Pe-Tsai, Chinese Cabbage 
Early Snowbg.ll Cauliflower 
Chinese Cabbage 
Pe-Tsai. 70 days. This delicious Chinese vegetable belongs 
to the Cabbage family and closely resembles a well-grown 
Cos lettuce, but is heavier. We advise that the seed be sown 
about August 1 (not earlier). Either start in frames and 
transplant, or simply sow where the plants are to remain in 
rows, 2)/2 feet apart, thinning to 1 foot apart in the row. The 
light green, crumpled-leaved heads are very tender and of a 
delicious flavor. 
Cauliflower 
Sow the seeds for early and late Cauliflower crops as directed 
for cabbage, but do not set the early plants in the field too 
soon, for if too much stunted by severe frosts, they begin to 
form heads before they are strong enough to develop them 
well. Plants which have not headed before winter sets in may 
be stored in a cool cellar or coldframe, and will form heads 
there without any further attention. A deep, loamy soil, with 
a substratum of moisture during dry weather is most suitable 
for the Cauliflower. Market-gardeners find this one of their 
most profitable crops, and amateurs who undertake its culture 
find it easy; but it is a crop in which carelessness or neglect 
will interfere with the best results. 
One ounce of seed will produce 3,000 plants; 4 ounces will sow an acre 
Danish Giant or Dry-Weather. 105 days. Finest Danish- 
grown seed. Very reliable header. A feature of it, the leaves 
curling over the head, does away with tying to blanch, and 
gives it the name of Self-protecting Cauliflower. Excellent 
for market or family use. 
Early Snowball. 95 days. This early and popular variety is 
largely grown everywhere, both for forcing and early crops 
outside. The plants are dwarf and sure heading; of fine, 
delicate flavor. 
No. 291 Snowball. 95 days. This new strain of Snowball is 
the earliest on the market. Excellent for the market- 
gardener. 
Super-Snowball. 100 days. An improved strain of Snowball 
with large, uniform heads. 
Cardoon 
Thistle-like vegetable valued for its thick leaf-stalks and 
midribs which must be blanched by hilling them with earth, 
like celery. Sow in open ground; rich soil required. 
Celeriac 
Celeriac or Turnip-Rooted Celery 
The seed should be sown in early spring, in light, rich soil; 
the seedlings transplanted in May, and watered freely in dry 
weather. They will be ready for cooking in October and may 
be preserved for use during winter in dry sand. 
Prague Giant. 120 days. The roots of this variety are very 
large and smooth, with no side roots, and sell better in market 
than those of almost any other sort offered. When young, 
they are quite tender and marrow-like, having a very fine 
flavor and cooking quickly.
