CABBAGE— Continued 



AMERICAN PERFECTION DRUMHEAD SAVOY 



The Savoy Cabbages are veiy 

 tender and of fine flavor, very 

 much superior in this respfCt to 

 the ordinary late fall and winter 

 Cabbage. Should be much more 

 largelv grown, both for home use 

 and m'arket. The strain of Anieri- 

 can Drumhead Savoy which I 

 offer makes large-sized heads of 

 most superior quality; truckers and 

 private gardeners alike will find 

 it an excellent variety. Packet, 5 

 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; I lb., 40 cts.; lb., 

 $1.25. 



Market Gardeners, Farm- 

 ers' Clubs and institutes 



wanting to purchase seeds in 

 unusually large quantities 

 should write for special prices. 

 Although I have made prices 

 very low in this catalogue, yet, 

 where a number of pounds or 

 bushels are wanted, I can fre- 

 quently supply at a lower price 

 than by the single pound or 

 bushel. In writing, give me a 

 list of quantities and varieties 

 required, and I will return list 

 promptly with my Lowest 

 Cash Price for the Lot

CAULIFLOWER 



Blumenkohl, Ger, 



CULTURE. — Sow the seed in a hot-bed in January or February, and when the plants are large enough 

 transplant three inches apart in boxes or in other hot-beds until time to plant 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 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 varie- 

 ties mature in the autumn, and are sown and managed similar to winter cabbage. 



Henderson's Early Snowball. adapVe'/f ir 



forcing or wintering over for early crop, and the 

 most popular sort for these purposes. It is also 

 one of the best sorts for late summer and fall 

 crop, and with reasonably favorable conditions 

 every plant will form a large solid head of fine 

 quality. The plants are compact, with few nar- 

 row, upright leaves and are well suited for close 

 planting. The heads are solid, compact, round, 

 very white and curd-like, and are developed 

 earlier than those of any other sort. 



I am in position to supply the most critical 

 market gardener with seed which can be de- 

 pended upon as the very best. Price, packets,. 

 25 and 50 Qt&; i oz., $1.00; oz., $2.00. 



Extra Early Selected Dwarf Erfurt. 



liest in cultivation ; small-leaved dwarf, for 

 forcing or open ground, producing very solid 

 pure white heads of the finest quality, it grows 

 about 15 inches high, and is a sure header.
