Soil should be richly manured 

 and deeply dug. Sow as early 

 as the ground can be worked, 

 or for late crop until latter 

 part of July, in drills, 15 to 

 18 inches apart, finally thin- 

 ning plants to about 3 to 4 

 inches apart in the drill. The 

 seed is slow to germinate, and 

 if sown early or on moist soil, 

 half an inch is deep enough to 

 cover the seed.

CAULIFLOWER 



CLU MENKOHL The culture of Cauliflower is similar to cab- 

 1 ^, unn onnn ~i„„* bage. It delights in a rich, moist soil, and in 

 1 oz., 1500-2000 plants. dry sea sons should be abundantly watered, espe- 

 cially when heading. Sow seed in hot-bed in 

 January or February, and transplant the plants, 

 2 or 3 inches apart, in boxes or in open ground, 

 which in this latitude is usually done from the 

 15th of March to the 10th of April. Set the 

 plants 2 feet by 15 inches apart. If properly 

 hardened off, they are seldom injured by plant- 

 ing out too early. When heading, tie the outside 

 leaves loosely over the head to protect it from 

 the sun. 



Early Snowball. Th t e be f* va , rlet t v ^ on J ne ™ ar - 



•' ket. If planted March 1, 



large heads will be produced early in June, and 

 scarcely a single head will fail to form. Ita 

 compact habit renders it a very profitable variety 

 to force under glass, and it does well for late 

 planting. Our stock cannot be excelled in quality.

 weather. It matures about one week later than 

 our Early Snowball. Pkt. 25c; oz. $2.00; lb. $22.00.
