CAULIFLOWER 
% oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
The same methods that produce good cabbage will grow good 
cauliflower. The only great difference is that cauliflower heads 
must be protected from sunlight so as to make sure of the 
desirable white curd. Gather the tops of the leaves together 
loosely as soon as the heads begin to form. In shutting off the 
light, it is important not to cramp the heads. 
Early Snowball. (52 days.) The best for greenhouse forcing, 
early market, and shipping. Plants very dwarf. Heads snow 
white, deep, smooth, compact; about 6 inches across, weight 
1% to 2 pounds. The standard of excellence in cauliflower.

CELERY 
% oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre, 
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 furrowed out so plants may be 
set 6 inches deep. Later, soil may be banked against rows for 
blanching, even so-called self-blanching varieties need 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 5000 plants. 
Giant Pascal. A very vigorous and an extremely productive 
variety, with short, broad, thick, tender and fleshy green ribs, 
which blanch very readily when earthed up. It keeps very well 
under cover during winter. Pkt. 5¢; oz. 50c. 
Golden Self-Blanching. A very fine variety of French origin. 
Half dwarf, compact with well developed leaves. It needs very 
little blanching to fit it for table. Pkt. 10c¢; oz. 75c. 
White Plume. This variety is characterized by the silver white 
color, with which its leaves are partly tinged at first. It suffers 
easily from the cold and should be grown for autumn rather 
than for winter use. Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c.
