CAULIFLOWER 
For spring crops only the extra early dwarf 
varieties should be selected and seed sown in 
hot beds early in February, transplanting the 
young plants to the garden early in April, when 
the trees are starting out in leaf. For main or 
fall crop seed should be sown about June 1st, 
and young plants set out the latter part of July. 
Improved Pekin—A Chinese celery cabbage 
resembling both celery and cos lettuce. The 
heads are tall and cylindrical, usually being 18 
inches in height, but often reaching two feet. 
It is a sure heading type, and the flavor is very 
fine. It is a far better storage keeper than 
Wong Bok. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 18c; J4 lb., 45c; 1 
lb., $1.35. 
Chihli—Chinese Cabbage 
Early and very sure heading. Head becomes 
18 to 20 inches tall, 3 l / 2 to 4 inches thick, ta¬ 
pered near tip, very firm, well blanched, crisp, 
tender, and sweet. Superior to Chinese Im¬ 
proved or Pe Tsai. Pkt., 7c; 1 oz., 20c; !4 lb., 
50c; 1 lb., $1.40. 
CRESS 
Curled or Pepper Grass—The leaves of this 
small salad are much frilled or curled, and are 
used for garnishing. It is also desirable with let¬ 
tuce, to the flavor of which its warm, pungent 
taste makes a most agreeable addition. The 
plant is of rapid growth, about one foot high. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 'A lb., 25c; 1 lb., 65c. 
True Water Cress—This is a distinct variety 
of cress with small, oval leaves. It thrives best 
when its roots and stems are submerged in water. 
A fair growth may be obtained in soil which is 
kept wet but does best when grown along moist 
banks or in tubs in water-covered soil. It is one 
of the most delicious of small salads and should 
be planted wherever a suitable place can be found. 
Pkt., 8c; oz., 25c; J4 lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.30.

Gurney’s Earliest Market 
Cauliflower may be grown anywhere, and Gur¬ 
ney’s Early Market Cauliflower is the easiest 
to grow. This wonderful new short-stemmed, 
large-headed, heavy-leafed Cauliflower was of¬ 
fered by us in 1910 lor the first time,and we wish 
to say to all lovers of this delicious vegetable that 
you can grow these as easily as you can grow the 
cabbage. It is a sure heading variety, nearly 
every plant making a good, solid head. It is de¬ 
sirable for market gardeners on account of earli¬ 
ness and clear white color, which create an 
unusual demand for it. Pkt., 12c; l / 2 oz., 70c; 
1 oz., $1.20; J/ 4 lb., $4.25. 
Early Snowball 
This is a popular extra early strain of dwarf, 
compact growth. Under favorable circumstances 
nearly every plant will make a fine solid head of 
good size. It is valuable for both early and late. 
Pkt., 10c; 'A oz., 60c; oz., $1.00; !4 lb., $3.50. 
Gurney’s Early Favorite 
The best sort for inexperienced growers, as it 
will head when conditions are unfavorable. It 
may be used either for an early or a late crop and 
is ready in about 110 days. It forms large, firm, 
fine-grained heads, very white in color. Pkt., 8c; 
y 2 oz., 40c; 1 oz., 75c; 'A lb., $2.35. 
CELERIAC 
A variety of celery having turnip-shaped roots, 
which, when cooked and sliced in vinegar, make 
a most excellent salad. 
Large Smooth Prague—This is the largest 
and best varietv grown, and grows to a large size. 
Pkt., 7c; oz., 20c; J4 lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.45. 
COTTON 
Do you know you can raise cotton in the 
North? I don’t mean you should go into it on a 
commercial scale and compete with the Southern 
cotton grower. He has trouble enough without 
that — But why not raise a few plants for a 
novelty and to show your friends and neighbors? 
This plant is not only interesting but ornamental. 
Early maturing Cotton. Pkt., 8c; 1 oz. 15c. 
GET ACQUAINTED 
COLLECTION

come change for the table, both in summer and 
winter.

CHIVES (Schnittlauch) 
Every vegetable grower should become ac¬ 
quainted with this plant. It is extremely hardy, 
being a perennial; will grow for years. The 
green leaves are highly prized for seasoning 
soups, salads and stews. The provident house¬ 
wife always has a few clumps in the garden. 
The flavor resembles very much that of an onion. 
Pkt., 8c; 'A oz., 20c; oz., 35c. 
CITRON 
They are used for making preserves, and I 
guess every housewife knows of numerous other 
ways to use them. They are very valuable fruits. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 25c.; 1 lb., 75c; 
5 lbs., $3.25.
