14 CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 4 
CAULIFLOWER 
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 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. 
1 oz. for about 5,000 plants. Set in rows 21% feet 
apart and 11% feet in the row. 3 to 4 oz. to

EXTRA EARLY SNOWBALL OR DANISH 
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 maturing, the 
crops being taken off clean at practically the 
first cutting. The leaves, very closely enfolding 
the head, give it a particularly attractive ap- 
pearance when di&Splayed 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. 20c; % oz) S8bde; 
oz. $3.00; 2 ozs. $5.50; 144 lb. $10.00. 
Early Snowball Cauliflower.

“Dry Weather” 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.

EARLY SNOWBALL 
Extra Selected. 
For years this has been the best early sort for the market gar- 
dener 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 mexsure 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 America, 
and the great care taken to keep it up to the highest standard 
is manifested in the superiority of the crops grown from it 
last year. It is of dwarf, compact habit, heads very large 
and pure white. Pkt. 20c; %4 oz. 85c; oz. $3.00; 2 ozs. $5.50;
