CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE.—For Spring and early Summer crop, sow in 
March or early in April in hotbed and transplant in cold frame 
when sufficiently large to handle. As soon as danger of hard 
freezing is over set in open ground in rows 2 ]/^ feet apart and 
18 inches apart in the row. The plants will endure a light 
frost. The soil for Cauliflower should be like that for cab¬ 
bage, but it is better if made richer. One ounce will produce 
1,500 plants. 
EXTRA EARLY SNOWBALL 
57 Days. The best of the early maturing strains. The 
heads are of medium to large size, solid, compact and round. 
The curd is of fine texture. The plants are compact, with few 
outer leaves and are well suited for close planting. Pkt. 25 
and 50c, oz. $1.25. 
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; heads large; 6 to 7 
inches across, weighing as much as 2 lbs; white with tinge of 
cream; of splendid quality. Pkt. 25 and 50c, oz. $1.25. 
CHIVES 
This popular kitchen garden plant is indispensable for 
flavorin*g certain dishes. It imparts a mild onion taste, not, 
however, to such an extent as to render it objectionable. The 
plants are hardy and will last for years. Don’t cut the plant 
too close when gathering. If desired for Winter use, lift the 
plant in a pot or box and place in a sunny window in the 
kitchen. Pkt. 10c, oz 25c, 34 lb. $1.25. 
CHICKORY

times cooked like Endive. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, 34 Ib. 35c, lb. 
CORN SALAD 
A favorite salad plant and very hardy. Sow in August or

gathered in the Spring very early. Sown in April, it is soon 
ready for use. The leaves are sometimes boiled and served as 
spinach. Three ounces of seed to 100 feet of row. Pkt. lOc, 
oz. 15c, 34 lb. 35c, lb. $1.25. 
CHERVIL 
An aromatic plant, used extensively in Europe as a salad 
seasoner. It adds a flavor that is entirely its own. When 
chopped fine and scattered on buttered potatoes it is a rare 
treat. Sow it in a row like parsley, which it somewhat 
resembles. For a continuous crop, sow every 2 weeks. 
One ounce will sow a row 25 feet long. 
Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, 34 Ib. 35c.
