LARGE WHITE BELGIAN. Root is pure white with green above ground. Small 
top, flesh rather coarse; roots grow to a large size on light, rich ground, usually 
about one-third above the ground. 
Pkt. 5c., oz. 20c., 14 lb. 50c., lb. $1.75. 
LONG ORANGE IMPROVED. The roots of the improved strain of this variety 
we offer are very deep orange, long and comparatively thick, often twelve inches 
in length and three inches in diameter at the crown, tapering regularly to a point. 
The tops are rather large. This intermediate to late maturing sort is' suitable for 
table use as well as stock feeding, combining great productiveness with uniform 
shape where grown in light, deep, rich soil. When of size suitable for the table, 
the roots are tender and of good quality. 
Pkt. 10c., oz. 20c., Vt lb. 60c., lb. $2.25. 
NANTES HALF-LONG. The sweetest of all Carrots. Roots are smooth, almost 
cylindrical and of a bright orange color, growing about six inches long. The flesh 
is bright orange, becoming yellow in the center but without any distinct core; 
sweet and sugary; not apt to crack open while growing. This variety is of the 
finest quality and is one of the most symmetrical and handsome of the medium 
sized varieties. An excellent table sort and a heavy cropper. 
Pkt. 10c., oz. 30c., % lb. $1.00, lb. $3.00. 
CAULIFLOWER 
One ounce of seed produces about 2,000 plants. 
Culture. —Cauliflowers require very high cultivation, even more so than Cab¬ 
bage and plenty of moisture. There is no more delicious vegetable grown. Cold- 
frame plants are probably the best and hardiest for early crops; the frames, how¬ 
ever need rather more protection during cold nights than is required for Cab¬ 
bage plants. Seed sown in hotbeds in February will produce plants that are not 
inferior to coldframe plants. They should be transplanted once before setting in 
the open ground, and also should be gradually hardened by exposure; in this way 
they may be in condition to set out as early in April as the ground will permit. 
Set the early sorts about 2 feet by 15 inches, and cultivate the same as Cabbage. 
Where irrigation is practicable, great advantage is thus obtained during a drought. 
For late Cauliflower, sow seed in open ground from the middle of May to the 
middle of June, in hills the same as directed for late Cabbages. When the heads 
are forming, tie the leaves together at the top, thus avoiding the discoloration 
by exposure to the sun.

Fottler’s Champion Erfurt 1 ( J t £ d t ) ra 
have sold this strain of Cauliflower for many years, 
and it has invariably proved satisfactory. The 
heads are uniformly large, compact, white and well 
formed. We know of no variety that is its su¬ 
perior, and our largely increased sales from year 
to year are evidence that it is found to be reliable 
by our customers, many of whom use it in large 
quantities.

Foam It is of a dwarf and compact 
_ habit; medium-sized heads; firm 
and attractive in appearance. Unsurpassed in 
quality, almost a sure header; nearest to a 
snow-white head in Cauliflower. For forcing 
we do not think is it equaled. 
Pkt. 25c., Vi oz. $1.00, $4 oz. $2.00, oz. $3.50. 
OanicVi (Dry Weather .) The 
uanisn loant growth is very simi i ar t0 that 
of Early Dwarf Erfurt, but with heavier foliage, 
and is less liable to blight in hot weather. It 
has been grown with excellent results where 
other varieties fail to form heads, especially in 
locations subjected to long droughts.

EARLY DWARF ERFURT. One of the popu¬ 
lar varieties used in this section for the market 
garden. Plants are compact with few narrow, 
upright leaves, making it especially valuable for 
close planting and large yields. Heads are 
extra large size, pure white and averaging eight 
to nine inches in diameter. Market gardeners 
will find this variety runs very even in size.

ALGIERS. A large and popular late variety 
Largely grown for the New York markets.

Early Snowball, Henderson’s ^ s b;t d " a a n r ( j 
short outside leaves allow it being planted very 
close together. An extremely early variety pro¬ 
ducing magnificent white heads of finest quality. 
For market gardeners' use it is one of the most 
profitable. Excellent for family use.

quite compact.
