Cauliflower 
SNOWBALL SPF^CIAL STRAIN No. 4—Strain No. 4 
matures a week to ten days earlier than Strain 
No. 5. It is of the self-protecting type. Heads 
very uniform so the crop can be cut practically all 
at 'the same time. Plants vigorous, heads are large, 
compact and quite uniform in size. 
IMPROVED SELF-PROTECTING SNOWBALL—This 
is the most improved and best type of Cauliflower 
on the market today. The originator claims this 
strain possesses all the good qualities of the Hen¬ 
derson's strain and in addition thereto has a 
heavier foliage, longer leaves that stand up per¬ 
fectly straight, and so close together and so 
crowded that the inner leaves are unable to grow 
out, thereby forcing them to grow in a whorl over 
the head, covering it in a natural way shutting 
out the sun and light, making it self-protecting.

DANISH PERFECTION—This strain is of Danish 
origin, is very hardy with an abundance of leaves 
which protect the large solid, snow white head 
from the sun. It is quick maturing, heads are 
pure white, solid and Arm. May be used for 
early planting but is specially recommended for 
the late fall crop. 
Cauliflower to be readily salable must be kept 
clean and free from insect damages. Insects 
that attack Cauliflower are Aphis and Green 
Worms. For Aphis control use a 4 per cent 
Nicotine Dust, for Worms a standard Rotenone 
or Pyrethrum Dust. These do not leave any 
poisonous residue. Do not use any Arsenial or 
Flourine Compounds. NEW GARDEN GUARD 
is a Rotenone Dust that our Cauliflower Grow¬ 
ers find very effective.

Celery 
(Sedano, Apio, Sellerie) 
CULTURE —One ounce of seed will produce 15,000 
plants. Golden Self-Blanching Seed should be sown in hot¬ 
beds about March 1st, covering the seed very lightly. 
Keep the seed-bed moist, giving it plenty of air. Keep 
the tops of the plants sheared off, which will cause them 
to grow stockier with better roots. The plants should be 
ready for planting in the fields by May 10th or 15th, and 
all should be out by June 15th. When ready for the 
field, set the plants in double rows 3 or 4 feet apart, and 
about 8 inches apart in the rows. Care should be taken 
to press the soil firmly around the roots of the plants. 
If the roots are very long they should be trimmed off to 
about 3 inches in length. This will facilitate handling 
them, and cause the plants to be set in the ground in 
much better condition. Keep the soil well stirred between 
the rows and around the plants. A good rule is to plow 
or work the ground every time it is watered. Great care 
should be used in watering, or the ground will sour and 
cause the celery to blight or rust. Celery requires water 
often, but not a great deal at a time. It should be planted 
on ground with sufficient fall to permit the water running 
off quickly. When about ready to harvest, it may be 
blanched with either boards or dirt, boards being prefer¬ 
able in warm weather, and dirt in cool weather. When 
desired for winter use, it should not be bleached in the 
field, as it will bleach sufficiently in the cellar or pit, 
after being put away. 
Giant Pascal seed should be sown from the 1st to the 
15th of April in hotbeds, same as the Golden Self-Blanch¬ 
ing. Plants should be set in the field from June 10th to 
July 1st, in single rows, about 8 inches apart in the row, 
cultivating same as the Golden Self-Blanching. About 
October 10th or before freezing, it should be trenched and 
protected from freezing, when it will bleach and be ready 
for winter use. 
GIANT PASCAL (Special Dwarf Strain)—Pascal Cel¬ 
ery is a very important crop with local celery 
growers and we have developed an excellent strain 
of this delicious vegetable. The plants are of 
dwarf stocky growth and do not develop soft 
stalks, nor seeders and blanches easily to a rich 
creamy white. May be used as wrapped celery for 
early fall use or for trenching for winter use. A 
dozen stalks trimmed ready for market often 
weighing 12 to 15 pounds. 
GIANT PASCAL (Special Tall Strain)—This is also 
local grown Pascal Celery seed, not as stocky as 
the dwarf strain, but grows about 6 inches longer 
stalks, which are very brittle, free from soft stalks 
and seeders. 
Giant Pascal, Special Dwarf Strain 
GIANT PASCAL (French Seed)—Forms solid, crisp 
stalks of rich nutty flavor. It is of strong growth, 
blanches easily and is very brittle. A fine keeper 
for mid-winter use.
