Chinese Cabbage 
A packet will sow 30 feet of row; 1 ounce 300, to 400 feet; 4 ounces per acre. 
We advise that the seed be sown in July or August (not earlier) because Chinese Cabbage 
has a tendency to bolt to seed in warm weather. Sow where the plants are to remain in rows 
2% feet apart, 18 inches apart in the row. It is very easily grown and takes very little space. 
The crop matures in from 8 to 10 weeks. 
iabetia 338 Michihli—tThe Finest Strain Pkt., 10c; Y% 0z., 25c; oz., 40c; % 1b., 90c; 1b., $2.50 
Michihli ; Aa ag Bu : Sata aa 
Greater Uniformity and Color This new type closely resembles the standard Chihli but is far superior in its ability to produce fine 
uniform heads. It is early and heads evenly, growing about 18 inches tall and 312 to 4 inches thick. 
The attractive dark green leaves fold up close together making firm long heads tapering at the top. 
Blanching pure white inside, they are tender, crisp and sweet with an agreeably spicy flavor. Mich- 
ibli is sure-heading and will remain in prime condition for a long time. Market growers on muck 
or upland find these long attractive heads sell readily and home gardeners appreciate its wonderful 
quality. 
Carrots 
A packet will sow 30 feet of row; 1 ounce 200 feet; 3 pounds per acre. 
Golden Carrots, served cooked or raw, are a welcome delicacy on a menu the year around. If you 
have a sandy corner in your garden, sow your Carrots there for the smoothest roots. Several rows re- 
seeded at regular intervals from early spring through July, will provide you with a good supply of this 
garden favorite. Don’t neglect to thin the plants to a distance of several inches apart. Gardeners 
classify Carrot seed as a slow germinator. 
349 Nantes or Coreless Pkt., 15c; % oz., 30c; 0z., 55c; “% 1b., $1.50; Y% Ib., $2.00

The texture of the root is very tender and delicate and referred to as coreless. It is cylindrical, taper- 
ing to a blunt end that averages 6 to 7 inches in length. 
340 Chantenay Red-Cored Pkt., 10c; % oz., 25c; 0z., 40c; % Ib., 90c; Ye lb., $1.35 
(70 days.) Growers have been looking for a coreless Carrot of the Chantenay type. Here it is at 
last. Instead of the light colored core which has always shown in 
the Chantenay and Danvers, this new strain has the deep orange-red 
color through to the center. The strain we offer is very smooth and 
uniform in shape.

10c; Y% oz., 25c; oz., 40c; % 1b., 90c; Y 1b., $1.35

Early Maturing Strain 
Cauliflower 
One ounce will produce 1500 to 2000 plants, or about 3000 plants in frames; 
a packet about 150 plants; %4 1b. per acre. 
Early and late Cauliflower plants are grown the same as Cabbage. Richness of soil and even- 
ness of moisture are essential to the best culture. When the heads have developed to several 
inches in diameter, draw the leaves together at the top and tie with a soft string. Mix Peat Moss 
with the soil in your plant bed for better roots and sturdier plants. 
361 Snowball (Perfected Strain) Pkt., 25c; %4 oz., 90c; Ye oz., $1.75; oz., $3.00 
(65 days.) Snowball Perfected is about a week later than Snowdrift. Plant more vigorous. 
Has better leaf cover. The extra vigor in the plants seem to give the Cauliflower some ability 
to overcome adverse conditions and we believe that Snowball Perfected is one of the surest 
heading Cauliflower. Later than Snowdrift, it is also quite uniform in maturity and produces 
heads slightly larger than Snowdrift, of equally firm and good texture. It has performed well 
in New York State with market growers who use it for a late sure heading Cauliflower for use 
in the fall. 
362 Super Snowball Pkt., 25c; Y% 0z., $1.00; % oz., $1.90; 02., $3.35 
(55 days.) Best early variety. Best suited for starting in the greenhouse for early spring plant- 
ing to mature in mid-June. Plants mature evenly and heads are well protected by leaves. Our 
strain can be harvested in about 10 days from the first cutting. This is necessary in an early 
Snowball Perfected Strain crop of Cauliflower which must be harvested before the warm weather of July which affects 
Popular Midseason Strain the quality of all Cauliflower. Recommended for planting for early market.
