Cauliflower 
Early Snowball 
Cauliflower 
1 Oz. Will Produce 2,000 Plants ‘ 
Culture—Grow the same as Cabbage, being sure to 
have a deep rich soil, well drained and an abund- 
ance of moisture. For an early crop sow seed % 
in. deep in the hot bed in January or February and 
set out early when frost is out of the ground, plac- 
ing plants 1% to 2 ft. apart in 2% ft. rows. For a 
fall crop sow seed June first and transplant about 
July 15th. After the head reaches a diameter of 4 
ins. gather the leaves together loosely and tie them 
at the top to blanch heads and prevent injury from 
sunlight. 
EARLY SNOWBALL 
55 Days from Plants—Snowball is without a doubt, 
the best and most widely used for market and home 
growing. Extra early and a dependable header, well 
adapted to forcing or Winter use. Plants dwarf in 
growth, compact in habit which allows for closer 
planting. Heads are large, 6 to 8 ins. across, beau- 
tifully formed, solid, pure white and of finest 
quality. 
SNOWDRIFT 
57 Days from Plants—Noted for its extremely white 
heads which are large, deep and have a fine, tight 
curd. The plants are sturdy and their large leaves 
cover the head exceptionally well. Head slightly lar- 
ger than Snowball. 
AUTUMN GIANT 
90 Days from Plants—A valuable and distinct late 
variety produces immense compact white heads, 
8 to 10 ins. in diameter. Like all late varieties, it is 
recommended for fall crop only and in regions 
where cauliflower is sure to thrive. 
Celeriac Turnip Rooted Celery 
1 Oz. Will Produce 6,000 Plants 
GIANT PRAGUE 
120 Days—This vegetable is grown exclusively for 
its roots which are turnip-shaped; very smooth and 
tender, good winter keeper. Culture is the same as 
celery except it does not require blanching, the tops 
being of no use except for flavoring. Boiled and pre- 
pared as a salad, it has a rich celery flavor. Also 
used in soups, stews and raw salads.

Celery 
1 Oz. for 6,000 Plants; 4 Lbs. per Acre 
Culture—As soon as the ground is workable, sow 
¥% in. deep in open seed beds richly prepared and 
finely pulverized. 
Celery seed germinates slowly and will sprout at 
low temperatures, but it needs constant and abund- 
ant moisture. Thin seedlings to an inch apart and 
trim tops before transplanting so as to have nice 
stocky plants. Transplant June or July, using rich 
well-manured soil and plant in rows 3 to 4 ft. apart 
and 6 ins. apart in the row. Firm the soil around the 
young roots, keep free from weeds and provide 
liberal water in dry weather throughout the grow- 
ing season. To blanch, earth up gradually in the 
Fall, taking care that no earth falls into the hearts 
and never hoe while wet, as it will cause rust. Re- 
peat until only the tops can be seen. Boards, celery 
paper or paper cylinders are other methods of 
blanching the stalks. 
WONDERFUL OR GOLDEN PLUME 
110 Days—As the name applies, this is a really 
wonderful celery with unquestionable merit in qual- 
ity, flavor, sweetness and size. The ideal variety for 
home and market garden planting. Very profitable 
for nearby markets and a perfect shipper to distant 
markets. It grows well'on muck and upland and is 
absolutely the earliest celery grown. Plants medium 
height with compact, full heart. Stalks solid, thick 
and broad, free from strings and blanches readily 
to golden yellow. 
GIANT PASCAL 
135 Days—Considered by many the late standard 
variety for Winter use. Plants large, stocky with 
rich dark green leaves. Stalks long, thick and solid, 
tender, brittle and a very rich nutty flavor. The 
stalks are green, but after earthing up they become 
a attractive creamy white. It is a perfect Winter 
eeper. 
WINTER QUEEN 
120 Days—A long keeping winter celery. Stalks ¢ 
pale green, broad solid and crisp, blanching readily 
to a creamy white.
