite. Stands all sorts of adverse conditions with- 

 out 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. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; '/4 lb. 35 cts.; 

 lb. $1.00. 



COLLARDS 



Cauliflower, although one of the most de- 

 licious vegetables, is but little grown except 

 by professional 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 reasonably sure 

 of success with this most desirable vege- 

 table if the culture directions given below 

 are carefully followed. 



CULTURE. Sow the seed in a hotbed in January or 

 February, and when the plants are large enough trans- 

 plant three inches apart in boxes or in other hotbeds until 

 time to plant out. If hardened off they are seldom in- 

 jured by planting out as early as the ground can be prop- 

 erly prepared, 2H 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. 



24. Early Snowball. The seed is from our selected im- 

 ported 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 quality. The long pointed leaves protect 

 the curd from the sun. Early Snowball matures in ninety or 

 a hundred days under favorable conditions, and 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 and 15 



Early Snowball Cauliflower 



^^OCCJC! CULTURE. Sow thickly in shallow drills every 2 or 3 

 \ ,lX r.^^ ^^ weeks. It should be cut often, and it will continue 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. 



21. True Water, 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. 35 cts.; V4 lb. $1.15; lb. $4.00.

C26. Pepper Grass. The seed should be sown in drills
