Cauliflower- ( Continued) 
SNOWBALL SPECIAL STRAIN No. 4— Strain No. 4 ma¬ 
tures a week to ten days earlier than Strain No. 5. It 
is of the self-protecting- type. Heads very uniform 
so the crop can be cut practically all at the same time. 
Plants vigorous, heads are large, compact and quite 
uniform in size. 
IMPROVED SELF-PROTECTING SNOWBALL— This is the 
most improved and best type of Cauliflower on the 
market today. The originator claims this strain pos¬ 
sesses all the good qualities of the Henderson’s strain 
and in addition thereto has a heavier foliage, longer 
leaves that stand up perfectly straight, and so close to¬ 
gether and so crowded that the inner leaves are unable 
to grow out, thereby forcing them to grow in a whorl 
over the head, covering it in a natural way, shutting 
out the sun and light, making it self-protecting. 
DANISH PERFECTION —This* strain is of Danish origin, 
is very hardy with an abundance of leaves which pro¬ 
tect the large solid, snow white head from the sun. It 
is quick maturing, heads are pure white, solid and firm. 
May be used for early planting but is specially recom¬ 
mended for the late fall crop. 
CULTIVATE YOUR GARDEN OFTEN 
You will find that you have a bet¬ 
ter, more satisfactory garden if you 
keep it well cultivated. Constant 
I cultivation not only keeps the soil 
in fine physical condition to retain 
moisture but it kills the weeds while they are still 
small. A PLANET JR. wheel hoe will help you do 
this work at a great saving of time and labor. See 
page 60 for prices on Planet Jr. Garden Tools.

Celery 
(Sedano, Apio, Sellerie) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed will produce 15,000 
plants. Golden Self-Blanching Seed should be sown in hot¬ 
beds about March 1st, covering the seed very lightly. 
Keep the seed-bed moist, giving it plenty of air. Keep 
the tops of the plants sheared off, which will cause them 
to grow stockier with better roots. The plants should be 
ready for planting in the fields by May 10th or 15th, and 
all should be out by June 15th. When ready for the 
field, set the plants in double rows 3 or 4 feet apart, and 
about 8 inches apart in the rows. Care should be taken 
to press the soil firmly around the roots of the plants. 
If the roots are very long they should be trimmed off to 
about 3 inches in length. This will facilitate handling 
them, and cause the plants to be set in the ground in 
much better condition. Keep the soil well stirred between 
the rows and around the plants. A good rule is to plow 
or work the ground every time it is watered. Great care 
should be used in watering, or the ground will sour and 
cause the celery to blight or rust. Celery requires water 
often, but not a great deal at a time. It should be planted 
on ground with sufficient fall to permit the water running 
off quickly. When about ready to harvest, it may be 
blanched with either boards or dirt, boards being prefer¬ 
able in warm weather, and dirt in cool weather. When 
desired for winter use, it should not be bleached in the 
field, as it will bleach sufficiently in the cellar or pit, 
after being put away. 
Giant Pascal seed should be sown from the 1st to the 
15th of April in hotbeds, same as the Golden Self-Blanch¬ 
ing. Plants should be set in the field from June 10th to 
July 1st, in single rows, about 8 inches apart in the row, 
cultivating same as the Golden Self-Blanching. About 
October 10th or before freezing, it should be trenched 
and protected from freezing, when it will bleach and be 
ready for winter use. 
GIANT PASCAL (Special Home Grown Seed)— Pascal 
Celery Is a very important crop with local celery grow¬ 
ers and we have developed an excellent strain of this 
delicious vegetable. The plants are of dwarf stocky 
growth and do not develop soft stalks, nor seeders 
and blanches easily to a rich creamy white. May he 
used as wrapped celery for early fall use or for 
trenching for winter use. A dozen stalks trimmed ready 
for market often weighing 12 to 15 pounds. 
Giant Pascal, Special Dwarf Strain 
GIANT PASCAL (Special Tall Strain)— This is also local 
grown Pascal Celery seed, not as stocky as the dwarf 
strain, hut grows about 6 inches longer stalks, which 
are very brittle, free from soft stalks and seeders. 
GIANT PASCAL (French Seed)— Forms solid, crisp stalks 
of rich nutty flavor. It is of strong growth, blanches 
easily and is very brittle. A line keeper for mid-winter 
use.
