Silas E. Miller of Germantown, N. Y. sent us this picture of his Seneca Bender (See page 16.) melon field. You can’t see many melons 
with such healthy foliage as he has here. 
have been able to keep our fields free from disease. 
We are not in an intensive melon growing section and with our careful breeding program 
CELERY 
1 oz. will produce 10,000 plants 
For early crop, sow indoors February Ist to March 
Ist and transplant in open after danger of hard frosts. 
For late crop, sow seed out-of-doors April Ist to May Ist 
and transplant 4 to 6 inches apart in 24 to 28 inch rows. 
When fully grown, blanch with boards, earth or paper. 
GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING, Dwarf Old Strain: 
120 days. This, the original French Strain, is still 
very popular with market gardeners and shippers. 
More stocky than the new tall strains and has very 
compact solid stalks and good flavor. Blanches to a 
handsome golden yellow color. Pkt. 15 cts.; % oz. 
30 cts.; oz. 80 cts. 
EASY BLANCHING: 125 days. Much like Golden 
Self Blanching but leaves are darker green and stalks 
blanch white instead of yellow. Easy Blanching 
seems to be rather more resistant to disease. It 
grows taller than Golden Self Blanching but does not 
blanch quite as readily. Pkt. 15 cts.; % oz. 30 cts.; 
oz. 75 cts. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
1 oz. will produce 2000 plants 
Culture same as Broccoli. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED DWARF: 95 days. We 
have found this strain very desirable because it will 
produce sprouts under less favorable conditions than 
other varieties. The plants are of dwarf habit but 
furnish a large yield of sprouts of excellent quality. 
Light freezes seem to improve the quality. Pkt. 
yy cts.; % oz. 60 cts.; oz. 90 cts.; 1% Ib. $3.25; Ib. 
11.40. 
CHINESE CABBAGE 
1 oz. will produce about 2000 plants 
Seed hot water treated 
Grown chiefly as a fall crop because if grown in sum- 
mer, the plant is apt to go to seed before heading. Sow 
seeds from July Ist to August Ist in rows 18 to 24 inches 
apart. Thin seedlings to 15 inches apart. 
CHIHLI: 75 days. A tall, sure-heading variety. The 
outer dark green leaves enclose a tapering 18 inch 
head. The head is very compact, white tinted with 
green, crisp and sweet. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; 
4 Ib. $1.15. 
GOLDEN PLUME OR WONDERFUL: 115 days. 
This variety is similar in many respects to Golden 
Self Blanching. It matures early and in many lo- 
calities has been found to be more resistant to attacks 
of blight and rust. The plants are semi - dwarf, 
stocky and vigorous in growth with a very full heart 
which blanches quickly to a rich golden yellow color. 
Of very attractive appearance and superior quality, 
with a fine nutty flavor. Pkt. 15 cts.; % oz. 30 
cts.; oz. 80 cts. 
SALT LAKE OR UTAH: 135 days. We are listing this 
variety in place of Giant Pascal. It is the best variety 
for storage for winter use that we know of. The stalks 
are large and the heart well developed. It blanches 
to a pure white and is crisp, brittle and of good 
quality. Pkt. 15 cts.; % oz. 30 cts.; oz. 85 cts. 
GOLDEN PASCAL: 120 days. A new yellow celery 
with the shape and quality of green celery. As tall as 
Tall Golden Self Blanching but heavier. Pkt. 15 
cts.; 4% oz. 35 cts.; oz. $1.00. 
CAULIFLOWER 
1 oz. will produce 2000 plants 
Seed hot water treated 
For an early crop, sow inside February 15th to March 
15th. Transplant into flats and put out in field as 
soon as danger of hard freezing is over. For late crop, 
sow seed out-of-doors the middle of May and transplant 
into field about July Ist. As soon as heads begin to 
form, draw the leaves over and tie them together for 
protection against rain and sun. 
SUPER SNOWBALL: 57 days. A strain of Snowball 
used widely where an early crop is grown. Large, 
uniform heads of fine quality are produced where 
conditions are favorable. Requires rich land. We do 
not recommend Super Snowball for the late crop. 
Pkt. 25 cts.; 1% oz. $1.30; oz. $4.25; 1% lb. $14.75. 
SNOWBALL: 67 days. This is the standard variety 
for the Northeastern States. In our trial grounds we 
have had very few plants that did not produce a 
marketable head. This is also true of the fields we 
inspected where our seed was used. Our Snowball 
not only produces a large compact white head but 
makes a very strong leaf growth and is largely self 
protecting. Pkt. 25 cts.; 1% oz. $1.15; oz. $3.80; 
% Ib. $13.30.
