VEGETABLE SEEDS 
CABBAGE (Continued) 
Late or Autumn and Winter Varieties 
Premium Late Flat Dutch. 105 days. The best very large, late 
cabbage; popular for home and market garden and for fall 
shipment; a good keeper. Heads very large and flat, but deep; 
become 12 to 14 in. across, 7 in. deep and weigh 12 to 14 lbs. or 
more; firm and of good quality. Pkt. 10c. 
San Francisco Market. Late, coarse-leaved variety which 
forms a large hard head. It remains a remarkably long time 
in the field without bursting and thus provides marketable 
heads over a long period. Pkt. 10e. 
Mammoth Rock Red. 90 days. The best red cabbage; splendid 
winter keeper. Heads round to slightly flattened globe shape; 
commonly 7 in. in diameter and weigh about 7 lbs.; very hard; 
deep purplish-red. Fkt. 10c.

group for home use and market. Leaves blistered; stem short. 
Heads flattened globe shape; medium large, firm. Outside 
leaves yellowish-green; interior leaves crumpled, attractive 
light yellow-green; of distinctive flavor. Fkt. 10c. 
Chinese Cabbage 
Chihli. Early and very sure heading. Head becomes 18 to 20 
in. tall, 3% to 4 in. thick, tapered near tip, very firm, well 
blanched, crisp, tender and sweet. Superior to Chinese 1lm- 
proved or Pe Tsai. Fkt. 10e. 
Wong Bok. Heads 8 to 10 in. tall; broad; firm. Well blanched, 
tender and of excellent quality. Pkt. 10c. 
CARROTS 
This delicious and nutritious vegetable is not appreciated as 
it should be. Properly cooked, it is a great delicacy. Its feed- 
ing qualities for stock are excellent. A sandy soil is best, but 
any good rich soil will produce good crops. Sow in early 
spring in rows 15 to 18 inches apart and thin to 3 or 4 inches, 
according to size of variety. Cover the seed only half inch 
and give careful cultivation throughout the season. They may 
be eaten either when a half inch or so in diameter or when 
fully grown.

Pkt. 10c. 
Chantenay, Red Cored. 70 days. This is a distinct improve- 
ment over the well-known Chantenay, especially in color, tex- 
ture and quality of flesh and has been accepted with much 
enthusiasm, particularly by shippers of fresh vegetables and 
by canners. Roots deep reddish-orange, 5% to 6 in. long, 2% 
in, thick at the shoulder, tapered, stump-rooted; core reddish- 
orange, almost the same color as the flesh and so inconspicu- 
ous as to make the term coreless seem appropriate; flesh fine 
grained and tender; of sweet, delicate flavor. Fkt. 10c. 
Danvers, Half Long. 75 days. Very productive and popular 
for home and market garden; much used for shipping. Roots 
bright deep orange, 6 to 7 in. long, 1% in. thick, uniformly 
tapered to the blunt end. Flesh bright orange, crisp and 
tender. Pkt. 10c.

forcing and for out-of-door culture for early market. Tops 
small. Roots reddish-orange; small, globular, become 1% in. 
in diameter; flesh reddish-orange, of high quality. Pkt. 10c. 
Imperator. 77 days. Roots 8 to 10 inches long, and 1% to 2%

keeper and much used for stock feed. Roots scarlet-orange; 
broad, blunt, heart-shaped; become 4% to 5 in. long; easily 
harvested. Fkt. 10e. 

KNOX’S FAMOUS CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is grown the same as cabbage, but requires 
more fertile soil, and like cabbage and lettuce, is not a good 
summer crop. There are two good seasons for sowing cauli- 
flower seed; for fall and winter sow the seed in June and July, 
for spring sow in September and October. Transplant the 
plants when they are about six weeks old, and always keep 
them in a thriving condition. If large or old plants are used 
and if they are not kept growing constantly, some will head 
prematurely and others will go to seed. 
Danish Giant, Dry Weather. 65 days. Dependable variety to 
plant at the same time as Early Snowball, the crop being 
ready when Snowball has been harvested; one of the most 
dependable in adverse, dry weather. Plants dwarf, short 
stemmed; larger than Early Snowball. Heads large; 6 to 7 in. 
across, commonly weigh 2 lbs., white with tinge of cream; of 
splendid quality. Pkt. 25c. 
Early Snowball. 52 days. The best for greenhouse forcing, 
early market and shipping. Plants very dwarf. Heads snow 
white: deep, smooth, compact; about 6 in. across and weigh 
1% to 2 lbs.; the standard of excellence in cauliflower. Pkt. 25c. 
CHICORY 
Large Rooted or Coffee. Roots mature in 4 to 5 months. Dried 
roots used as substitute for and adulterant of coffee. Roots 
12 to 14 in. long, 2% in. thick at top; tapered. Pkt. 10e. 
Witloof or French Endive. One of the best and most attractive 
of salad vegetables; grown largely by market gardeners and 
shippers. The carefully trimmed roots when buried upright 
in damp sand and given the proper conditions each produce a 
handsome. compact cluster 4 to 5 in. long of blanched leaves 
which are tender and have a rich, mildly acrid flavor. Pkt. 10e.
