The Twentieth Century Cauliflower 
CULTURE. Sow the seed in a hotbed in January or February, and 
when the plants are large enough transplant three inches apart in boxes 
or in other hotbeds until time to plant out. If hardened off they are seldom 
injured by planting out as early as the ground can be properly prepared, 
2% feet apart each way. Keep them well hoed and bring the earth grad¬ 
ually up to their stems, watering freely in dry weather and especially when 
they begin to head. Cauliflower succeeds best when planted in frames at 
the close of winter and brought to maturity before the summer heat sets 
in. The late varieties mature in the autumn and are sown and managed 
similar to winter cabbage. 
252. The Twentieth Century. (90 days.) Where other 
cauliflower fails, gardeners should try this strain. The heads 
are all large, and every plant will make a head when the con¬ 
ditions are right. The heads are compact and white, weighing 
more than any other sort. The outside leaves are smaller 
than other varieties; for this reason it can be planted closer, 
thereby getting a greater number of heads to the acre. Pkt. 
25 cts.; Va oz. $1*00; Vz oz. $1*75; oz. $3.00; Va lb. $10.00, 
postpaid. 
243. Danish Giant or New Dry Weather Cauli¬ 
flower. (95 days.) A splendid variety, actually drought- 
resistant which will produce fine heads when some other van- 
eties are a complete failure due to lack of moisture.^ Will 
produce splendid crops in very dry locations. Pkt. 25 cts., 
oz. $1.00; Va lb. $3.00, postpaid. 
289. Autumn Giant. (100 days.) It is very late in 
maturing and while the heads are not as tightly formed as 
are some of the earlier varieties, Autumn Giant s large, white 
heads will remain long fit for use. Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. $1.00; 
>4 lb. $3.00, postpaid. 
334. Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt. (90 days.) A re¬ 
markably sure heading early Cauliflower. It is of dwarf habit 
with short outside leaves similar in most respects to Early 
Snowball, and nearly as early. The heads when ready foi 
market are medium to large size. The curd is white, excep¬ 
tionally deep and of finest quality. It will give excellent re¬ 
sults either in the home garden or for market use. Pkt. 25 
cts.; Va oz * $1-00; Vz oz. $1.75; oz. $3.00; Va lb. $10.00, post¬ 
paid. 
273. Early Snowball Cauliflower. (“Best in Gar¬ 
den” Variety.) (90 days.) This Cauliflower, the most 
widely known of them all, may be planted early in the 
spring or late in the fall. It is of dwarf, compact 
growth and produces pure-white solid heads of large 
size and excellent quality. The long pointed leaves 
protect the curd from the sun. Its earliness and large 
size make it most desirable. 
Pkt. 25 cts.; Va oz. $1.00; Vz oz. $1.75; oz. $3.00; 
Va lb. $10.00, postpaid. 
COLLARDS 
The collard is an old-time favorite, adapted to all parts of 
the South, and as a producer of “greens” for boiling in Winter 
and Spring it has no equal. It will pay you to have a collard 
patch just to give your cows an occasional taste of “green 
stuff.” Sow any time up to September 1st. 
211. Southern or Georgia. (80 days.) This variety is 
the old-time favorite. Stands all sorts of adverse conditions 
without injury. It is very hardy, standing winters as far north 
as Atlanta. In many places where the soil is too poor to 
grow cabbage, the collard grows easily and makes a good 
substitute for cabbage. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; Va lb. 25 cts.; 
lb. 75 cts., postpaid. 
244. Cabbage Collards. (80 days.). Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 
cts.; Va lb. 25 cts.; lb. 75 cts., postpaid. 
CORN SALAD 
One ounce will sow about 18 square feet and six pounds 
will sow an acre. 
112. Broad Leaved (Large Seeded). (50 days.) De¬ 
licious salad used during the winter and spring months as a 
substitute for lettuce, and is also cooked and used like 
Spinach. Sow in spring in drills 1 foot apart. It will mature 
in six weeks. For early spring use sow in September and 
winter over like Spinach. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; Va lb. 80 
cts.; lb. $3.00, postpaid. 
CRESS 
CULTURE. Sow thickly in shallow drills every 2 
or 3 weeks. It should be cut often, and it will con¬ 
tinue to grow. It is useful not only for salad, but 
for the breakfast table and for garnishing. True Water Cress should 
be sown in damp soil; or if a stream of water can be utilized they will 
be much finer. They will also thrive well in damp hotbeds. Rightly 
managed, their culture is very profitable. To obtain early salad, it is a 
good plan to sow with Water Cress seed a strip A inches wide on the 
outer margin of a hotbed, inside the frame, where it is always cool. 
270. True Water. (55 days.) It thrives when its roots 
and stems are submerged in water. It is one of the most 
delicious of small salads. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; Va lb. $1.50; 
lb. $5.00, postpaid.

187. Pepper Grass. (45 days.) The seed should be 
sown in drills about 16 inches apart on very rich ground, 
and the plants well cultivated. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts. Va lb. 
30 cts.; lb. $1.00, postpaid.
