SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS
Early Snowball Cauliflower
CHINESE CABBAGE
Chinese or Celery Cabbage belongs to the cabbage family
but more closely resembles lettuce. For best results plant
the seed late in July or very early in August as spring plant-
ings in this section are liable to bolt to seed. Plant the
seed in the permanent bed and thin out to stand 12 to 15
inches apart.
Pe-Tsai Wong-Bok The finest Chinese cabbage in
^ existence. The heads are large,
compact and the crisp, tender interior blanches to a creamy
white. It will stand long before bolting to seed and is not
injured by light frosts.
CAULIFLOWER
1 ounce to 2,000 plants.
For an early crop sow the seed either indoors or in a hot-
bed in January or February, transplanting them to 2 or 3
inches apart, thus allowing the plants to put forth a vigor-
ous growth before being set in the permanent rows.
As soon as danger of freezing is over, set the plants in the
open ground in rows 2% to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart
in the row. Cultivate often and thoroughly. For fall crop
sow the seeds during April or May. It is well to plan so
that the early crop heads before very hot weather and the
late crop matures after hot weather.
best early variety in cultiva-
If planted March 1st, large
heads will be produced early in June, and scarcely a single
plant will fail to form a head.

CELERIAC
Sow seed and cultivate same as celery,
with the exception that it is not neces-
sary to blanch the plants. When the
roots attain a diameter of two inches
they are fit for use. To keep these
through the winter, pack in damp earth
or sand and store them in a cellar or
leave them out of doors, covering with
earth and straw for protection.
Large Smooth Prague ^'l^l
largest, very smooth and almost round
with very few side roots. Plants are
vigorous, with large dark green foliage.
