CARROTS, RED CORED CHANTENAY 
Chinese Cabbage 
CHIHLI. A quaint, distinct early variety of 
great merit which we think superior to all 
other types. Heads are long, almost cylindri- 
cal, bleached pure white, very solid and of 
superior quality. The upright growth and the 
shape of the heads permit closer planting 
than of other kinds. Although of recent intro- 
duction, it is already very popular on most 
markets. It is important to sow at the right 
time in July and August as spring sowing will 
bolt to seed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c. 
Swiss Chard 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 6 to 10 Ibs. per acre. 
LUCULLUS. A variety of beet grown exclu- 
sively for its large, juicy, tender, light colored 
leaves and leaf stalks, which are much super- 
ior to those of other beets for use as greens. 
Swiss Chard is also greatly relished by chick- 
ens. Poultrymen will find this a valuable food 
for young chicks as well as laying hens that 
are kept constantly penned up. Pkg. 10c; oz. 
20c; 4 Ib. 50c; '/o Ib. 80c; 1 Ib. $1.50. 
RHUBARB CHARD. A new Swiss Chard that 
looks like Rhubarb. The leaf stalks are bright 
but delicate, translucent crimson; the rich 
color extends out through the veins into the 
dark green, heavily crumpled leaves. Differ- 
ent, tasty, delicious flavor. Easily grown, 
thrives everywhere. Pkt. 15c; oz. 40c. 
Carrots 
V4 oz. to 100 ft., 3 to 4 Ibs. per acre. 
CULTURE—Sow seed in light sandy soil, from 
April to July, in drills 1% feet apart, covering 
the seed % inch deep. Thin out the young 
plants from 3 to 5 inches apart, according to 
size of variety. Cultivate freely and do not 
allow the soil to get too dry during hot 
weather.

NANTES or CORELESS. This is one of the 
finest of all table carrots, about six inches 
long and slightly over one inch in diameter 
when fully matured. It is stump rooted and 
very uniform in size the full length. The flesh 
is exceptionally tender and sweet and the 
flavor is fine, either cooked or raw as in 
salads. Our strain is almost entirely coreless, 
which makes it unsurpassed for canning pur- 
poses. 
DANVERS HALF-LONG. The best known of 
all yellow carrots. It is shorter and easier to 
pull than the Long Orange and one of the 
best yielders. The quality is excellent. Very 
fine for table or stock. 
LONG ORANGE. This is an old and well 
known variety in use for many years as a 
stock carrot. However, owing to its bright 
color and shape many market gardeners are 
finding a ready sale for it in the stores and 
markets, 

CAULIFLOWER, EARLY SNOWBALL 
RED CORED CHATENAY. A new variety 
of carrot with tops shorter and finer cut than 
Chantenay. The roots are about six inches 
long and two inches in diameter. The core 
is quite red and in cooking retains its color 
to a remarkable extent. It has all the good 
qualities of both the Chantenay and the Nan- 
tes, and about 10 per cent greater sugar con- 
tent than either variety. A fine market sort. 
OXHEART or GUERANDE. Short and thick 
intermediate, between the half-long and the 
Early Horn varieties; three or four inches in 
diameter at the neck. Of most beautiful color 
and shape. 
IMPERATOR. A long, smooth, handsome car- 
rot. Roots have rounded shoulders, smooth, 
deep rich orange; uniformly tapered to a semi- 
blunt end. Flesh rich orange color, extending 
to center of root; fine grained, tender and of 
excellent quality. An ideal bunching carrot. 
Stock Carrots 
WHITE BELGIAN. In ground. This is the 
largest and best of the white stock carrots. 
‘The roots are 8 to 10 inches long and 38 to 4 
inches thick at the top. They have almost en- 
tirely displaced the Short White or Mastodon 
owing to their superior quality and yield.

YELLOW BELGIAN. A new carrot similar to 
the White Belgian in every way except the

Cauliflower 
Yo oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
CULTURE—The same methods that produce 
good Cabbage will grow good Cauliflower. The 
only great difference is that Cauliflower heads 
must be protected from sunlight so as to make 
sure of the desirable white curd. Gather the 
tops of the leaves together loosely as soon 
as the heads begin to form. In shutting off 
phe eee it is important not to cramp the 
eads. 
HENDERSON’S EARLY SNOWBALL. The 
best known and most used of all the early 
cauliflowers. A great favorite with the market 
gardeners; for both early and late planting. 
Produces beautiful snow-white heads of the 
ae delicious flavor. Pkg. 15c; '4 oz. 75c; oz.

the late cauliflowers. It produces immense 
compact white heads, 8 to 10 inches in diam- 
eter. Plants are large and vigorous. Pkt. 15c;

give same treatment as common celery.

use. 
CELERIAC (Turnip-rooted Celery). This is 
distinct in growth from all the tall celeries. 
The edible portion is the large, swollen root, 
which somewhat resembles a turnip, and is 
highly esteemed for boiling or for flavoring

CELERY, UTAH 
Celery 
V4 oz. to 100 ft., 4 oz. per acre. 
CULTURE — Sow from February to May in 
drills 1 foot apart. Later, usually in June, 
transplant to rows 3 feet apart and 6 inches 
apart in row. Rows should be furrowed out so 
plants may be set 6 inches deep. Later, soil 
may be banked against rows for blanching, 
even so-called self-blanching varieties need- 
ing the cool, moist soil to render the stalks 
crisp and tender, but this should not be done 
until a few weeks before harvesting. One 
ounce of seed will produce five thousand 
plants. 
GOLDEN PLUME. A yellow celery resem- 
bling the Golden Self-Blanching in several 
respects. Its height is about the same, but it is 
about two weeks earlier. It also makes a larger 
bunch which blanches easier and whiter. It is 
especially recommended for the home gar- 
den on account of its hardiness, easiness to 
blanch and its fine quality. Pkg. 10c; 2 oz. 
SOc) 110z. 50c. : 5 
WHITE PLUME. Most popular with white 
stalks and leaves. Very ornamental. Does not 
require so much banking up for blanching as 
the other kinds. Pkg. 10c; '/2 0z. 30c; 1 oz. 50c. 
GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY. A 
good variety especially for later crop. The 
plant is naturally golden-yellow, both leaves 
and stems. Forms a small bunch. Pkg. 10¢; '/2 
oz. 30c; 1 oz. 50c. 
UTAH or GOLDEN CRISP. A late celery 
that has come into favor during recent years. 
The plants are sturdy, compact and solid. 
Stems broad, thick and well rounded, flavor 
rich and nutty. Pkg. 10c; Ys oz. 30c; 1 oz. 50c. 
Celtuce 
A new vegetable. The plant begins its 
growth like lettuce, when the green leaves 
may be used in salads. Later the seed stalk 
elongates, becoming 18 inches and 1% inches 
in diameter. This stalk is tender, pale trans- 
lucent green in color, very succulent, with a 
flavor like that of celery and lettuce delici- 
ously blended. Celtuce grows best under the 
same conditions of soil, temperature and mois- 
ture as lettuce. Sow the seed as early as 
possible in the spring, covering only lightly 
in rows 18 inches or more apart. Thin or 
transplant to stand at least 10 inches apart 
in the row. Per pkg. 10c; 1 oz. 60c. 
Chicory 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 4 to 5 Ibs. per acre. 
LARGE ROOTED. The dried roots of chicory 
are used as a substitute for coffee. Experi- 
ments have proven that the leaves are rich 
in vitamins and are very valuable as a poultry 
food. Also used in salads. Pkg. 10c. 
Chives 
A perennial onion-like plant that is used 
as a flavoring for salads and soups. It can be 
easily started from seed and a bed when once 
started is good for several years before it is 
necessary to replant. Pkg. 10c.
