aule's Quality Cauliflower 



Culture: For extra early Cauliflower start the seed of the early, quick maturing 

 varieties in the fall in a cold frame or in early spring in a hotbed. When large enough, 

 transplant to the garden or field. For a main crop, to harvest during summer and 

 autumn, sow the seed in May or early June. One packet will produce about 150 

 plants, one ounce about 3000 plants. Four ounces are required for one acre. When 

 transplanting, set the plants 2 to 3 ft. apart each way. 



164 Maule's Prize Earliest ph 



The Earliest, Largest, and Surest Header %^ 

 (90 days) We consider this the earliest, finest, and most at- 

 tractive cauliflower. Every plant produces a head. It is a sure 

 header whether planted for forcing in frames or grown out- 

 doors 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 the plants 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. It is 

 particularly desirable for forcing under glass. The compact, 

 perfectly w'hite, closely formed heads are most attractive 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 for the early market. When the seed is sown 

 under glass in Februarj- and transplanted after danger of frost 

 is o\-er, perfect heads are produced in the earl\- da5's of June.

172 Early Favorite 



Second Early; Heat and Drought- 

 Resistant 



(115 days) Early Favorite forms large, solid heads 

 of remarkable size. It is classed as one of the 

 best second early varieties, producing a splendid 

 crop of pure wliite heads composed of a fine 

 grained, closely formed curd. Though it is best if 

 grown in a moderately cool climate, it has proven 

 to be quite resistant to heat and drought. Con- 

 sidering all its splendid qualities, it is no wonder 

 that it has become a great favorite with botli 

 home gardeners and market growers. Pkt. 10c; 

 Va oz. 40c; 1/2 oz. 65c; oz. $1.00; Vi lb. $3.00;

170 Super Snowball 



Beautiful, Snow White, Solid Heads 



(90 days) One of the earliest varieties and _ 

 markable for its uniformity of size, shape, and 

 type. Under favorable growing conditions, 'e\ery plant 

 will produce a head. It heads so evenly that the entire crop mav 

 be harvested withm a short time after it begins to mature. The 

 plants are vigorous and the erect leaves quite large and curl over 

 the heads protecting them from the sun. The large heads are pure 

 white, solid, and very firm. In most of the states probably the 

 best crop is raised from seed sown about the middle of May and 

 transplanted in July, allowing the plants to make their growth 

 during a cool period which is undoubtedly the best for raising 

 cauliflower. Pkt. 25c; 1/4 oz. Sl.OO; 1/2 oz. §1.75; oz. $3.00; 

 1/4 lb. $9.00; 1/2 lb. $16.50; lb. $30.00. 



168 Early Snowball 



Large, Solid, White Heads. A Sure Cropper 



(95 days) This standard cauliflower is known everywhere. It is a great favorite 

 in the home garden and with market growers. Produces large, solid, white heads 

 and does best in a moderately cool climate. The individuarheads average about 

 9 in. in diameter though they will grow as much as 12 in. across under favorable 

 conditions. Its earliness makes it also desirable for forcing under glass during 

 winter and spring. One of the most dependable and best qualitv varieties. 

 Pkt. 10c; V4 oz. 65c; V2 oz. $1.10; oz. S2.00; y. lb. S6.00; V2 lb. $11.00:

173 Autumn Goant 



A Splendid Long Season Variety 



(130 days) This is the largest and finest of all late cauliflower. The heads grow 

 to truly enormous size. They are firm, very white, and are composed of closely 

 formed curd. The quality is superb. The plants make a large quantity of foliage 

 and therefore require ample room for growing. Tlie foliage incurves over the 

 head and ser\-es as a protection against discoloration. Pkt. 10c; '4 oz. 15c; 

 1/2 oz. 25c; oz. 45c; 1/4 lb. $1.40; 1/2 lb. S2.60; lb. $4.75.

Forms Perfect Heads Wh en 



All Other Varieties Fail to 



Produce a Crop 



(105 days) This foremost 

 cauliflower originated in Den- 

 mark and is truly most out- 

 standing since it will produce 

 attractive, remarkably large 

 heads during dry seasons 

 when all other varieties of 

 cauliflow"er will be a complete 

 failure. It is a quality cauli- 

 flower in all respects. The 

 closely formed, pure white 

 curd is attractive and very 

 tender. Though it grows well 

 in dry seasons, moist or wet 

 seasons do not in any waj' 

 harm it. Pkt. 15c; V4 oz. 65c; 

 1/2 oz. $1.10; oz. $2.00;
