Culture. For the earliest crop the seed should be sown in hotbeds from the middle of February to the end Ti 
of March. For main crop sow im open ground March or April, according to the weather, in rows 15 inches 
apart. The seed is sometimes slow to germinate, and in dry and hot weather water well. Careful weeding by 
hand will have to be done until the young plants get started. Seed sown in beds should be transplanted. en a Pe 
the plants are set in the open field, trim the tops off and put in rows about 5 feet apart, setting plants 6 to 8 ~~ 
inches apart. Cultivate co euy during the growing season, and as the crop matures it must be earthed up 
or blanched. Sometimes this is done by placing two pears upright, close to the plants and filling in dirt both —

97 GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING,. (118 days.) This is not only 
a very early variety but one of the best for hame use or market. It 
is not quite so early as White Plume but so much finer quality that it 
is generally preferred as a main crop sort. Plants are dium size, 
compact and stocky, with yellowish green foliage. As they mature, 
the inner stem turns a beautiful golden yellow color and blanching is 
easily accomplished. Being of handsome color, very crisp, tender, free 
from stringiness and of fine flavor, it is the leading sort grown.

in the row and given frequent cultivation. A most excellent vegetable 
for the late fall, winter and early spring. The flavor is improved by 
frost. Cultivate like late cabbage.

An extra early and very handsome sort which is popular with market 
gardeners, especially for early crop. Leaves are light, bright green at the base, shading nearly white at the 
tip. As plants mature, the inner stem And leaves turn white and consequently require less earthing and

CELTUCE 
100. Easy to grow. Plants grow quickly, forming a rosette of light 
green leaves whieh may be eaten as a salad, or cooked as “greens.” 
In less than 90 days after seed is sown, the central stem or stalk is 
usable and will be found most tender at this age. The stalks are solid 
throughout, the stem greenish white and tough, but the inside is very 
succulent, most delicate pale green, crisp and brittle. The stalk may be 
eaten raw or cooked. In either case, the outer skin is removed, and only ~ 
the tender, light green heart is eaten. As a raw vegetable, the centers 
of the stalks are cut into four- or five-inch lengths and split lengthwise, — 
chilled and eaten as you would celery or carrots with salt. Cooked 
CELTUCE stalks are pale green, attractive, and have a pleasing, mild __ 
flavor, suggestive of celery or lettuce. It can be cooked in many ways 
such as celery au gratin; steamed like asparagus and served with a x, 
favorite sauce; or plain boiled and served hot with butter and lemon 
sauce. : iS. egies

set in the open as early as the ground can be worked. :

CAULIFLOWER 
Culture. For early spring or summer crop sow the seed in January 
or February indoors or under glass. When the plants have four leaves, 
transplant to cold frames for development. Toward the end of March 
or early part of April, set in open field and cultivate the same as cab- 
bage. For fall use sow at the same time as late cabbage and treat in 
the same manner. Cauliflower will not head in very hot weather— 
hence for fall use, too early sowing is not desirable. Ree ee a
