Cauliflower 
CULTURE.—For Spring and early Summer crop, sow in 
March or early in April in hotbed and transplant in cold 
frame when sufficiently large to handle. As soon as dan¬ 
ger of hard freezing is over set in open ground in rows 
2% feet apart and 18 inches apart in the row. The plants 
will endure a light frost. The soil for Cauliflower should 
be like that for cabbage, but it is better if made richer. 
One ounce will produce 1,500 plants. 
EXTRA EARLY SNOWBALL 
Unquestionably the earliest maturing strain of the true 
short-leaved Snowball type of Cauliflower. Admirably 
adapted for forcing or Wintering over for early crop, and 
the most popular sort for these purposes, also one of the 
best sorts for late Summer and Fall crop. The plants are 
compact, with few short outside leaves, and are well suited 
for close planting. The heads are of medium to large size, 
solid, compact, round, very white and curdlike, and are 
developed earlier than those of any other sort. Pkts. 25c 
oz. $1.50. 
DROUTH RESISTING 
Large, white solid heads, maturing a little later than the 
Snowball. The best for hot, dry weather. Pkts. 25c, oz. 
$1.50. ' 
Chives 
This popular kitchen garden plant is indispensible for 
flavoring certain dishes. It imparts a mild onion taste, 
not, however, to such an extent as to render it objection- 
able. The plants are hardy and will last for years. Don’t 
cut the plant too close when gathering. If desired for 
" 'liter use, lift the plant in a pot or box and place in a 
sunny window in the kitchen. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c, *4 lb. $1.25. 
Chickory 
WILTLOOF or FRENCH ENDIVE 
Grown for its use as a salad, the blanched head resem¬ 
bling cos lettuce in appearance. Eaten raw or as a salad, 
also sometimes cooked like Endive. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, *4 
lb. 35c, lb. $1.25. 
Corn Salad 
A favorite salad plant and very hardy. Sow in August 
or September, and protect with leaves during Winter. It 
can be gathered in the Spring very early. Sown in April, 
it is soon ready for use. The leaves are sometimes boiled 
and served as spinach. Three ounces of seed to 100 feet 
of row. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, 14 lb. 35c, lb. $1.25. 
Chervil 
An aromatic plant, used extensively in Europe as a salad 
seasoner. It adds a flavor that is entirely its own. When 
chopped fine and scattered on buttered potatoes it is a rare 
treat. v S° w it in a row like parsley, which it somewhat 
resembles. For a continuous crop, sow every 2 weeks. 
One ounce will sow a row 25 feet long 
Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, 14 lb. 35c.
