EARLY SNOWBALL. The best and most 
popular early variety grown. There is a 
vast difference in the strains of this variety 
offered, but what we offer is the best im¬ 
ported stock. Those who have had trouble 
with cauliflower should try this Snowball. 
It will make uniformly fine heads even un¬ 
der adverse conditions. Per package, 25c; 
14 oz„ $1.15; oz„ $4.25; 14 lb., $15. 
SNOWBALL. An early variety with short 
leaves and fine white heads. About a week 
later than Early Snowball and preferable in 
most of California. For winter planting. 
Per package, 25c; oz., $3.00; lb., $30.00. 
EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT. Very 
early and almost as good as the best quality 
of Snowball. For spring planting. Per 
package, 25c; 14 oz., $1; oz., $3.50; lb., 
$35.00. 
VEITCH’S AUTUMN GIANT. A large, late 
variety, very hardy, but especially desirable 
for the south. The large leaves protect the 
heads well, making this a fine variety for 
California. Per package, 5c; 14 oz., 50c; 
oz., $1.50; 14 lb., $4.50; lb., $12. 
Golden Self Bleaching Celery 
Celery 
Plant seed in early spring in rich, mellow 
soil, rather sandy, in a frame or open ground. 
As soon as the plants are six inches high, 
transplant them four inches each way. Later 
transplant in the field in rows four feet apart 
in soil that is naturally rich or that has been 
fertilized well with rich manure. It is not ad¬ 
visable to plant celery in furrows in Southern 
California or to heap the plants up with earth, 
as this causes them to rust. It is far better 
to plant self-blanching varieties and to tie up 
a few plants at a time before using. 
CALIFORNIA GROWN. Per package, 5c; 
oz., 80c; % lb., $2.65; lb., $10. 
GIANT PASCAL. Rather tall, green winter 
celery, blanches white and brittle. Per pack¬ 
age, 5c; oz., 35c; 14 oz., $1.10; lb., $3.50. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING, or PARIS 
GOLDEN. The best market variety, es¬ 
pecially for early crop. The plant is natur¬ 
ally golden yellow (both stem and leaves) 
but needs to be blanched to make it brittle 
and fit for table use. Forms a rather small 
bunch. French grown. Per package, 15c; 
oz., $1.50; 14 lb., $2.65; lb., $8.00. 
WHITE PLUME. A comparatively easy va¬ 
riety to grow, as it is fairly hardy, and 
being naturally white, is easy to blanch. 
The leaves are also white, tinted with green 
at tips. Forms a medium sized bunch and 
is fairly tall; early. Per package, 5c; oz., 
35c; 'A lb., $1.20; lb., $3.50.

ERY. This celery is used for soups and 
salads. Plant in shallow drills and give 
same care as celery. Per package, 5c; oz.,

voring soups and salads. Easily grown in

Corn 
Plant in the spring in hills; the small va¬ 
rieties 10 inches apart in drills 214 feet apart. 
If sown in hills have them about three feet 
apart each way. Corn grows best in rich, 
warm soil; thorough cultivation is necessary 
in order to obtain good results. The follow¬ 
ing varieties are grown especially for us by 
Eastern specialists. Write for quotations by 
100 pounds.

quently used by canners. Many people con¬ 
sider Country Gentleman as about the best
