8o CAULIFLOWER. 



coast some very good seed has been grown. Last 

 year we tested two samples; one Early Snowball, 

 the other. Dwarf Erfurt. The first named sorts 

 made very leafy heads, the other was as good as could 

 be desired. From our experience with these sorts, 

 another trial might be the exact reverse. Thus far, 

 as a market gardener's crop, we should not dare to 

 rely upon the Pacific coast seed, but we predict, with 

 confidence, that the time will come when as good 

 seed will be produced in our Pacific states as we can 

 get from Denmark. Experience is a great educator, 

 and when applied carefully, and with a determination 

 to succeed, success will come. 



It must not for a moment be supposed that all 

 the seed that comes from Denmark is grown there. 

 They have merchants there with as keen an eye to 

 profit as any in the world, and from Danish stock 

 cauliflower seed is grown from Norway to Algiers. 

 In appearance there is but little difference, but there 

 is a test that is more safe, viz., price. When that is 

 low, it is safe to conclude that the seed was not 

 grown in Denmark, for Danish seed always com- 

 mands a high price. But there is a more crucial 

 test. Give one of those who offer seed at a low price 

 an order conditioned upon its good quality, payment 

 to be made after testing it. No matter how high 

 may be the rating of the one giving the order, and 

 even if lo per cent, were added to the price for 

 interest, the order would not be recognized.
