CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 



CURRIE'S DANISH MARKET 

 CAULIFLOWER. 



"Dry Weather" — Extra Selected. 



Comes in about three weeks later than our Selected Early 



Snowball. Heads larger and firmer. 



Our stock of this grand Cauliflower cannot be surpassed. 

 For packers and pickle growers it has no equal, yielding, as 

 it does, immense, solid heads, many of which weigh over ten 

 pounds each of solid flower. 



One of our customers, who 

 grows from 70 to 100 acres of 

 this Cauliflower every year, pro- 

 duces an average of 10 tons of 

 solid flower to the acre. Every 

 plant produces a head, many of 

 them so large that three fill a 

 bushel basket and all perfectly 

 solid. As the name "Dry 

 "Weather" implies, this variety 

 possesses to a marked degree the 

 ability to resist without deterior- 

 ation extremely droughty condi- 

 tions such as obtained during the 

 seasons of 1910 and 1911. Be- 

 cause of this constitutional hard- 

 iness many growers, especially 

 those in the dryer, hotter sec- 

 tions, pin their faith to this fine 

 sort as against all other var- 

 ieties.

CAULIFLOWER. 



German, Blumenkohl. French, Choufleur. 



The Seed for early planting should be sown in February or 

 March in a hot-bed, transplanting the plants when large 

 enough into another or the same frame, and gradually harden- 

 ing 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, made rich by manur- 

 ing, will suit. 



1 oz. for about 1,000 plants. Set in rows 2% feet apart and 1% 

 feet in the row. 



EARLY SNOWBALL-Extra Selected. 



The Earliest of All Cauliflowers. 



By far the best early sort for the market gardener and 



trucker's 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 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 and pure white. Pkt. 25c; % oz. 

 75c; oz. $2.50; 2 ozs. $4.75; *4 lb. $9.00; 1 lb $32.00 



Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt (Extra Selected) — 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. Pkt. 20c; % oz. 75c; 

 oz. $2.25; 2 ozs. $4.25; % lb. $8.00; 1 lb $30.00
