NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 




THE EARLIEST CAULIFLOWER IN THE WORLD 
Larger, much deeper through and more solid than Snow- 
ball or any other early cauliflower. Of most attractive ap- 
pearance. 
It heads up evenly, the whole crop can be cut and mar- 
keted in two weeks. Produces a larger percentage of perfect 
heads than other varieties even on rather poor soil and under 
adverse conditions. Practically disease free. The head of 
Early King is exceptionally high with the curd standing out 
in relief like a ball. The inner leaves of Early King curl in 
at the top, closely enveloping the head and excluding rain 
water and any possible harm by unfavorable weather. The 
head is thus perfectly protected until it reaches a size of 
five inches across at which stage it is time to start tying. 
Few days after, the heads are of marketable size. If left 
standing the head will soon attain a size of ten inches across. 
The outside leaves are very dark green with stout ribs and 
slightly shorter than those of most other varieties, yet ample 
to give the heads full protection. Pkt. 20c; % oz. 35c; oz. 
$2.00; lb. $24.00. 
We sell half and quarter pounds at pound rate, 5 pounds or over 
at 10 pound rate, 25 pounds or over at 100 pound rate.

CARNATION PRAGUE GIANT 
Much more than just another new carnation. 
Of all 
hardy carnations this is the finest. The plants are of 
robust growth carrying on stiff wiry stems extra double, 
well formed fragrant flowers two inches across in many 
shades of the most lovely pink besides all other straight 
colors. These flowers supported by stalks, so strong and 
rigid that not a single bloom leans towards the ground, touch 
one another at an even height in such a fashion as if arranged by 
the hand of a skilled florist into a big boquet of such a beauty that 
when seen by a flower lover some of the plants will be seen no more 
by the grower—they will be sold and carried away. It is this up- 
right even growth that makes Prague Giant the king of hardy carna- 
tions. No other carnation can compare with it in this respect. For 
several years we had plantations of Prague Giant on one of our 
seed farms but never gathered a single seed, had to sell the plants 
to visitors. Our telling them that the plants are a seed producing 
crop was of no use. They begged for the plants and we had to sell. 
CULTURE: Sow in spring, transplant in summer, to get blooming 
plants in spring. Will winter without protection. If you will place 
Prague Giant in pots, force gently and bring the plants into bloom 
in May and then to market, we assure you that you will sell the 
plants and will not have enough to satisfy the demand. You will 
positively lose if you will not plant PLENTY of Prague Giant. Out- 
doors Prague Giant blooms early in June to July, the seed produces 
about 90% double flowers. Height 15 inches. T. pkt. 15c; 1/16 oz.
