VEGETABLE SEEDS 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Small shoots like miniature cabbages clustered around a 
stem are the valuable part of this unique member of the cab¬ 
bage family. They are successfully grown wherever condi¬ 
tions are favorable for late cabbage and require the same 
method of culture. They mature best in the Autumn after the 
weather becomes cool. 
Dwarf Improved. Plants dwarf and compact. 20 inches tall. 
Very uniform; stem well covered with firm, round cabbage¬ 
like balls of 1% to iy 2 inches in diameter which mature in 
succession. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 25c; % lb. 90c, postpaid. 
CABBAGE 
For plants of early kinds, sow seed in January under glass, 
and prick out into flats about 2 inches apart. Transplant to 
open ground as early in the Spring as the soil can be prepared, 
setting iy 2 feet to 2 feet apart, in rows, which should be 3 feet 
apart. Cultivate frequently, and during dry weather water 
copiously. Late Cabbage seed should be sown in drills in open 
ground during April and May, and transplanted in June or 
July. Fertilize heavily, using 400 pounds Nitrate of Soda per 
acre in three dressings, one-third when plants are set out, and 
two-thirds a month apart later. Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 20c; *4 lb. 70c; 
1 lb. $1.75. 
Chinese Improved or Petsai. This exceptionally fine vegetable 
is rapidly growing in public favor. Its growth, which resembles 
the Cos lettuce, has long heads and crisp leaves. Very mild 
and pleasant flavor served as a salad or cooked. 
Copenhagen Market. Distinctly and uniformly early. Splen¬ 
did for early market and shipment; proving valuable as early 
kraut variety. Plants small, compact, allowing very close 
planting. Stem short; heads uniformly round; firm; become 
6 to 7 inches in diameter. Weight, 3% to 4 pounds. Interior 
clear white and of excellent quality. 
Danish Ball Head. With the exception of Hollander, this is 
the best late Cabbage. The plants are medium sized with short 
stem. Heads large; flattened globe shape; become 8 to 9 inches 
across, 6 to 7 inches deep, and weigh 7 to 9 pounds. Very firm 
and solid; of excellent quality; keep perfectly in storage until 
late Spring. 
Early Jersey Wakefield. Extremely early variety, very valu¬ 
able for home and market garden as well as for shipment. 
Plants very small and compact, allowing close planting; stem 
short. Heads firm and conical; usually 7 inches long, 5 inches

valuable for early market and shipping. Plants very small and 
compact; stem short. Heads uniformly round; firm, commonly 
6 inches in diameter and weigh 3 pounds.

large and flat, but deep; become 12 to 14 inches across, 7 inches 
deep, and weigh 12 to 14 pounds or more; firm and of good 
quality. 
CELERY 
Sow from February to May in drills 1 foot apart. Later, 
usually in June, transplant to rows 3 feet apart and 6 inches 
apart in row. Rows should be furrowed out so plants may be 
set 6 inches deep. Later, soil may be banked against rows for 
blanching, even so-called self-blanching varieties needing the 
cool, moist soil to render the stalks crisp and tender, but this 
should not be done until a few weeks before harvesting. One 
ounce of seed will produce five thousand plants. 
Golden Plume or Wonderful. Early and very desirable for 
home and market garden. Plants medium sized; stocky, full 
hearted, and compact. Thick solid stalks blanch readily and 
are of the finest table quality. Pkt. 5c; oz. 75; K4 lb. $2.25.

sirable for home and market garden. Plants fairly tall and 
compact with firm stalks, 26 to 28 inches tall, which blanch 
readily and are of splendid quality. Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c; % lb. $1.75.

Sow seed at the same season and give same treatment as 
common Celery. Transplant to moist, rich soil, in rows 2 feet 
apart and 6 inches apart in row. Give thorough culture. It 
is not necessary to earth up or handle the plants. After the 
roots have attained a diameter of 2 inches, they are fit for use.

Celery producing large tubers of nearly globular shape and 
comparatively smooth surface. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; M lb. 75c. 
CAULIFLOWER 
The same methods that produce good Cabbage will grow good 
Cauliflower. The only great difference is that Cauliflower 
heads must be protected from sunlight so as to make sure of 
the desirable white curd. Gather the tops of the leaves together 
loosely as soon as the heads begin to form. In shutting off 
the light, it is important not to cramp the heads. 
Danish Giant, Dry Weather. One of the most dependable in 
adverse, dry weather. Plants dwarf, short stemmed; larger 
than Early Snowball. Heads large, 6 to 7 inches across, com¬ 
monly weigh 2 pounds. White with tinge of cream; of splendid
