CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL 



EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 



Comes 



CAULIFLOWER. 



German, ninmenkohl. French. Choufleur. 



As recommended in Cabbage culture, the seed for early plant- 

 ing should be sown in February or March in a hot-bed. trans- 

 planting the plants when large enough into another or the same 

 frame, and gradually hardening them off, preparatory to planting 

 them out as early as the ground is in a fit condition. For late 

 planting the seed should be sown in May in a cold frame or open 

 ground in soil that is well pulverized. Any good garden soil, 

 if thoroughly cultivated and made very rich by manuring, will 

 suit. Careful attention in the matter of 'watering, destroying 

 insects and thorough cultivation will be repaid. 



1 oz. for about 1.000 plants, set 2y 2 feet apart each wav. 



EARLY SNOWBALL-Extra Selected. 



The earliest of all Cauliflowers. 



By far the best early sort for the market gardener and 



truckers' use, and the standard variety for the amateur. 

 Sure to head and remain pure and white 



when others are discolored and unsalable. 



The heads measure eight to ten inches 



across when grown in good soil. 

 The seed we offer is of very superior quality and is grown 

 for us by one of the most reliable Cauliflower growers in 

 Europe, and the great care taken by him to keep it up to 

 the highest standard is manifested in the superiority of the 

 crops grown from it every year. It is of dwarf, compact 

 habit, heads very large, compact, pure white and of the 

 very best quality. Not only is this the best early variety, 

 but it is equally desirable for fall use. Pkt. 25c; H oz. 



75c; oz. $2.50; 2 ozs. $4.75: % lb. $9.00; 1 lb $32.00 



Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt (Extra Selected) — Dwarf and very 

 solid, with large, pure "white heads of very fine quality. 

 Previous to the introduction of the Snowball this was the 

 best variety for forcing, and the strain we offer is 

 superior to much of the so-called Snowball Cauliflower

CURRIE'S DANISH MARKET CAULIFLOWER— Extra Selected.

Heads larger and firmer, and weigh heavier than any other Cauliflower. 



Yields ten to twelve tons of solid flower to the acre. The favorite main crop Cauliflower. 



Our stock of this grand Cauli- 

 flower cannot be surpassed. It is 

 used bv many large growers in the 

 United'States to the total exclusion 

 of all other sorts. 



For packers and pickle growers 

 it has no equal, yielding as it 

 does, immense solid heads, many 

 of which weigh over ten pounds of 

 solid flower. 



It is a sure header. One of our 

 customers who grew fifty acres of 

 this Cauliflower last season is loud 

 in its praise. He says he never be- 

 fore saw such Cauliflower, and he 

 has grown the crop for market 

 many years. Every plant produced 

 a head, and such heads, many of 

 them so large that three filled a 

 bushel basket, and all perfectly 

 solid. His crop averaged over ten 

 tons of solid flower to the acre. 



Gardeners and truckers growing 

 Cauliflower should use our Seleced 

 Early Snowball for early and Cur- 

 rie's Danish Market for main crop.
