Cauliflower 
(Continued) 
SUPER SNOWBALili—This is the earliest cauliflow¬ 
er, with grood large firm heads. Heads uniform; 
leaves are quite large and vigorous and curl over 
the heads so as to protect them from the sun and 
keep them white until ready to use. Growers who 
want the largest and finest cauliflower early in 
the season will find the Super Snowball a most 
satisfactory kind. It requires good rich land and 
favorable growing conditions for best results. 
IMPROVER SEUP-PROTECTTING SNOWBAL.U—This 
is the most improved and best type of Cauliflower | 
on the market today. The originator claims this 
strain possesses all the good qualities of the Hen¬ 
derson's strain and in addition thereto has a heav¬ 
ier foliage, longer leaves that stand up perfectly , 
straight, and so close together and so crowded j 
that the inner leaves are unable to grow out, 
thereby forcing them to grow in a whorl over the 
head, covering it in a natural way shutting out j 
the sun and light, making it self-protecting. |

Celery 
(Sedano, Apio, Sellerie) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed will produce 15,000 
plants. Golden Self-Blanching Seed should be sown in hot¬ 
beds about March 1st, covering the seed very lightly. Keep 
the seed-bed moist, giving it plenty of air. Keep the tops 
of the plants sheared off, which will cause them to grow 
stockier with better roots. The plants should be ready for 
planting in the fields by May 10th or 15th. When ready for 
the field, set the plants in double rows 3 or 4 feet apart, 
and about 8 inches apart in the rows. Care should be taken 
to press the soil firmly around the roots of the plants. If 
the roots are very long they should be trimmed off to about 
3 inches in length. This will facilitate handling them, and 
cause the plants to be set in the ground in much better 
condition. Keep the soil well stirred between the rows and 
around the plants. A good rule is to plow or work the 
ground every time it is watered. Great care should be used 
in watering, or the ground will sour and cause the celery 
to blight or rust. Celery requires water often, but not a 
great deal at a time. It should be planted on groimd with 
sufficient fall to permit the water running off quickly. 
When about ready to harvest, it may be blanched with either 
boards or dirt, boards being preferable in warm weather, 
and dirt in cool weather. When desired for winter use, it 
should not be bleached in the field, as it will bleach suffi¬ 
ciently in the cellar or pit, after being put away. 
Giant Pascal seed should be sown from the Ist to the 15th 
of April in hotbeds, same as the Golden Self-Blanching. 
Plants should be set in the field from June 10th to July 1st, 
in single rows, about 8 inches apart in the row, ciUtivating 
same as the Golden Self-Blanching. About October 10th or 
before freezing, it should be trenched and protected from 
freezing, when it will bleach and be ready for winter use. 
GIANT PASCAL. (Special Dwarf Strain)—Pascal Cel¬ 
ery is a very important crop with local celery 
growers and we have developed an excellent strain 
of this delicious vegetable. The plants are of 
dwarf stocky growth and do not develop soft 
stalks, nor seeders and blanches easily to a rich 
creamy white. May be used as wrapped celery for 
early fall use or for trenching for winter use. A 
dozen stalks trimmed ready for market often 
weighing 12 to 15 pounds. 
GIANT PASCAL. (Prencli Seed)—Forms solid, crisp 
stalks of rich nutty flavor. It is of strong growth, 
blanches easily and is very brittle. A fine keeper 
for mid-winter use. 
GOLDEN DETROIT—The standard of excellence in 
the self-blanching class. Medium late and par¬ 
ticularly valuable for shipping. A very uniform 
selection of Dwarf Golden Self-Blanching. Plant 
heavy, compact, full hearted; commonly 22 inches 
tall. 
Giant Pascal, Special Dwarf Strain 
GOLDEN No. 14—Similar to Golden Detroit but aver¬ 
ages a trifle taller and has more slender, rounded 
stems. Very popular in some sections as a ship¬ 
ping variety. 
MICHIGAN GOLDEN (Disease Resistant)—Developed 
by the Michigan State College. Can be grown in 
soils where other kinds of Golden Self-Blanching 
fail.
