LABCrE PLAT BRUNSWICK— This is a 

 late German variety, introduced here many 

 years ago by Richard Frotscher. It is 

 an excellent kind, and when well headed 

 up the shape of it is a true type of pre- 

 mium Flat Dutch Cabbage. This is an old 

 standard variety very much in demand in 

 this section. Crop a Failure.

 ing of the second early sorts, of excellent

 U lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00, postpaid.

 veining. The heads are late maturing,

Early 

 Snowball 



CAULIFLOWER. 



CULTURE. — This is one of the finest vegetables grown and succeeds well in the 

 South, especially in the vicinity of New Orleans. Large quantities are raised on the sea 

 coast. The two Italian varieties are of excellent quality, growing to a large size. The 

 ground for planting Cauliflower should be very rich and well fertilized. They thrive 

 best in rich, sandy soil, and require plenty of moisture during the formation of the head. 

 The Italian varieties should be sown from April to July, the latter month and June is 

 the best time to sow the Early Giant. During August, September and October, the Le 

 Normands, Half Early Paris and Erfurt can be sown. The Half Early Paris is very 

 popular, but the other varieties are just as good. For Spring crop the Italian kinds 

 do not answer, but the early French and German varieties can be sown at the end of 

 December and during January, in a bed protected from frost, and may be transplanted 

 into the open ground during February and as late as March. If we have a favorable 

 season, and not too dry, they will be very fine, but if the heat sets in soon, the flowers 

 will not attain the same size as those obtained from seeds sown in the Fall, and which 

 head during December and January. One ounce to 3,000 plants; 5 ounces will plant an 

 acre. Use "Corona Dry" or Tobacco Dust for insects. Matures in 95 to 120 days. 



EARLY SNOWBALL. (Danish Grown.) — 

 A fine variety, great favorite and standard 

 throughout the country; very early, close 

 growing, of compact habit. It is without 

 doubt one of the most satisfactory early 

 varieties. The heads are large. For early 

 or late planting, for family or market gar- 

 den, this kind can be depended on. Packet, 

 25c; oz. $2.50; y A lb. $8=00, postpaid. 



EARLY ITALIAN GIANT.— Very large 

 fine sort, not quite so late as the Late 

 Italian and almost as large. The heads are 

 quite large, white and compact, and of 

 delicious flavor. When sown at the proper 

 season, it will head with certainty and will 

 not fail to give satisfaction. Packet, 5c 

 and 10c; oz. $1.00; V4 lb. $3.50; lb. $12.00.
