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 been 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; 1% oz., $1.75;

CULTURE—tThe 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 244 feet apart and 
142 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. Be is of dwarf, 
compact habit, heads very large and pure white. 4 oz., 80c; % oz.

EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT
