 CAULIFLOWER 



'•Dry AVeather" — Extra Selected. 



Comes in about three vreeks later than our Selected Early 

 Snon'ball. 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, inimense, solid heads, many of which weigh over ten 

 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 "U'eather"' implies, this variety possesses to a marked de- 

 gree the ability to resist without deterioration extremely 

 droughty conditions such as have been experienced during recent 

 seasons." Because of this constitutional hardiness many growers, 

 especially those in the dryer, hotter sections, pin their faith to 

 this fine sort as against all other varieties.

EXTRA E.4.RLY SXOWBALL OR DAXISH PERFECTION. 



This new strain, introduced about 5 years ago by one of the 

 leading Cauliflower seed growers of Denmark, possesses 

 all the good qualities- of the best Early Snowball strains 

 and in addition has shown an unusual uniformity in ma- 

 turing, the crops being taken off clean at practically the 

 first cutting. The leaves, very closely enfolding the head, 

 give it a particularly attractive appearance when dis- 

 played 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. % pkt. 15c; pkt. 25c; Vs oz. SOc; ^4 oz.

Culture — The Seed for early planting should be 

 sown in February or March in a hot-bed. trans- 

 planting the plants when large enough into an- 

 other 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 plant- 

 ing 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 manuring, will suit. 

 When the heads begin to form the leaves should be 

 tied together to avoid the flower to become sun- 

 burnt and tough. In order to have them tender and 

 of good flavor they must be gathered before they 

 become too large.
