VEGETABLE PLANTS AND ROOTS 
We grow large quantities vegetable plants and roots and can supply the varieties listed below 
in their proper season. They grow under the best conditions to make them hardy and vigorous 
and we give especial attention to packing' and shipping*. 
They may be sent by mail, and we guarantee that they will arrive in good condition. 
ASPARAGUS CULTIVATION 
See that the ground is well drained, work it up fine and deep and make it very rich with fertil- 
izer or barnyard manure. Place the plants eight inches apart in rows three feet apart. Spread out 
the roots in a trench made deep enough to permit their crowns to be covered with three or four 
Inches of mellow earth. Give the bed liberal dressings of fertilizer at intervals, and, except near the 
sets, three pounds of salt per square yard early every spring. Do not cut for use until the plants 
have grown two seasons.

CABBAGE PLANTS 
Set out in open ground as soon in spring as the land can be properly prepared. A rich, warm, 
fibrous loam is best. Have the plants in the rows 20 to 2 4 inches apart, and rows at least 2 feet 
apart. Give thorough cultivation, and irrigate in dry weather if practicable. Protect against the 
ravages of cutworm, maggot and green worm. A little nitrate of soda applied around the plant is 
of great benefit. Potash applications, such as wood ashes or muriate, may also do much good. For 
late Cabbage plants, transplant in June and July, giving the plants more room than allowed for earli- 
est Cabbages. Dusting with tobacco dust, insect powder, etc., or splashing with hot soapsuds, espe- 
cially Whale-Oil Soap solution, are good and safe remedies for some of the insect pests attacking 
plants of the Cabbage.

CAULIFLOWER PLANTS 
Set in open ground as soon in spring as the land can be put in good order. Soil to be a warm, 
very rich, fibrous loam, well supplied with humus and moisture. Copious water applications during 
dry weather, especially when the plants are heading, and light dressings of nitrate of soda and 
potash are of much help. Set plants 2 to 2 1 / £ feet apart each way. When heads are formed and are 
hard, they should be blanched by drawing the leaves together and tying with raphia, or strips of 
soft cloth.

CELERY PLANTS 
In May to June, set the plants in very rich and well-prepared land, 6 inches apart in the rows, 
and rows 3 to 4 feet apart. Give thorough and clean cultivation, and blanch by means of boards 
set up against the rows. For later and winter Celery the rows in which the plants are set should 
be 4 to 5 feet apart. Blanch by earthing up gradually clear to within a few inches of tip of leaves. 
For winter storage, take up the plants with roots, and place upright on wet soil in a dark cellar or 
root-house, packing closely.

CHIVES 
Chives are a small hardy perennial plant, resembling the onion leaves in appearance. They are 
grown for the young leaves which are produced freely early in the spring and give a mild onion 
flavor to sausages, salads and various dishes. The tops can be shorn off close to the ground as 
needed. They can be grown also in pots in a sunny window during winter. Bunch, 20c, by mail, post- 
paid. 
HORSE-RADISH SETS 
Horse-radish is always in demand in winter and spring. The culture is by sets or root cuttings, 
as it seldom seeds. These sets are planted in rows or furrows 2 to 3 feet apart and 15 to 18 inches 
apart in the rows. The sets should be placed in a perpendicular position, with crown 3 to 6 inches 
below surface. Horse-radish delights in a deep, rich soil. It makes large top growth, giving weeds 
small chance. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.50, postpaid. 
PEPPER PLANTS
