CAULIFLOWER 
Coliflor 
EARLY DANISH SNOWBALL. 
Bleich-Sellerie 
CULTURE. The same as for cabbage, except 
that it will pay to use extra manure and plenty of 
water for Cauliflower. If the soil is dry, water 
frequently, and if the plants have a heavy mulch 
of hay or straw, it would keep the soil moist, and 
the plants would not suffer from drouth. The 
early kinds should be strong enough to plant out 
not later than the middle of April; the late kinds 
may be planted out the same as Cabbage. One 
ounce of seed produces 1,500 plants; 15,000 plants 
will cover one acre. < 
EARLY DANISH SNOWBALL. This splendid 
Cauliflower is extremely early, heads with certainty 
and these heads are of high quality. The 
plant is dwarf, outer leaves are erect, 
while the inner leaves lap over the head, 
protecting it from the sun. It is th 
Cauliflower on the market, and we recom 
it to the Market Gardeners especially.

CELERY 
Apio 
CULTURE. For early celery sow in March or 
February, in hotbeds, in drills 4 to 6 inches apart 
and cover about M-inch deep. When fairly out of 
seed leaf transplant to another bed, thin out to 2 
or 3 inches in the row, and leave growing until 
needed to plant outside. In April plant the field 
in rows 18 to 20 inches apart, and set six inches in the 
row. In planting press the ground around the 
plants, but do not let any earth get into the heart. 
The soil should be very rich and the plants should 
be earthed up several times during their growth. 
Celery needs more water than any other garden 
crop, and is liable to get soft if not watered suf- 
ficiently. 
For winter use sow the seed in the latter part of 
April, or beginning of May, in beds, and transplant 
in the fields in July. If the roots are to be dug up 
and put in trenches to bleach, allow two feet between 
the rows, or if they are to bleach in the same place 
where grown, allow four feet. When cold weather 
sets in dig a trench in a high well-drained place, 
one foot wide, and of a depth of a few inches less 
than the height of the celery. Set your plants close- 
ly in it and cover gradually with straw or hay and 
earth as the weather gets colder. The top of the 
trench should be sloping so as to allow the water to 
run off. One ounce of seed produces 2,500 plants 
and it takes about 42,000 plants to set one acre 
if the rows are 2 feet apart. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING. This is a beau- 
tiful plant of close habit, compact growth, and has 
straight and vigorous stalks. The ribs 
are perfectly solid, crisp and brittle. Its 
delicate flavor is surpassed by no other 
variety and moreover it has the decided 
merit of being self-blanching to a very 
remarkable degree. Our stock of this seed is 
selected with special care in France.
