CAULIFLOWER. 
The Cultivation of Cauliflower.— Vox the earliest Cauliflower sow the seed in hotbeds or greenhouse during February or March and 
transplant to flats or cold frames 2 or 3 in. apart each way. Set in the open ground as early in the spring as the ground can be properly worked. 
Plants should be 2$ ft. apart each way. The soil should be warm, very rich, and fibrous, with an abundance of humus and moisture. A copious 
supply of water during the dry spells, especially during the heading period, will help. For late Cauliflower start plants in the open ground and 
treat as late Cabbage. When the heads have formed they should be blanched by drawing the leaves together and tying. 1 oz. of Cauliflower seed 
will produce 3,000 plants. 
893 Carters Forerunner. — The quickest Cauliflower ever grown. 
Ten days earlier than others. Large white head, solid, and good 
size. Sow in middle of February, transplant when first leaves 
drop, under glass, plant in open ground end of May, and the first 
heads will be ready by the middle of June. The leaves protect 
the head from the summer sun. Included in the First Prize and 
Champion Exhibit of Vegetables. Shrewsbury. 1912, and also a 
feature of the Large Gold Medal Exhibit at the same critical 
Price of the above ... ^ 
404 Carters Extra Early Autumn Giant. — This magnificent 
Cauliflower is more dwarf, considerably earlier, and in every 
respect better than the old A utumn Qiant. It produces enormous 
snow-white heads, and is admitted to be the largest aud the 
earliest of the giant forms that are of such value during 
September and October. We have records of 332 First Prizes 
having been won by customers. 
894 Carters Early Emperor.— A superb strain for the early 
summer. A giant Cauliflower for outdoor work, coming in mid- 
way between Carters Forerunner and Carters Autumn Giant. 
The Royal Horticultural Society’s report reads : — “ Carters Early 
Emperor.— Plants dwarf, sturdy, with semi-protecting foliage ; 
heads medium to large in size, firm, and of excellent shape.”

meeting. Staged in five Gold Medal Exhibits during 1913 and 
1914. The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting its trials at 
Wisley, says: — “Carters Early Forerunner.— A very early 
variety of dwarf, compact habit ; sturdy, with rather small, solid, 
handsome, pure white heads.” 
395 Carters Defiance Forcing.— This superb variety is. without 
doubt, one of the finest forcing varieties ever introduced;

405 Carters Mont Blanc. — Magnificent snow-white heads, well- 
protected by the leaves ; one of the best for soils of a heavy or 
retentive nature. 
398 Snowball. — This is an old, well-known variety which we can 
strongly recommend to the American gardener. It is valuable 
for forcing under glass for a winter crop, aud equally valu- 
able for outdoor work, and consequently much esteemed by 
both private and market growers. It has a compact, upright 
habit, and forms fine white, hard heads. Sow under glass in 
February, transplant after frost for cutting in June, or sow out of 
doors in the third week in May and transplant in July.

CELERY. 
The Cultivation of Celery.— For earliest crop sow in February under glass or on a mild hotbed. Prick out on bottom heat when ready and 
transfer to trenches in May or June. For main crop sow in March or April, and in June or July, when plants are large enough, transplant to 
trenches, preparing the same by bottoming with good rich loam. Water liberally during July and August : earth up gradually during August 
and September. Lift late in November, and for winter storage place upright on damp soil in a cellar or root house. Pack closely. 1 oz. of seed 
will produce 3,000 plants. 
WHITE VARIETIES. 
424 Carters Solid Ivory.— One of the most remarkable features 
of Carters Solid Ivory Celery is its extreme dwarf compact habit 
and beautiful white colour. If the heads are tied with a little 
rough matting, the same as with Cos Lettuces, it will assist not 
only in keeping the Celery perfect, but also to exclude super- 
abundant moisture. We have records of no less than 411 First
