CAULIFLOWER 
One ounce for 3,000 plants 
CELERIAC 
Improved Long.Orange Carrots 
Turnip-Rooted Celery 
Large Early Erfurt. 
We have found this to be 
a great improvement on 
some of the older sorts of 
Celeriac, for while of 
equally good flavor it at- 
tains a larger size. The 
roots, used for flavoring 
soups and stews, have the 
taste of celery, and can be 
kept during the winter as 
easily as turnips. Pkt. 5 
els., oz. 20 cts., *4 Ibi 50c. 
Culture. — Same as for cabbage, excepting 
that extra manure and plenty of water will 
pay on Cauliflower. If the soil be dry, water 
frequently, and have the plants covered with 
a heavy mulch of hay or straw; it will keep 
the soil moist and the plants will not suffer 
from drought. The early kind should be 
strong enough to plant out not later than the 
middle of April. The late kind may be planted 
out the same as for cabbage. 
Henderson’s Early Snowball. One of 
the best for forcing under glass or in open 
ground. The plants are dwarf and sure- 
heading. Pkt. 20 cts., J^oz. 75 cts., yioz. 
$1.35, oz. $2. 
Half-Early Paris. A popular white, sure- 
heading variety, either for early or late use. 
Pkt. to cts., oz. 60 cts. 
Extra- Early Dwarf Erfurt. A fine strain of 
the Erfurt Cauliflower. Almost as early as the Snow- 
ball; grows about 14 inches high, producing very 
solid, pure white heads of the very finest quality; 
seldom fails to form a good-sized head. Compares 
very favorably with Early Snowball. Pkt. 13 cts., 
3s oz. 50 cts. 
CARROTS 
One ounce will sow ioo feet of row; 3 to 4 pounds to the acre 
Culture. — Carrots, to grow in perfection, re- 
quire a rich, deep, sandy loam, well pulverized and 
deeply cultivated. For an early crop sow in May 
and June in drills about I foot apart, thinning out to 
4 inches in the row. Sow for main crop in June and 
July. The large, late variety for field culture should 
be sown in drills 3 to inches apart so as to cul- 
tivate by horse. An important point in sowing 
Carrots, as in all other seeds, is to tread the rows 
firmly after sowing. 
Danvers Half-Long Orange. A rich, oval, red 
variety; very smooth and handsome, producing J 
very large crops; an excellent market variety. Tops 
are medium size and coarsely divided. The roots 
taper to a blunt point ; flesh sweet, crisp and tender. 
Henderson's Early Snowball Cauliflower 
Although the roots of this variety grow shorter, it 
produces more bulk to the acre than the large field 
varieties. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., J^Ib. 30 cts., 
lb. 90 cts. 
Improved Long Orange. Extensively grown; 
hardly equal to Danvers in quality but good and 
hardy in the yield. A most profitable market va- 
riety as it brings good prices. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., 
Xlb- 3° cts., lb. 90 cts. 
Early Scarlet Horn. The favorite early red 
summer variety. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., %\b. 30 cts., 
lb. $1. 
Oxheart. A useful variety on soil too hard and 
stiff for the longer-growing sort, as it is not over 5 to 
6 inches long. Can be pulled by hand; one of the 
easiest to harvest, and produces large crops. Pkt. 5 
cts., oz. 15 cts., jjlb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 
CRESS 
Culture. — Sow thickly in shallow drills early 
in the spring, and at intervals throughout the season 
for a succession. Water Cress requires a stream of 
running water, ditch or pond, in which it will grow 
without any care, excepting that of keeping weeds 
from interfering with its growth. 
Extra- Cur led , or 
Pepper Grass. Of fine 
flavor; best suited to dry 
soil. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 
cts., Xlb. 60 cts.
