us at great expense by one of the most reliable growers in 
Germany. Scarcely a plant fails to produce a good head. It 
is very dwarf, has sohd, pure white heads of the finest quality.

FAUST'S EARMEST TRUE SNOWBALI. CAULI- 
FLOWER. There is probably no other vegetable with which 
there is so much of uncertainity connected in the securing of a 
Buccessful crop as with growing the caulitlower, as very much 
depends upon the season, but under ordinary circumstances 
the same amount of attention, manure and money as are 
devoted to the cabbage crop will bring in as large or larger 
returns. On account of the high price for reliable cauliflower 
seed most gardeners satisfy themselves by sowing cheap seed, 
and this is one cause of failure. Our Snowball Cauliflower is 
undoubtedly the best in cultivation. It is the earliest grown, 
produces the finest snow-white heads, and its compact habit 
enables it to be planted closer together than any other variety. 
Its dwarf growth and short outer leaves peculiarly adapt it for 
forcing under glass during winter and spring. Full cultural 
directions with illustrations lithographed on each packet.

Sow in the open ground as soon as it is fit to work, late in 
March or early in April. Keep clear of weeds until time for 
transplanting in June and July. The tops should be shorn 
off once or twice before transplanting, to insure stocky plants. 
When from 4 to 6 inches high transplant into broad, 
Bhallow trenches, 3 feet apart and 6 inches in the tows. 
The soil should be light, highly manured and moist, or near 
water, as the plants must be freely watered in dry weather. 
Earthing up should not be begun until the plants are quite 
well grown, then earth up gradually, keeping the leaf stocks 
close together, so that the soil may not fall into the centre of 
the plant ; never earth up in wet weather or when the dew is 
on the plants. Celery for very late use which is earthed or 
bunched up early, is liable to rust.
