BLUMENKOHL (Ger.) 
Cauliflower 
CAVOLOFLORE (It.) 
One ounce will give from 1000 to 1500 good strong plants. 
Cauliflower is grown in the same manner as Cabbage, usually as a late 
fall crop, but when started early in the spring, excellent heads of the 
early varieties can be grown. To make the best and largest heads, 
the plants need cool moist weather, well enriched soil and thorough 
cultivation. For an early crop start the seed indoors and set in the 
open about the end of April. For a main or fall crop, seed should be 
sown from June 1 to July 1, and the young plants set out during the 
later part of July. In this locality the early dwarf varieties, such as 
Holmes’ Snowball, give best results also for the fall crop. 
HOLMES' SNOWBALL. After exhaustive tests, Holmes’ Snowball 
has proven to be thoroughly established and we believe it would pay 
you to give it a trial, not only because we know it to be a fine sort, 
but because we know what crops have been produced from it. Our 
opinion is based upon many years’ experience and from results ob¬ 
tained by gardeners in the Cauliflower-producing sections. Holmes' 
Snowball is for outdoor culture on account of its earliness, vigorous 
growth, handsome appearance, and high quality. We advise you not 
to delay in placing your order. Fkt., 25c; Vi oz., 60c; oz., $2.00; Vi lb., 
$7.00; lb., $25.00. 
DRY WEATHER or DANISH GIANT. A second-early sort adapted for 
growing in the open ground in localities which are subject to long, 
dry seasons. The heads are of medium to large size, pure white, and 
of fine quality. Fkt., 25c; Vi oz., 66c; oz., $2.20; Vi lb., $7.60; lb., $26.00. 
EARLY DWARF ERFURT. We recommend this for very early outdoor 
crop in spring, or for sowing in May for fall crop. The plant is vig¬ 
orous and makes a strong, sturdy, dwarf, compact frame—a sure in¬ 
dication of sound, large heads. Fkt., 15c; Vi oz., 60c; oz., $1.80; Vi lb., 
$6.50; lb., $24.00. 
GARTEN-KRESSE (Ger.) 
Cress 
AGRETTO (It.) 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 12 pounds will sow an acre. 
EXTRA CURDED (Pepper Grass). Crisp, pungent-flavored leaves; finely 
cut, dwarf, and compact. Used for salads. Fkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 25c; 
lb., 75c.

Chicory 
CICHORIEN-WURZED (Ger.) CICORA SELTATICA (It.) 
One ounce will produce 300 to 500 roots. 
WITDOOF CHICORY or FRENCH ENDIVE. This is a most appetizing 
and delicious salad. It is so easily raised that every one can enjoy it 
all winter with very little trouble. Seed sown in May or June produces 
roots which when taken up and placed in sand in a warm, dark place, 
throw out tender white sprouts. These are used as salad. We can offer 
a very fine strain grown from especially selected, forced heads. Fkt., 
10c; oz., 20c; Vi lb., 65c; lb., $2.00.
