SCHULTZ'S SEED STORE, WASHINGTON, D. C. 



CAULIFLOWER- 



One ounce of seed produces about 2000 plants. 



Cloture. — Cauliflower succeeds well in any soil where Cabbages will grow. It delights in a rich soil and abun- 

 dance of water. Sow the seed in a hotbed in January or February, and when the plants are large enough, trans- 

 plant 3 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 properly prepared, in rows about 23^ feet apart, and 2 feet 

 between the plants. The Cauliflower succeeds best when planted in frames at the close of Winter, and brought 

 to maturity l^efore the Summer heat sets in. Late varieties which mature in Autumn are sown and managed Hke 

 Winter Cabbage. 



Henderson^s Snowball Cauliflower 



Is beyond question the best for either early or late. 

 For familj' or market garden. For forcing or cold- 

 frames. It heads where others fail. Henderson's 

 Snowball Cauliflower is superior to all others. It is 

 the earliest of all Cauliflowers. For forcing under 

 glass during Winter and Spring Henderson's Snow- 

 ball is peculiarly adapted. We are in a position to 

 supply the most critical market gardener with seed 

 which can be depended upon as the very best. Pkt.

Early Favorite Cauliflower 



Chives 



Chives are a small, hardy perennial plant, resembling 

 the Onion in appearance and grooving in clusters. They 

 are grown for the young leaves which are produced 

 freely from early in the Spring throughout the Summer. 

 They give a mild Onion flavor to sausages, salads and 

 various dishes. The tops appear early in the Spring, 

 and can be shorn off close to the ground as needed.
