EARLY SNOWBALL. The best and most 
popular early variety grown. There is a 
vast difference in the strains of this variety 
offered, but what we offer is the best im¬ 
ported stock. Those who have had trouble 
with cauliflower should try this Snowball. 
It will make uniformly fine heads even un¬ 
der adverse conditions. Per package, 25c; 
■4 oz., $1.15; oz., $4.25; A lb., $15.

leaves and fine white heads. About a week 
later than Early Snowball and preferable in 
most of California. For winter planting.

early and almost as good as the best quality

for the south. The large leaves protect the

Golden Self Bleaching Celery 
Celery 
Plant seed in early spring in rich, mellow 
soil, rather sandy, in a frame or open ground. 
As soon as the plants are six inches high, 
transplant them four inches each way. Later 
transplant in the field in rows four feet apart 
in soil that is naturally rich or that has been 
fertilized well with rich manure. It is not ad¬ 
visable to plant celery in furrows in Southern 
California or to heap the plants up with earth, 
as this causes them to rust. It is far better 
to plant self-blanching varieties and to tie up 
a few plants at a time before using.

oz., 80c; lb., $2.65; lb., $10.

in order to obtain good results. The follow¬ 
ing varieties are grown especially for us by 
Eastern specialists. Write for quotations by
