CAULIFLOWER 
The same cultural methods that produce good cabbage 
will do likewise for Cauliflower. Being a heavy feeder 
Cauliflower requires a little more fertile soil, and, too, 
the heads should be protected from the sunlight by 
gathering the tops of the leaves together loosely in 
order to produce the pure white curd-like head. Seed 
sown in June, July and August and transplanted to 
the field will mature heads in Oct., Nov. and Dec. 
EARLY SNOWBALL —This is the earliest and one of 
the finest types for home forcing, early market and 
shipping. The plants are very dwarf with deep, 
smooth, snow white, compact heads 6 inches across 
and weighing 1*4 to 2 lbs., surrounded by a few short 
upright leaves. Pkt. 10c; / 4 oz. 75c; oz. $2.50; l / 4 lb. 
$7.50.

DANISH GIANT or DRYWEATHER This variety 
comes in as Snowball finishes. It is one of the most 
dependable varieties and is well adapted to dry 
weather conditions. Plants are short stemmed, but a 
little larger than Snowball. Fine, large, firm, white 
heads of excellent quality 6-7 inches across, common¬ 
ly weighing 1-2 lbs, are well protected by the large up¬ 
right leaves. Pkt. 10c; l / 4 oz. 50c; oz. $1.50; / 4 lb. $5.

are grown for us by a European specialist and has 
always given the very finest results.

solid, somewhat rough, white, and well protected by 
the foliage and of splendid quality. Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c;

CELERY 
Celery seed takes 2-3 weeks to germinate. It will ger¬ 
minate well at comparatively low temperatures. 
Plants require abundant moisture, but will not stand 
flooding. The soil should be rich, fine and loose. Sow 
seed in beds covering only M inch deep and prick out 
to 3 inches each way when seedlings have 3 or 4 
leaves. When 2%-3 months old transplant to field 
trenches that are 5-6 inches deep and 2 feet apart, 
spacing the plants 8-12 inches. Blanching is done by 
hilling up with soil, tying up with burlap or special 
blanching paper or with boards. For fall and winter 
crop plant from February to April. 
GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING (New Improved Tall) 
—Practically immune from “Black-Heart” because 
the heart is very compact and the tall erect stalks are 
close fitting. This variety is particularly desirable for 
long shipments as well as being highly prized in the 
home and market garden. The stalks are thick, 9-11 
inches long below the first leaf-knot, straight, quite 
broad, ivory white, crisp, and of a fine nut-like flavor.
