Cauliflower 
EARLY SNOWBALL. (55 days). Plants dwarf, with 
short, pale green leaves. Heads medium, firm, com' 
pact, solid, pure white, and of finest quality; a de' 
pendable Header. Well adapted to shipping. 
Chicory 
WITLOOF or FRENCH ENDIVE. Grown for its use 
as a salad, the blanched head resembling Cos Lettuce 
in appearance. The seed planted in the late spring 
gives parsnipdike roots by late autumn. The roots are 
then placed in earth where there is some heat, as in 
the greenhouse, boiler room, or a warm cellar. The 
root then throws out the blanched salad head. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 20c; M Ib., 50c. 
Collards 
TRUE GEORGIA or SOUTHERN. (80 days). Plant 
2 to 3 feet high, forming a cluster of tender, undu' 
lated leaves at tbe top of its rather long stem; used 
as “greens” in the South and West. 
BUNCOMBE or CABBAGE. A cross between Georgia 
Collards and Charleston Wakefield Cabbage, bred 
for the easy growth and hardiness of the Collard and 
the flavor and heading qualities of the Cabbage. It 
does not winter-kill with ice and snow and stands hot 
weather as well. Heads are rounded, not as firm as 
Cabbage but of delicious flavor. 
PRICE: Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; M lb., 50c. 
CHICAGO SNOWBALL. (57 days). For early fall 
crop this variety is without equal. Plant in open 
ground in April and transplant in June; crop will 
then mature in September, making excellent solid, 
large white heads. As its name indicates, this va¬ 
riety was developed for the finest possible results in 
the Chicago area. 
Cress 
CURLED or PEPPER GRASS. A small plant with 
frilled or curled leaves which are well liked when 
young for garnishing and for giving a warm pungent 
taste to lettuce. It grows best in cool weather and 
moist soil. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; M lb., 50c.

SUPER-SNOWBALL. (56 days). A highly desirable 
main crop variety, also used for early planting. Starts 
heading early and uniformly. Heads medium large, 
compact, very white. 
DANISH DRY WEATHER. (66 days.) Produces 
solid, pure white heads considerably 
larger than Early Snowball, but it is 
a week later. This variety is espe¬ 
cially adapted for growing in dry 
sections where nearly all other varie¬ 
ties fail to make good heads, but 
does equally well in all weather.

Culture. For very early Cauliflower sow in 
hotbed in January or February; transplant to 
flats or cold frames and set out as soon as the 
ground is warm in the spring, setting 2 or 2 V 2 
feet apart each way. One ounce grows 2500 
plants and 4 to 6 ounces plant an acre. Cauli¬ 
flower cannot be expected to mature satisfac¬ 
torily in hot, dry weather, so must have plenty 
of water especially when the plants are heading. 
When the head appears, tie the outer leave* 
over the head or pin these leaves with wood 
pins or beef skewers so the leaves will shade 
and blanch the head and then cut the head be¬ 
fore it starts to branch. Remember that all 
enemies of cabbage emphatically attack Cauli¬ 
flower, and are to he combated in a like manner. 
For early fall and late Cauliflower, plant in open 
ground in April, transplanting in June, giving 
same cultivation you would cabbage. The num¬ 
ber of days given is the time required from 
letting plants to mature heads. 
TRUE WATER. A distinct variety of Cress with small, 
oval leaves. It thrives best when its roots and stems 
are submerged in water, although a fair growth may 
be obtained in soil which is kept wet. The seed is 
usually sown and lightly covered in gravelly, mucky 
lands along the borders of small, rapid streams. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 50c; Ib., ^1.50.
