Descriptive Seed List for 1936 
CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—A good, extra rich soil is essential for the successful cultivation of this most delicious 
vegetable; our most experienced cultivators, however, acknowledge the advantage of a cool, moist season. 
Pursue the same general directions as recommended for growing cabbage, watering liberally during the 
dry weather. An occasional application of liquid manure is beneficial. 
HENDERSON’S EARLY SNOWBALL. The 
best known and most used of all the early 
cauliflowers. A great favorite with the market 
gardeners; for both early and late planting. 
Produces beautiful snow-white heads of the 
most delicious flavor. Pkg., 15c; Za oz., 60c; 
oz., $ 2 . 00 . 
EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT. This 
is the choicest selected strain of the Erfurt 
type and is very sure to make nice heads. 
Small leaves, large heads. Pkg., 15c; Za oz., 
60c; oz., $ 2 . 00 . 
DANISH GIANT. An excellent dry wea¬ 
ther variety, with large, pure white solid 
heads; two weeks later than the Erfurt, but 
will head up better in dry weather. Pkg., 
15c; Za oz., 60c; oz., $ 2 . 00 . 
ALGIERS. One of the best kinds of late 
cauliflower. The plants are large and up¬ 
right, with the leaves protecting the heads 
so that this sort will stand the frosts that 
would ruin many other varieties. A great 
favorite with market gardeners who desire 
a late marketing sort. Pkg., 10c; J /4 oz., 
30c; oz., $1.00; Za lb., $3.00. 
VIETCH’S AUTUMN GIANT. Large, late, white, compact heads, well protected by foliage. Pkg., 
10c; i / 2 oz., 30c; oz., 50c; Za lb- $1-75; |/ 2 ib., $3.25; 1 lb., $ 6 . 
CELERY 
GOLDEN PLUME. A yellow celery resembling the Golden 
Self-Branching in several respects. Its height is about the same 
but it is about two weeks earlier. It also makes a larger bunch 
which blanches easier and whiter. It is especially recommended 
for the home garden on account of its hardiness, easiness to 
blanch and its fine quality. Pkg., 10c; oz., 50c. 
WHITE PLUME. Most popular with white stalks and 
leaves. Very ornamental. Does not require so much banking up 
for blanching as the other kinds. Pkg., 5c; oz., 25c. 
GOLDEN 5ELF-BLANCHING CELERY. A good variety, es¬ 
pecially for later crop. The plant is naturally golden-yellow, 
both leaves and stems. Forms a small bunch. Pkg., 5c; oz., 30c. 
WINTER QUEEN. A medium large solid, crisp celery that 
owing to its long keeping qualities makes a fine sort for late fall 
and winter use. Good flavor. Pkg., 5c; oz., 25c. 
CELERIAC 
CELERIAC (Turnip-rooted Celery). This is distinct in 
growth from the tall celeries. The edible portion is the large, 
swollen root, which somewhat resembles a turnip, and is highly 
esteemed for boiling or for flavoring soups, stews and other 
dishes. The plants should be started in the same manner as 
other celeries, and when of sufficient size, transplant to stand 
eight or ten inches apart each way in rich soil, hoeing fre¬ 
quently to promote a strong growth. As roots are produced 
entirely below the surface, plants do not need earthing up. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c. 
CHINESE CABBAGE 
CHIHLI. A quite distinct early variety of great merit which we think superior to all other types. 
Heads are long, almost cylinderical, blanched pure white, very solid and of superior quality. The 
upright growth and the shape of the heads permit closer planting than of other kinds. Although of 
recent introduction, it is already very popular on most markets. It is important to sow at the right 
time in July and August as Spring sowings will bolt to seed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; Za lb., 75c.
