CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—Plant the early varieties half an inch deep in a hot- 
bed in January or February and transplant when proper size and 
when freezing weather is past; they will stand a light frost. For 
late crop, plant Autumn Giant in May or June and treat exactly 
like late cabbage. Set the plants 15 to 18 inches apart in 3-foot 
rows. When the heads are about 2 inches across, tie up the outer 
leaves to blanch the head and protect them from the sun and 
weather; this prevents them becoming bitter and discolored.

COLLARDS 
CULTURE — One 
of the most popu- 
lar Southern vege- 
tables; largely 
used in place of 
cabbage. It is 
hardier and easier 
to grow than cab- 
bage, can be grown 
on poorer soil and 
withstands insect 
attacks better. Al- 
though often plant- 
ed during the 
spring and sum- 
mer, the principal 
plantings are made 
in June, July and 
August, transplant- 
ed two feet apart 
in the row and giv- 
en frequent culti- 
vation. A most ex- 
cellent vegetable 
for the late fall, 
winter and early 
spring. The flavor 
is improved by 
frost. Cultivate 
like cabbage.

CULTURE—Plant in February, 
March or beginning of April, in 
drills 8 to 18 inches apart, either 
in boxes indoors or in a bed of 
fine, rich soil, barely covering 
seeds. If the soil is dry, press the 
earth after covering, and keep 
clear of weeds, or the young 
plants will be smothered. Be sure 
the seed-bed is kept thoroughly 
moist until the seeds have germi- 
nated. When four inches high cut 
off the tops to make the plants 
stocky. Transplant from July to 
October. August and September |; 
settings succeed excellently and | 
require less labor than if set out |: 
earlier. Tro prepare a bed, dig 
trenches 6 inches deep and put in |’ 
3 or 4 inches of well-rotted ma- 
nure, dig in well and cover with] 
fine soil. Set the plants 6 to 8): 
inches apart, press the soil firmly | 
and earth up as they grow, but 
do not let the earth get into the] 
heart of the plant. When severe | 
weather comes on, cover gradu- 
ally with leaves, hay or straw 
and place boards on top. Celeriac 
needs no earthing up, and may be 
planted in rows 18 inches apart 
Celery seeds germinate slowly; 
soak for 24 to 36 hours before 
planting. ;

Giant Pascal Celery 
Self-Blanching Celeries 
They grow quickly and blanch easily. The ease with which they 
are grown should give them a place in every home garden. Plant 
the self-blanching kinds for earliest use, and the winter varieties 
for general use later. 
138. Golden Self-Blanching (115 Days)—Tender crispness, 
: delicious nutty flavor and ab- 
sence of strings make our Golden Self-Blanching a real deli- 
cacy. The stalks are broad, thick and heavy, and easily blanch 
to a rich, appetizing golden yellow. It is one of the easiest 
celeries to grow, for it blanches with much less earthing up than 
most celeries. Golden Self-Blanching deserves a place in your 
garden, Pkt. 10c; 0z. 70c; %4 lb. $2.50; lb. $9.00; 2-lb. lots $8.75

ing kinds, and consequently better keepers. For late summer and 
early fall use we recommend that a portion of your planting be 
one of the early kinds like White Plume and Golden Self-Blanching, . 
but for general use during the winter that a winter variety be 
planted.
