CAULIFLOWER 
Culture same as Cabbage. Soil must be rich and deep, 
and the plants liberally supplied with water in dry 
weather. As the flower heads appear, the large leaves 
should be broken down over them to protect them from 
the sun and rain. One ounce will produce about 1,500 
plants and will mature in about 150 days. Sow from June 
to January. 
EARLY SNOWBALL—The best and most popular early 
variety grown. It will make uniformly fine heads, even 
under adverse conditions. (Pkt. 15c) (4 oz. 90c) 
(oz. $2.50) (4 Ib. $6.25) (lb. $25.00) 
CALIFORNIA WONDER—A late variety, forming good, 
large, solid heads during the winter. This variety has 
given great satisfaction in California wherever tried.

(b. $20.00) 
DRYWEATHER—This fine variety is especially adapted 
for localities subjected to long, dry seasons. It is a 
very sure header, second early, and produces large, pure 
white heads of delicious flavor. (Pkt. 10c) (4 oz. 75c)

heads of good size, with deep green self-protecting 
foliage. (Pkt. 15c) (44 oz. $1.00) (oz. $3.00) 
CHICORY 
LARGE ROOTED—The young leaves are known as 
radichetta, and are excellent as salad; the roots are 
also used for cooking. Sow the seed % inch deep early 
in the spring, thin the young plants to 6 inches in the 
row and keep well hoed. The plant spreads from the 
root and is perennial; will mature in 120 days. One 
ounce will sow 200 feet of row. (Pkt. 10c) (0z. 35c) 
Q4 lb. $1.15) (lb. $3.50) 
ASPARAGUS or RADICHETTA—Leaves are long and cut 
irregularly. Cultivated chiefly for the tender young 
shoots which are boiled in salt water and served hot, 
or cold in salads. The delicious flavor is suggestive of 
Asparagus. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 50c) (44 Ib. $1.65) (Ib.- $5.00)

CELERY 
Sow the seed % inch deep in open ground as soon as fit 
to work in April, or for very early use in hot bed or cold 
frame. Pressing in the seed has often been found more 
satisfactory than covering. Cut the tops off once or twice 
before planting out, to make them stocky. When the 
plants are 5 or 6 inches high, transplant to rows 2 feet 
apart and set the plants 6 inches apart in rows. Water 
freely and shade from sun until established. Cultivate 
well, and when large enough blanch by earthing up or by 
partly shading the rows with boards. One ounce will pro- 
duce about 4,000 plants; will mature in about 6 months. 
GOLDEN PLUME—A medium sized early variety; stocky, 
full hearted and compact; the thick solid stalks blanch 
readily and are of the finest quality. (Pkt. 10c)
