CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



CAULIFLOWER 



Culture — The Seed for early planting should be 

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

 planting- the plants when larg'e enough into an- 

 other or the saine frame, and g'radually hardening 

 the>n off, preparatory to planting tliem 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 fraine 

 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 prevent the flower's becoming sun- 

 burnt and tough. In order to have them tender 

 and of good flavor they must be gathered before 

 they become too large.

CURRIE'S DANISH MARKET CAULIFLOWER. 



"Dry 'Weather" — Extra Selected. 



Comes in about three «-ecks later than our Selected Early 



SnoTiball. Heads larger and flnner. 



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. 



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 de- 

 gree the ability to resist without deterioration extremely 

 droughty condition such as have been experienced during re- 

 cent seasons. Because of this constitutional hardiness many 

 growers, especially those in the drier, hotter sections, pin their 

 faith to this fine sort as against all other varieties.

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 T»hite T»-hen otiiers are dis 

 colored and unsalable. The heads measure eight 

 to ten Inches across Trhcn gro^vn in good soil. 



The Seed we offer is of very superior quality and is 

 grown for us by one of the most reliable Cauli- 

 flower growers in Europe, and tlie 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.

EXTRA EARLY SNOWBALL, OR DANISH PERFECTION. 



The leaves, very closely enfolding the head, give it a particu- 

 larly 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 recominended for extra early marketing. Pkt. 20c; 

 Vi oz. 70c; i/o oz. $1.30; oz. $2.50; 2 ozs. $4.75; % lb. $9.00. 



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. 15c; % oz. 65c; oz. 

 $2.25; 2 ozs. $4.25; % lb. $8.00.
