The TILLINGHAST SEED COMPANY, La Conner, Washington 
Chinese Cabbage 
CHIHLI. A quaint distinct early variety 
of great merit which we think superior to 
all other types. Heads are long, almost 
cylindrical, bleached pure white, very 
solid and of superior quality. The upright 
growth and the shape of the heads per¬ 
mits closer planting than of other kinds. 
Although of recent introduction, it is al¬ 
ready very popular on most markets. It 
is important to sow at the right time in 
July and August as spring sowings will 
bolt to seed. Pkg. lOc; oz. 30c; !4 lb. 75c. 
Cauliflower 
'/2 OZ. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
CULTURE —The same methods that pro¬ 
duce good Cabbage will grow good Cauli¬ 
flower. The only great difference is that 
Cauliflower heads must be protected from 
sunlight so as to make sure of the desir¬ 
able white curd. Gather the tops of the 
leaves together loosly as soon as the heads 
begin to form. In shutting off the light, 
it is important not to cramp the heads. 
★ HENDERSON’S EARLY SNOWBALL. 
The best known and most used of all the 
early cauliflowers. A great favorite with 
the market gardeners; for both early and

ALGIERS. One of the best of the late 
cauliflower. The plants are larger and up¬ 
right, with the leaves protecting the heads

Golden Plume 
Celery 
Ya oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
CULTURE—Sow from February to May 
in drills 1 foot apart. Later, usually in 
June, transplant to rows 3 feet apart and 
6 inches apart in row. Rows should be fur¬ 
rowed out so plants may be set 6 inches 
deep. Later, soil may be banked against 
rows for blanching, even so-called self¬ 
blanching varieties needing the cool, moist 
soil to render the stalks crisp and tender, 
but this should not be done until a few 
weeks before harvesting. One ounce of 
seed will produce five thousand plants. 
★ GOLDEN PLUME. A yellow celery re¬ 
sembling the Golden Self-Blanching in 
several respects. Its height is about the 
same, but it is about two weeks earlier. 
It also makes a larger bunch which 
blanches easier and whiter. It is especially 
recommended for the home garden on ac¬ 
count of its hardiness, easiness to blanch 
and its fine quality. Pkg. 10c; oz. 50c.

they are fit for use.
