“BEST POSSIBLE” SEEDS

CAULIFLOWER 
CHOU FLEUR CAVOLO FLORE 
Sow seed in open ground or cold frame about 
the middle of May or the first of June on good 
soil. Transplant to rich moist soil. Cauliflower 
will not head in hot, dry weather and sowings 
must be timed to bring the heads to maturity be¬ 
fore the hot summer weather. Water frequently 
and after the head begins to form draw the 
leaves together and tie to protect them from the 
sun. Cut the heads while the "curd" is compact 
and firm as after they separate the head is not 
much good 
One ounce will produce 2,000 plants. 
Danish Giant or Dry Weather —Recommended for 
localities subject to long dry seasons as it will 
produce heads of fine quality where all else 
fails. 67 days 
Super Snowball —Extremely heavy and large 
and is characterized by the fact that the entire 
crop matures at very nearly the same time. 
(See page 2.) 54 days. 
Earliest Snowball (Extra Early Strain) —An extra 
early, good-sized and delicately textured strain 
of Cauliflower. Erect, sturdy, compact plants 
permitting close planting and intensive culti¬ 
vation and sure heading, minimizing the gam¬ 
ble of setting out Cauliflower. We believe that 
this strain will give satisfaction to the most 
exacting grower. 58 days.

Culture—Sow the seed in the open ground as 
early as the ground can be worked. The seed is 
slow to germinate and should be firmed into the 
soil rather than covered, and the soil where it is 
planted should be kept moist. When transplant¬ 
ing, clip off the tops and the ends of the roots to 
make the plants stocky. Rows should be four or 
five feet apart, and plants five or six inches apart 
in the row. After planting is completed cultivate 
frequently. About the middle of August begin to 
draw the earth up to the plants to blanch or 
whiten them. Continue hilling or banking them 
at intervals until cold weather, when they should 
be taken up and put in a pit or cellar for winter 
use. To get very early plants, seed should be 
started in boxes or hotbeds, and if grown too 
large before time to set them out in the open, 
clip off the tops to make them grow stocky. 
An ounce of seed will produce 3,000 plants. 
Golden Self Blanching —Plants compact and 
stocky, white yellowish-green foliage. Stalks 
perfectly solid, of a fine nut-like flavor, good- 
sized and when blanched are a handsome 
golden-yellow. 120 days. 
Easy Blanching —Resembles Golden Self Blanch¬ 
ing but the leaves are green and the stalks 
blanch white instead of yellow. More hardy 
and less liable to blight. About two weeks 
later. One of the easiest to blanch and of the 
best quality. 125 days. 
Wonderful or Golden Plume —This fine sort is an 
improved Golden Self-Blanching, maturing 
slightly earlier and is resistant to attacks of 
blight and rust. The plants are compact, stocky 
and of vigorous growth with a very full heart 
which bleaches quickly to a rich golden yel¬ 
low and has a fine nutty flavor. We highly 
recommend our stock of this variety. 115 days. 
Giant Pascal —Green leaved, blanching to a 
beautiful light green. Very solid and crisp. 
Large growing sort for fall and winter use. 
135 days.

Celeriac —An improved variety of turnip rooted 
celery producing large roots of nearly globular 
shape. Splendid for soups and stews. Grown 
like celery. 120 days. 
Utah or Salt Lake —A broad, thick, well-rounded 
green Celery, maturing about 10 days earlier 
than Giant Pascal with a rich, nutty flavor. 
This is a popular western variety and its very 
thick, broad, short stalks should take well in 
the east. (See Page 3.) 125 days.
