Cauliflower, Breck’s White Bouquet 
CAULIFLOWER 
There is really no trick to growing perfect 
heads of Cauliflower in your own garden, 
and what pride and satisfaction there is in 
overcoming the popular idea that this is a 
difficult crop for the home gardener. It 
isn’t. Cauliflower is a splendid secondary 
crop to follow early plantings of peas and 
bush beans. Plenty of water and a well- 
fertilized garden soil is the answer to the 
successful growing of this delicious vege¬ 
table. 
One ounce of seed produces about 2500 plants 
BRECK’S WHITE BOUQUET. Those 
who have grown it for early or for main 
crop, private and market gardeners 
alike, agree that Breck’s White Bouquet 
Cauliflower has no peer. It will head 
when other varieties fail; moreover, it 
is a strain well adapted to forcing under 
glass during Winter and Spring. The 
plants are comparatively short-stemmed, 
have small leaves, and produce medium 
to large, close-grained, snowy white 
heads of the finest quality. We feel 
confident that no better strain has ever 
been developed, and that it is the earliest 
and most reliable variety for New Eng¬ 
land. Pkt. 25c; Moz. $3.00; oz. $5.00; 
MIb. $12.00.

pact, and the heads uniform, compact,

and earliest selection of the well-known 
variety Snowball. Our stock is the best 
selection of a Danish crop. Small, snow- 
white heads. Pkt. 25c; oz. $5.00; MIb.

CELERY 
Celery from September to Thanksgiving 
is easy to have, and it is just another of 
those vegetables that is so much better for 
being eaten “right out of the garden.” Like 
the pig, every part of it is useful—the 
blanched and crisp stalks as a table delicacy, 
the tops and the roots for soup, stews, and 
for flavoring sauces. 
One ounce of seed produces about 3000 plants
