CARROTS 
1 ounce will sow a row 100 feet long; 3 to 4 pounds will sow an acre. 
CAULIFLOWER 
Culture: In the latitude of Norfolk, sow out-of-doors the last of Sep¬ 
tember in a carefully prepared bed 14 of an inch deep, and transplant into 
cold frames for protection during the winter, or sow in a hotbed in 
November, and transplant into cold frames, and set in the field early in 
April, in rows 2% feet apart, allowing 18 inches between the plants. For a 
late crop, sow from the 15th of April to the 1st of July, transplanting in 
the same way as winter cabbage. The heads are blanched by drawing the 
leaves together and tying with raffia or strips of other soft material. They 
must always be cut before the “curd” begins to split and open into 
branches. 
White Bouquet. A few days later than Super Snowball, but in our 
judgment the best Cauliflower for the latitude of Norfolk. The superi¬ 
ority which we claim for it is particularly shown in its earliness, certain¬ 
ty of heading, splendid quality and well-shaped large heads of snowy 
whiteness. Pkt., 25c; oz., $1.75; 34 Ih., $6.00; 1 lb., $20.00, postpaid. 
Super Snowball. Probably the earliest variety, and like our Thoro- 
bred White Bouquet, is as equally celebrated. We recommend both selec¬ 
tions unreservedly, but find that in different sections preference is often 
shown for one or the other, owing to the effects of various soils and 
climates. Pkt., 25c; oz., $2.00; 2 ozs., $3.75; 34 lb., $7.00; 1 lb., $25.00, 
postpaid. 
Culture: Sow 34 inch deep in light, rich, deeply cultivated soil, pressing the soil firmly over the seed. 
The rows may be from 12 to 24 inches apart, and when the seedlings are 2 inches high, thin out to 3 or 4 
inches in the row. For the early crop, sow in February or March; for the late crop, sow in July 
or August. 
Imperator 
One ounce will sow a row 100 feet long, and produce from 
2500 to 3000 plants; 4 ounces will produce enough plants to 
set out an acre. 
White Bouquet Cauliflower 
Dry Weather. Very similar to Danish Giant, and as its name implies 
is especially adapted to those sections which experience long seasons of 
hot, dry weather. Pkt., 15c; oz., $1.25; 34 lb., $4.50; 1 lb., $15.00, postpaid. 
Imperator. (65 days). For shape, color and 
quality, this is an outstanding Carrot. It has 
been bred for market and shipping, but is 
equally good for the home garden. It has me¬ 
dium tops, averages about 8 inches long, 234 
inches at the shoulder, and tapers to a point. 
The skin is bright orange. The flesh about the 
same color, with little core, and so crisp, tender 
and sweet that it is often called “Tendersweet.”

gardeners, but equally good for the home gar¬ 
den. The roots have short tops, average 8 inches 
long, 134 inches at the shoulder, and nearly the 
same size to the tip. The skin is brilliant or¬ 
ange; the flesh nearly the same color, with

Danvers, and adapted to nearly all types of 
southern soil. The roots have good tops, aver¬ 
age about 8 inches long, 1% inches at the 
shoulder, and taper to a blunt point. The skin

flesh a trifle lighter, and of
