TESTED VEGETABLE SEEDS 
CAULIFLOWER 
BlusienkoU. Choa-leux. 
Success with this choice vegetable depends very largely upon the rapid growth of the plant 
from the time the seed has germinated until it is established in its permanent location. Make the 
•oil as fine as possible for every transplanting, and do not allow the young plants to become checked 
at any time for want of water. For spring and early summer use sow in January or February in 
hot bed, and transplant to cold frame when sufficiently large, and to the garden as soon as ground 
Is warm enough. For late autumn crops sow in the early part of June, and transplant in July. In 
dry weather water freely and as they advance in growth hoe deep and draw earth to the stem. 
When heading tie the outside leaves loosely over the heads to protect from the sun. 
N. S. CO.’S EXTEA EARLY SNOWBALL. Selected Strain. Has more points of real merit than 
any other cauliflower in cultivation. Extreme earliness, unusual hardiness, compact growing habit 
and an almost certainty to head, give it the preference over all other varieties. The heads are of 
large size, deliciously flavored, of the finest texture and of the purest snow-white color; in form 
they are beautifully rounded, uniformly large, smooth and symmetrical. Its compact growth makes 
it unequaled for hothouse or cold frame culture; its very superior quality has made it the leading 
favorite for late crop out of doors. Our seed we import direct from our grower in Denmark, where 
climate, soil and season exactly fill the requirements for perfect maturing of seed as well as for 
perfect development of plant. 
NEBRASKA MARKET. Every market gardener 
ought to use some of this cauliflower, as this 
strain will head where others fail, and whether we 
have a dry or a wet season this cauliflower will 
always produce solid and pure white head. 
EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT. An excel¬ 
lent variety, producing magnificent heads of the 
finest quality. A reliable cropper which we rec¬ 
ommend highly to market gardeners. 
EXTRA EARLY PARIS. Head rather large.

CULTURE. —Sow in April and May and rake seeds in light¬ 
ly; water and shade from strong sun. Prepare trenches fr m 
two to four feet apart, a foot wide and a foot deep; dig into 
the bottom plenty of well rotted manure and set the plants 
when they are three or four inches high, six to eight inches 
•part In each trench. Keep shaded until started and gradually 
earth them up as they grow. 
WHITE PLUME. Unlike all other varieties this one does 
not require to be earthed up, but if only loosely tied or a few 
handsful of earth brought closely around the base of the 
leaves to keep them close together, all the inner leaves or thin 
stalks will turn white and crisp. 
GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING. The best celery for early 
use. Our seed is a specially selected strain, produced by 
a celery seed specialist. 
GIANT PASCAL. The standard variety to grow for fall 
and early winter use, either in the home garden or for mar¬ 
ket. The plants are stocky, with thick, broad heavily ribbed 
leaf-stalks. The color is a rich green until blanched, when 
it changes to a yellowish white. Has a rich nutty flavor. 
DWARF GOLDEN HEART. A popular variety for winter 
use. Solid, shapely stocks, surrounding a large solid heart 
that blanches to a beautiful yellow after storing. A fine 
keeping sort. 
CELERIAC—Turnip Rooted Celery 
GIANT PRAGUE. This Is unquestionably the largest and beat 
Celerlac In existence. The roots are very large, almost globe 
shaped, smooth, with only a few roots at the bottom. Flavor Is 
excellent.
