KNOX'S FAMOUS CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is grown the same as cabbage, but requires 
more fertile soil, and like cabbage and lettuce, is not a good 
summer crop. There are two good seasons for sowing cauli¬ 
flower seed; for fall and winter sow the seed in June and July, 
for spring sow in September and October. Transplant the 
plants when they are about six weeks old, and always keep 
them in a thriving condition. If large or old plants are used 
and if they are not kept growing constantly, some will head 
prematurely and others will go to seed. 
CELERY 
Celery seed should be sown indoors from February 20th to 
April 20th, or outdoors in April. Cover lightly, keep the beds 
moist, almost to wetness, and the temperature should not ex¬ 
ceed 60 degrees. Outdoors it is sometimes necessary to furnish 
partial shade with lattice work that admits about half the 
sunlight. Keep the small plants well watered and free from 
weeds. Transplant when 4 inches high, cutting off the tops 
as well as part of the roots. The soil must be rich and moist 
or else water should be available for irrigation. Transplant 
the last of June or first of July, although it is sometimes pos¬ 
sible to mature a crop set out as late as the middle of August. 
In setting, dig trenches 5 inches deep, 2 feet apart. Plant 1 
foot apart along both sides of trench. Water often and keep 
the weeds down by cultivation and hoeing. Blanching is done 
by heaping up with soil or with two wide boards placed on 
each side of the rows and held in place by stakes or wire hoops 
at the top. The latter method is necessary when blanching in 
hot weather for the early market. Be careful not to disturb 
the plant while wet, as this increases the tendency to rust. 
Danish Giant, Dry Weather. 65 days. Dependable variety to 
plant at the same time as Early Snowball, the crop being 
ready when Snowball has been harvested; one of the most 
dependable in adverse, dry weather. Plants dwarf, short 
stemmed; larger than Early Snowball. Heads large; 6 to 7 in. 
across, commonly weigh 2 lbs., white with tinge of cream; of 
splendid quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.50; Ya lb. $6.00; lb. $20.00. 
Early Snowball. 52 days. The best for greenhouse forcing, 
early market and shipping. Plants very dwarf. Heads snow 
white; deep, smooth, compact; about 6 in. across and weigh 
1V 2 to 2 lbs.; the standard of excellence in cauliflower. Pkt.
