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 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.

CURRIE'S DANISH MARKET 

 CAULIFLOWER 



"Dry Weather" — Extra Selected. 



Comes in about three weeks later thnn our Selected Early 

 Snowball. 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, 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 conditions such as have been experienced during recent 

 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 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 measure 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 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; Vi oz. 85c; oz. $3.00; 2 ozs. $5.75; 

 V4 lb. $10.50. 



Velteh's Autumn Giant — A large late variety of vigorous habit.

EXTRA EARLY SNOWBALL, OR DANISH 

 PERFECTION. 



This new strain, introduced a few 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 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; Vi oz. 85c;
