For early Cauliflower, sow seed under glass in January or February and trans- 
plant to cold frames, 2 to 3 inches apart each way. Set in open ground early in the 
spring in rich, warm, moist soil. Water freely in dry weather, especially when plants 
are heading. For main crop, sow seed in June, set out your plants the latter part | 
of July. After heads have begun to form, draw leaves over and tie to protect from 
the sun and keep them white. Cut while heads are compact and firm. 
Super-Snowball. Large, deep, solid, snow-white heads. Foliage heavy and up- 
right, protecting the heads that mature early and evenly, and under favorable con- 
ditions the entire crop can be harvested at practically one cutting.

* Snowdrift or White Mountain. This kind makes a very large, deep, solid, pure 
white head. The heavy, upright growing leaves are very numerous and being close 
together force the smaller inner leaves to curl over and protect the head. Well 
-adapted for use under a wide range of conditions and generally considered the 
most satisfactory strain for the main crop for fall harvest. \

soups, stews, salads, meat sauces, gravies, 
omelets, potatoes. The more often the 
leaves are cut the stronger the plant grows.

HUCKLEBERRY 
Freeze them and store for winter in your 
food locker. 
These Seed WHuckleberries or Sunberries— 
Wonderberries—Garden Berries—their botanical 
name is Solanum—they bear fruit from seed 
the first year. 
These pie berries grow big, strong plants 
that bear quantities of fruit the same season 
that you sow the seed. Some call them Sun 
Berries, others Wonder Berries. Down in Wayne 
County, N. Y., where we saw them first, they 
call them Seed Huckleberries, first because 
they grow and bear from seed the first year 
and Huckleberries for the reason that. pies 
made from them rival the most delicious 
Huckleberry pies that you ever tasted. These 
pie berries are not a freak; they are just a 
mighty good garden fruit.

HOW TO GROW THEM 
Start seed indoors in boxes during February 
and March, and when plants are 2 inches high, 
transplant to 3 inches apart, giving plants 
plenty of room so they will be strong and stocky. 
Put out in the garden when all danger of frost 
is over, setting them about 3 feet apart, Give 
plenty of fertilizer and water often. If fruit is 
to be cooked for pies or canning it can be 
picked a week after turning black. 
HOW TO MAKE THE PIE 
1 quart of berries, 2 cups sugar, 2 table- 
spoons flour, 3 slices lemon, 1 tablespoon but- 
ter, pinch of nutmeg. Mix flour and sugar dry 
and add the fruit. Cook thoroughly, mash up 
the berries and fill the pie. Some use 1 table- 
spoon of vinegar in place of lemon. !t makes 
good pie either way.

ing salad, for garnishing or as a green in sand- 
wiches. Used with Lettuce, it adds an agreeable

“Good Vegetables,’’ says the Gardener's 
Chronicle of March, 1878, ‘’are secured more 
frequently by a careful selection of seed than 
in any other way, and the high quality which 
they have attained i$ chiefly due to the great 
care of our enterprising seed-growers.’’ 
From Vick’s Illustrated Magazine, 
Feb., 1878 
“Mrs. M. M. Comstock of Ithaca, Michi- 
gan, grew last season an Early Paris Cauli- 
flower that measured 3 feet 9 inches around 
and 18 inches in diameter,.”’
