CAULIFLOWER. 



A splendid money crop where the soil Is rich and the climate cool and damp. 



Culture. — .same as cabbage. Sometimes the seed is 30wed in .September, and the yonng 

 plants wintered over, to save time in spring. Pin or tie tLie leaves together after the head or 

 tlower has begun to form. This will preserve the snowy whiteness. An ounce of seed wlli 

 produce about a.oOO plants if carefully mauageU. 



MAULE'S PRIZE EARLIKST For many 



years I have challenged the woihl to pinduce a 

 finer, handsomer or earlier caulitlower than my 

 Prize Earliest. It is earlier than the famous 

 Snowball and every other variety. Whether for 

 forcing under glass or growing in the open 

 ground, and whether planted early or late, it is 

 the surest header of all. It is very dwarf and 

 compact in habit of growth, like the Snowball, 

 and can be planted as close as IS inches each 

 way for forcing, or where space is limited. 

 Maule's Prize Earliest is particularly desirable 

 for forcing under glass, while in my open air 

 trials every plant has produced a head, excel- 

 ling all other varieties in earliness, size and 

 iiualitv. It is unqiiestionablv the best of all. 

 Pkt., 2.5 cts.; '4 oz., Sl.OO; oz., Si.jO; '4' lb., S12.00. 



AUTUMN GIANT This is a large variety, 



with tine, well proportioned heads. The heads 

 are so well protected by the foliage as to remain 

 a long time fit for use. Adapted to late culture. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, tiS cents; J^ pound, $2.00. 



K.\HI>V S.VOWIJAI.I^ One nf tin- li.-Bt an^l 



most popular .-landard sorts. It lieloriijs to iht' 

 same group of cauliflowers as Maule's Priz" 

 Earliest and stands next to it in points of earli- 

 ness and excellence. Produces heads 9 inches 

 across in this latitude by .luue 10th; and under 

 good treatment every plant will produce a head. 

 Packet, 20 cents; '4 ounce, 7.') cents; ounce, $2.7'). 



EARLIEST DWARF ERFURT This is 



really a first-class cauliflower, and next to my 

 Prize Earliest and Snowball is the best and sur- 

 est to'head. It would be a leader, except for the 

 two especially fine types above mentioned. As 

 it is, it finds" special favor in some sections. 

 Packet, 15 cents; '4 ounce, ()•"> cents; ounce, S2.')0. 



EXTRA EARLY PARIS Very early, pro- 

 ducing a good, white head. The head large, solid 

 and compact. This cauliflower is frequently 

 used for forcing. Pkt, ,5c.; oz., OOc; '4 lb., $1.7.5. 



EARLY LONDON — This is an early variety, tjl 

 sure to head, and excellent in every way
