EARLY WINNINGSTADT. A decidedly pointed head of 
good size and fine quality—the most sharply pointed of 
all Cabbages. One of the hardiest varieties, resists cold, 
wet, insects and pests to a degree which makes it very 
desirable. We recommend it as one of the best varieties. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; / 4 lb., 80c; lb., #2.25. 
MAMMOTH ROCK RED. A good variety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
25c; >/ 4 lb., 85c; lb., #2.50. Postpaid. 
CHINESE. This variety of cabbage is a growing favorite 
with the poultry raiser, as it yields an abundance of suc¬ 
culent leaves for feeding. Our seed is imported stock. 
CULTURE. Grow it as you do lettuce; transplant 10 
inches apart in rows 12 inches apart. 
Boiled with beef or pork it is excellent, having a much 
more pleasing flavor than cabbage. The inner leaves make 
better cold slaw. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; Va lb., 85c; lb., #2.50.

CAULIFLOWER 
COLIFLOR 
The culture of Cauliflower is very similar to that of Cab¬ 
bage, but a trifle more care must be used to see that the 
plants never receive any setback in their growth. Cauli¬ 
flower requires an abundant and uniform, but not excessive, 
supply of moisture. The land should be well drained and 
irrigations should be frequent. 
Plant the seeds in beds in June for the fall crop and 
transplant about the first of August. For winter crops seed 
may be sown in December, and the plants set in place any 
time during February. 
EARLY SNOWBALL (European Grown). This variety is 
the standard by which all others are judged. It makes 
the smoothest and most solid heads, but the growth is 
not very vigorous and it is often necessary to tie the 
leaves over the head for protection. There are many 
strains of this variety of varying degrees of excellence and 
at varying prices. Our seed is grown in Denmark and we 
find ft well suited to local conditions. Pkt., 10c; oz., #2.00; 
l / 4 lb , #6.75. Postpaid.

riety, maturing between the Snowball and Late Pearl. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., #2.00; Va lb., #6.75: Postpaid. 
LATE PEARL. Late Pearl Cauliflower attains a height of 
three to four feet. Produces large firm, white heads. Plant 
seed during July to harvest in January and February.

APIO 
Good money has been made in the past few years in the 
growing of winter celery in this section and we recommend 
our direct importation of FRENCH GROWN GOLDEN 
SELF BLANCHING. 
Sow the seed in frame or open ground. When about 
three inches high, transplant about four inches apart in well 
pulverized soil to make the plants more stocky; water and 
protect until well rooted; then transplant in furrows or 
trenches about 8 or 10 inches deep, six inches apart in the 
trench. To blanch, draw the earth to the roots from time 
to time as the plants grow, thus filling up the trench. The 
soil should be thoroughly enriched by the liberal use of well 
rotted manure. One ounce of seed will produce about 5,000 
plants. 
GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING, FRENCH GROWN (Tall 
or New Type French). This new type is entirely different 
from the old dwarf type, which it has practically super¬ 
seded in this section. It is fully a month earlier; blanches 
easier and whiter and makes a larger and much taller 
plant. We do not particularly recommend it for long 
distance shipping, but for local market and shipping com¬ 
paratively short distances it is very good. This celery is 
a rapid grower, the outer leaves growing quite tall. Care 
should be used that it is not marketed too soon before the 
heart is matured enough. Pkt., 10c; oz., #1.50; /a lb., 
#3.35. Postpaid. 
GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING, FRENCH GROWN 
(Dwarf or Old Type). The old standard market and 
shipping variety. Foliage bright green tinged with yellow. 
Plants are stocky with broad, thick stqlks that easily 
blanch to a clear white. Pkt., 10c; oz., #1.25; 54 lb., 
#3.35. Postpaid.

Oxheart Carrots 
CARROTS 
ZANAHORIA 
CULTURE. Although carrots are hardy after the plant 
is established it is difficult to get a good stand unless the 
soil is well prepared and of such a nature that it will not 
bake, for the seeds are small and slow to germinate. 
Carrots are sown the year around in deeply tilled, sandy, 
loam soil. Sow one inch deep in rows 15 to 20 inches apart. 
Thin out to 4 inches apart when plants are two inches high. 
Keep well cultivated and irrigate every week. Four pounds 
will plant one acre, one ounce 100 feet of drill. 
CHANTENAY. A good general purpose variety; five or 
six inches long; stump rooted; about three inches thick at 
top; tapering slightly; bright orange color. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
15c; !4 lb., 40c; lb., #1.15. Postpaid.
