Early Snowball Cauliflower 
Celery must never 
suffer at any time for 
lack of water or con¬ 
tinuous cultivation. 
Golden Self-Blanching Celery 
CAULIFLOWER 
Blumenkohl Chou Fleur Coliflor Cavolfiore 
One packet will produce ample plants for the home-garden; one ounce 
3000 plants. 
Culture. Cauliflower needs a rich soil for its best development, enjoys a 
cool climate and plenty of moisture, and, consequently, it grows best in the 
spring and early summer. Its culture is the same as that for early Cabbage, 
making sure that the plants are well developed, stocky, and healthy before 
being set out. The heads should be blanched by drawing the inside leaves over 
them after they are well developed. 
Early Favorite. A sure-heading early variety which succeeds in most 
soils. The heads are crisp, delightfully flavored, but not as firm and 
solid as those of Early Snowball. 
Early Snowball. This is the most generally grown and useful outdoor 
Cauliflower for this climate. Sown early and well cared for, it will 
produce an excellent early crop of uniformly white heads of fine size, 
which remain firm and solid for a long time. 
CELERY 
Sellerie Celeri Apio Sedano 
One packet produces sufficient plants for the home-garden; one ounce, 
10,000 plants. 
Culture. Sow in midspring and transplant the seedlings, as soon as they 
can be handled, 4 inches apart each way. When the plants are 6 to 8 inches 
tall, trim the tops back and set out in rich ground, 6 to 8 inches apart in the 
row with 2 to 3 feet between the rows. Cultivate thoroughly and towards 
autumn, hill up to blanch the stems. 
Easy-Blanching. Vigorous plants; medium-sized stalks, moderately 
tall, with white, crisp, thick, brittle stalks of aromatic flavor. Leaves 
are much crumpled and very decorative. Matures about two weeks 
later than Golden Self-Blanching. 
Emperor or Fordhook. One of the finest fall and winter varieties, the 
plants averaging 15 to 18 inches tall and so solid that they weigh 
fully two pounds each. After blanching, the stalks are pure silvery 
white, extremely thick, tender, crisp, and juicy. It will keep in 
perfect condition throughout the winter. 
Giant Pascal. A standard, well-known, delicious variety with immense 
light yellow stalks which keep in perfect condition throughout the 
winter. Rich, aromatic, and buttery, very tender and crisp. Stalks 
are green before blanching and do best when hilled up with soil. 
Golden Plume or Wonderful. Some gardeners consider this the best 
early Celery. It is quite resistant to blight and stores well. The 
medium-sized plants are stocky, with thick, full, creamy, hard stems 
that blanch readily and are of excellent quality. 
Golden Self-Blanching. The most popular early Celery because of its 
quick growth and heavy stalks, which are thick, heavy, and deep 
golden yellow. 
White Plume. Highly recommended to home gardeners because it is 
at its best immediately after digging and does not keep well. The 
tall, snow-white stalks are tender and crisp, entirely without fiber or 
strings. Flavor is rich and nut-like. Matures very early. 
CELERIAC 
Giant Prague. Valued for the turnip-like bulb underground. The 
stems above ground are of no special value. The roots will keep 
until late winter and are used in soups and salads. 
COLLARDS 
Georgia. A vigorous member of the cabbage family, growing 3 feet tall 
and producing succulent leaves which make delicious greens. Very 
popular in the South where cabbage does not develop well. 
CORN SALAD 
Large-leaved. Hardy little plants which make rosettes of tender, 
edible leaves, used as a substitute for lettuce in the late fall, winter, 
and spring. Sow in August and September and thin the plants 
6 inches apart in the row.
