Maulers Cauliflower 



Culture: For early cauliflower, start the seed of the early, quick maturing varieties indoors or 

 under glass during February or March. When soil has become warm, transplant seedlings to the 

 garden. For a main crop to cut during the summer and autumn sow seed in May or early June in 

 a specially prepared seedbed or frame; transplant seedlings to garden in late June or early July, 

 setting the plants 2 ft. apart, in rows 3 ft. apart. A packet will produce about 150 plants; an 

 ounce about 4,000 plants. Two ounces are required to produce enough plants for an acre. Days 

 to maturity are from field setting of plants. 



170 SUPER SNOWBALL (82 days) « 



A prize cauliflower for the home and market gardener 



One of the earliest cauliflowers and remarkable for its uniformity of 



size, shape and type. Under favorable growing conditions and good soil, 



best results are to be had. It heads so evenly that often the entire crop 



may be harvested within a short time after it begins to mature. Plants 



are vigorous; leaves are erect, quite large and curl over the heads so as 



to protect them from the sun. The large heads are pure white, solid, 



and very firm. In most sections the best heads are raised from seed sown about 



the middle of May and plants set out in late June or July; this allows the plants 



to make their growth during cool weather, which is the best for raising good 



cauliflower. Pkt. 20(i!; 1/4 oz. $1.75; 1/2 oz. $3.25; oz. $6.00.

164 Maule*s Prize Earliest ij; 



The largest, most uniform header (90 days) 



Maule's Prize Earliest has long been considered the 

 finest, largest, most attractive extra early cauliflower. 

 It heads most uniformly, whether planted for forcing 

 under glass, in frames, or grown outdoors for either early 

 or late crop. The heads mature all at about the same 

 time. The growth of the plants is dwarf and compact so 

 that they can be set as close as 18 in. apart in the frame 

 or field. Such close planting naturally means a greatly 

 increased yield from a given space of ground. The com- 

 pact, perfectly white, closely formed heads are ready 

 sellers and are sure to bring a high price in the market. 

 No one who has had experience with Maule's Prize 

 Earliest is likely to grow any other.

173 Aufumn Giant — well-known Cauliflower 



Splendid long season variety; immense, compact white heads (130 days) 



The largest and finest of all late cauliflowers. Heads grow to truly enormous size; firm, very 

 white, and composed of closely formed curd. The quality is superb. Plants make a large quan- 

 tity of foliage and, therefore, require ample room for growing. The foliage incurves over the 

 head and serves as a protection against discoloration. Needs a long growing season.

166 Danamerica (85 days) 



A sure producer of large crops 



Danamerica is a cauliflower of the 

 super-snowball type, of remarkable ' 

 heading ability when growing condi- 

 tions are unfavorable for best develop- 

 ment. When soil and weather are suit- 

 able, crops producing from 95 to 100 per 

 cent of marketable heads are frequently 

 harvested. Long, heavy outer leaves 

 and curving inner leaves provide pro- 

 tection for the heads so that they are 

 usually snow-white and unblemished. 

 The uniformity and large size of the 

 heads are also outstanding features of 

 this variety. Those who grow cauli- 

 flower for the market should give Dan- 

 america a trial. Many have done so with 

 an increase in yields and profits.
