"Dry Weather" — Extra Selected. 



Comes in about three -tveeks later than oup Selected Early 

 Snowball. Heads larger and firmer. 



Our stock of this grand Cauliflower cannot be surpassed. 

 For paclcers and piclcle growers it has no equal, yielding, as 

 it does, immense, solid heads, many of which weig'h 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.

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, w^ill 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 5,00O plants. Set In rows 2% feet 



apart and IVs feet In the row. 3 to 4 oz.

EARLY SNOWBALL. 



Extra Selected. 



For years this has been the best early sort for the 

 market gardener and tracker's use, and the 

 standard variety for the amateur. Sure to head 

 and remain pure and white when others are dis- 

 colored and unsalable. The heads measure eight 

 to ten inches across when grown In good soil. 



The seed we offer is of very superior quality and la 

 grown for us by one of the most reliable Cauli- 

 flower 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. Pkt. 

 20c; k oz. 70o; % oz. $1.30; oz. $2.50; 2 ozs. $4.75; 

 hi lb. $9.00. 



EXTRA EARLY SNOWBALL OR DANISH PERFECTION. 



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

 larlj' 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. Pkt. 

 20c; % oz. 70c; % oz. $1.30; oz. $2.50; 2 ozs. $4.75; V4 lb. 

 $9.00.

 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; hi oz. 65c; oz. 

 $2.25; 2 ozs. $4.25; V* lb. $8.00.
