Early Snowball Cauliflower 



CURRIES 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 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 degree the ability to resist without de- 

 terioration 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. Pkt., 15c; l / 4 oz., 

 80c; 1/2 oz., $1.45; 1 oz., $2.50; 2 ozs., $3.75; '/ 4 lb., $7.50; 

 1 lb., $25.00. 



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. Pkt., 25c; V 4 oz., $1.00; V z oz., $1.75; 

 1 oz., $3.00; 2 ozs., $4.75; «4 lb., $9.00; 1 lb., $34.00.

Bouquet. Soil, climate, requirements, plant growing, pest con- 

 trol, marketing, yields and values, costs, varieties and seed grow- 

 ing. $1.25. 



CULTURE— The Seed for early plant- 

 ing should be sown in February or 

 March in a hot-bed, 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 2% feet apart and 

 1% 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 

 (he 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.
