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.

CULTURE — One of F 
the most popular 
Southern vegetables; 
largely used in place |: 
of cabbage. It is 
hardier and easier to 
grow than cabbage, 
can be grown on 
poorer soil and with-

better. Although offt- 
en planted during the 
spring and summer, 
the principal plant-

CELERY 
CULTURE—About 12 to 14 weeks before the plants are to be set in the garden 
plant '4 inch deep in boxes indoors, in hot-bed, or outside when the ground 
can be worked. Keep the beds thoroughly moist until the seeds germinate. 
Transplant from June till October, setting them 6 to 8 inches apart, earth up 
as they grow, but do not let earth get into the heart of the plant. Celery 
seeds germinate slowly; soak 24 hours before planting. 
SELF BLANCHING CELERIES 
They grow so quickly and blanch so easily they should have 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 absence of strings make this a real delicacy. The 
stalks are broad, thick and heavy, and easily blanch to a rich, appe- 
tizing golden yellow. Easy. to grow, for it blanches with much less 
earthing up than most celeries. Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; 4 Ib. $2.00; tb. 
$7.50, postpaid. : 
137. Improved White Plume (115 Days)—The earliest and easiest to 
grow: being self-blanching, requires but little earthing up. Has a full 
heart that blanches pure white; the solid stalks are thick and crisp 
and have a rich nutty flavor. A fine celery for late summer and early 
fall use. Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; 14 Ib. $1.60; Ib. $6.00, postpaid. 
WINTER CELERIES 
Of firmer texture, more compact and solid than the self-blanching 
kinds, and better keepers. For late summer and early fall use we rec- 
ommend that a portion of your planting be a self-blanching kind, but 
for winter use that a winter variety be planted. 
“136. Giant Pascal (135 Days)—Large, thick stalks are crisp, have rich, 
nutty flavor and blanch easily and quickly. Heart is creamy yellow.

earthing up. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; V4 Ib. $1.60; Ib. $6.00, postpaid.

343. CELTUCE 
The young leaves may be used as a salad, but its chief value is the 
central stalk. After removing the outer skin down to where it is light 
green, cut into 4 or 5-inch lengths, split lengthwise, chill and eat as 
you would celery and carrots. The stalks may also be cooked in many 
ways. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; '/ Ib. $1.50.

ach. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; V4 Ib. 85c; Ib. $3.00, postpaid.

HEADER (80 Days} 
Heads up like a cabbage, yet is hardy enough to stand severe win- 
ters. It makes a nice sized head, with enough bottom leaves to ‘protect 
it. Stalk is short, head is firm, the slightly savoyed leaves are spaced 
close together; a late seeder. You can grow it on land so poor that 
it would not produce a crop of cabbage. All collard seed crops were 
poor. Our Carolina Header crop is now entirely sold out.
