THE BEST CAULIFLOWER-ALL POSTPAID 
Early Chief Cauliflower 
The Earliest Grown— A Sure Header—Drought Resister—Large Solid Heads 
of Snowy Whiteness 
The best variety for either market or family purposes, by far the earliest 
and surest large header and the most profitable grown. It is of very compact 
growth, with very short stalks. The plants can be set very close together, 
and the leaves growing upward naturally protect the heads, which are hand¬ 
some beyond description, measuring fully 12 to 15 inches across, and even 
more under careful cultivation; they are pure snow-white, very close, com¬ 
pact and of. the most superior quality. The heads being so extremely solid 
and deep, weigh heavier than any other early variety. It can be used for 
early or late planting, for forcing or the open ground; used any way, we 
recommend it with the full assurance that it will give entire satisfaction and 
that it is not surpassed by any other variety in earliness and sure heading. 
Comparative tests have proved conclusively that Chief matures earlier, is a 
surer and heavier cropper and produces more marketable heads per acre than 
any other Cauliflower of equal size.

CELERY 
Golden Yellow Self-Blanching 
Golden Self-Blanching 
Grown from Originator's French Grown Seed; Delicious Quality; Dwarf; Large Bunches; 
Broad, Heavy Stalks; Rich, Golden Yellow Color. 
This is the strain used by gardeners and extensive growers in every large Celery district in the 
United States. No other strain of seed gives such universal satisfaction and is without question the 
most popular and dependable early strain of Celery grown. The plants are medium sized, stalky, and 
the stalks crisp, solid, heavy and of a yellowish-green color when young, but as they mature the 
inner stems and leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow, which adds much to their attractiveness and 
makes the work of blanching much easier. The handsome color, crispness, tenderness, freedom from 
stringiness and fine nutty flavor of this variety make it only necessary to be tried in order to estab¬ 
lish it as the standard of excellence as an early sort. Pkt. 10 c; V 2 oz. 45c; oz. 80c V 4 lb. $2.60; Vz lb.
