Cauliflower is the highest-priced vegetable seed on the entire list, 

 but my customers can absolutely depend upon the seed listed below 

 as being the very best obtainable. 



Culture. — The treatment of Cauliflower is verj' similar to that of 

 Cabbage. For spring crops the seed should be sown in hotbeds earl)- 

 in Februarj', transplanting the young plants to the garden early in 

 April. For the main or fall crop, seed should be sown about June 

 and the young plants set out the latter part of Julj'.

Danish Dry Weather Cauliflower 



try the greatest Cauliflower-growing sections in the United States, but in the 

 Danish Dry Weather Cauliflower we have a strain that is particularly adapted 

 for growing awa}' from water, and will succeed where others will fail. On this 

 account it makes fine, large, solid heads, weighing from 3 to 8 pounds. This 

 Danish Dry Weather Cauliflower can even be grown in such dry-weather 

 states as Arizona, where the Agricultural E.xperiment Station, in its Bulletin
