SUPER SNOWBALL 
CAULIFLOWER 
170 SUPER SNOWBALL 
The earliest cauliflower (82 days) 
Super Snowball is not only the earliest cauliflower, but it is also 
remarkable for its uniformity of size, shape, and type. Plants 
are vigorous; leaves are erect, quite large, and curl over the heads, 
protecting them from th2 sun. The large heads are snow 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 best for raising good cauliflower. 
Pkt. 20¢; 14 oz. $1.50; 4 oz. $2.75; oz. $5.25. 
165 Dry Weather 
Forms perfect heads when others fail through drouth (95 days) 
Originated in Denmark and is truly outstanding as it will produce attractive, 
remarkably large heads during adverse dry weather when other varieties are a 
failure. It is a quality cauliflower 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 harm it in any way. 
Pkt. 15¢; 14 oz. $1.00; 1 oz. $1.85; oz. $3.50. 

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 ina 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 for an 
acre. Days to maturity are from field setting of plants.

164 Maule’s Prize Early 
The largest, most uniform header (90 days)

most attractive early cauliflowers. It heads most uniformly, whether planted 
for forcing under glass, in frames, or grown outdoors for either early or late 
crop. The growth of the plants is dwarf and compact, so that they can be set 
as close as 18 in. apart in the field. The compact, perfectly white, closely 
formed heads are ready sellers and are sure to bring a high price in the market.
