Re! iable Garden Seed 5 
Elarly Snowball Cauliflower. 
CAULIFLOWER 
CUXiTURX!. Cauliflower are partial to a rich fibrous loam 
well charged with humus. An occasional light dressing of 
niti’ate of soda and potash are beneficial. Make the soil as fine 
as possible for evei'y transplanting, and do not allow the 
young plants to bceome checked at any time for want of water. 
For spring and early summer use, sow in January or February 
in hotbed, and transplant to coldframes 2 or 3 inches apart, 
when sufficiently large; and to the garden 24 to 80 inches 
each way, as soon as the ground is warm enough. For late 
autumn crops sow in the early part of June, and transplant 
in July. When the heads are formed, tie the leaves up over 
them to blanch. 
Danish Giant py Dry Weather. (100 days). A late variety 
and a splendid drought resister. Heads are large and while 
not so close as Snowball or Erfurt it makes a splendid pick¬ 
ling type. Sure header even in dry weather. 
Early Snowball. ^ 9 q jays). Very early, and one of the 
surest to head. If seed is sown March 1st, large-sized heads 
will be produced early in June. Its dwarf habit of growth 
renders it one of the best for forcing under glass. Valuable 
for late planting also.

POPCORN 
Winter nights before the hearth fire or around the kitchen 
range, are incomplete without the scent and cheery miKic of 
popping Corn. The popping ceremony is not to be overlooked 
as a social function of importance; while the fluffy, snow- 
white, salted, buttered popped Corn is both healthy food and 
dainty refreshment. Also, somebody has to provide raw ma¬ 
terial for the countless popcorn stands and wagons—why not 
you ? 
CUI.TUBE. Sow in rows 3 feet apart soon as Beans can 
be planted, using more than 1 row, to insure pollenization, 
covering 2 to 3 inches deep with fine soil. Thin the plants to 
stand 10 or 12 inches apart in the row. The ears should be 
thoroughly dry before attempting to pop. 
Australian Hulless. Variously known as “Tom Thumb” or 
“Bumble Bee” Popcorn, distinguished by an absence of hull 
or shell when popped. Dwarf growing but a heavy yielder 
of short, chunky ears. The kernels are pearly white, un¬ 
usually long and slim, of splendid popping quality and ap¬ 
pealing flavor. 
Queen’s Golden. Stalk 5 to 6 feet; 2 or 3 large ears each. 
Kernels rich yellow but pop out pure white over an inch in 
CULTURE. Sow in open ground as soon as the soil can 
be perfectly worked ; roll or firm the lightly covering soil to 
retain moisture, as the seed is slow to germinate. Sowing in 
rows 10 to 12 inches apart is pref¬ 
erable to broadcasting; this means 
allowing cultivation to be kept up. 
Transplant in July to a previously 
prepared bed made con¬ 
siderably richer than 
seed bed, 6 to 8 inches 
apart in the row. Single 
rows should be 4 feet 
apart, but twin-rows 10 
inches apart (doubling 
returns with the same 
labor) should skip 6 
feet. 
Columbia. (110 days). 
An early maturing 
sort, of medium 
height but very stocky 
and heavy, the foliage 
a distinct light green 
tinged yellow. The 
stalks are thick, al¬ 
most round, a rich 
yellow tint, unsur¬ 
passed in quality.
