An especially good variety to grow if one has a limited 
supply of water; a great favorite for dairymen, mak- 
ing a wonderful increase in milk; easy to pull and 
harvest; tops are small. 
SWISS CHARD 
SWISS CHARD (or Sea Kale Beet). Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % 
lb., 25c; 1 lb 85c 
Although little known in America, this vegetable is 
worthy of a place in every garden. The leaf and the 
leaf stem are the parts used and they are much su- 
perior to those of other beets to use as green. Later in 
the season the broad, flat, beautiful, wax-like leaf 
stems are cooked as a salad or pickled. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS— (Species of Cabbage; cultivation 
the same. One ounce will grow a bed of 40 square feet, 
and produce about 3,000 plants). This is a delicious 
vegetable superior to either Broccoli or Spinach. The 
small, cabbage-like heads which grow upon the stem 
are much improved by a moderate frost. Sow in hot- 
beds in March or April, and in the open ground in 
May; cultivate same as Broccoli. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS— (S. N. Co.'s Peerless). Pkt., 5c; oz., 
40c; Vi lb $1.00 
An improved variety growing about 19 inches high; 
produces sprouts in abundance. Cut out head of plant 
when sprouts have formed. 
CABBAGE 
(One ounce will produce 1,500 plants; half pound will 
produce plants for one acre). 
The soil should be deep and rich. For early crop, 
grow plants in hot beds, transplanting to cold frames and 
then as early as possible after danger of freezing to the 
open ground. Cultivate often and keep well watered if 
under irrigation. For late crops sow seed in open ground 
and transplant, or some succeed finely by sowing 
seeds in hills where wanted and thinning to one. This 
avoids the necessity of waiting for a damp time to trans- 
plant. 
CABBAGE— (Extra Early Express). Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c: % 
lb., 70c; lb $2.50 
With First Early it holds the place as the earliest Cab- 
bage in cultivation, as it has produced fair sized, mar- 
ketable heads in 80 days from the sowing of the seed. 
There are few loose leaves, and almost every plant 
forms a head. It can be planted close, and yields a 
large crop. This is the earliest of the many early Cab- 
bages of the catalogues. 
CABBAGE— (Peerless Wakefield). Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; % 
lb., 75c; lb $2.50 
This Cabbage has been for many years the leading 
early Cabbage in America. The main difficulty has 
been to get a perfectly satisfactory and reliable strain 
of seed. Buyers will find in Peerless Wakefield the 
genuine article. Tt has few outer leaves, and in com- 
pactness and regularity cannot be surpassed. The thick 
stout leaves and compact habit make it the best sort 
for very early setting. It frequently matures inside of 
100 days from sowing.
