Extra 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 sur- 

 passed. For packers and pickle growers it has no equal, 

 yielding, as it does, immense, solid heads, many of 

 which weigh over 10 pounds each of solid flower. 



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 pos- 

 sesses to a marked degree the ability to resist without 

 deterioration extremely droughty conditions such as 

 have laeen experienced during recent seasons. Because 

 of this constitutional hardiness many growers, espe- 

 cially those in the drier, hotter sections, pin their 

 faith to this fine sort as against all other varieties.

EXTRA EARLY SNOWBALL or 

 DANISH PERFECTION 



The leaves, very closely enfolding the head, give it 

 a particularly attractive appearance when displayed 

 for sale, and as the inner leaves almost cover the 

 snow-white flower, the necessity of early tying up as 

 in the case of other early sorts is largely avoided. It 

 is the earliest strain of its type and recommended 

 for extra early marketing. % oz., $1.00; % oz., $1.75; 

 1 oz., $3.00; 2 oz., $4.75; % lb., $9.00; 1 lb., $30.00

CULTURE— The seed for early plant- 

 ing should be sown in February or 

 March in a hotbed, transplanting the 

 plants when large enough into another 

 or the same frame, and gradually hard- 

 ening 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 pul- 

 verized. Any good garden soil made 

 rich by manuring, will suit. When the 

 heads begin to form the leaves should 

 be tied together to prevent the flowers 

 becoming sunburnt and tough. In order 

 to have them tender and of good flavor 

 they must be gathered before they be- 

 come too large. 1 oz. for about 3,000 

 plants. Set in rows 21/2 feet apart and 

 1% feet in the row. 3 to 4 oz. to the 

 acre. 



Our Cauliflower Seed is grown in Den- 

 mark and is the best that can 

 be procured. 



EARLY SNOWBALL 



Extra Selected 



For years, this has been 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 



8 to 10 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, i^ oz., 70c; % oz., 



$1.20; 1 oz., $2.10; 2 02., $3.75; % lb., $7.50; 1 lb., $25.00; Pkt. 15c 



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. V^ oz., 75c; V2 oz., $1.25; 1 oz., 

 $2.25; 2 oz., $4.00; % lb., $7.25 Pkt. 15c
