Earliest Snowball Cauliflower 



CAULIFLOWER 



Culture. — Cauliflower is best adapted to growth in a cool, moist climate, as it rebels against heat, dry weather and low humidity. 

 Climatic conditions, however, seem to have very little effect on one of the newer varieties which has been introduced within the last 

 few seasons — Danish Dry Weather — for with this new Cauliflower inland growers have had a marked degree of success. Overhead 

 irrigation has proved to be of value to crops under such circumstances. Cauliflower plants are a little more tender than cabbage, 

 and should not be sown until after March 1 in the latitude of New Jersey. One otince will produce from 2,500 to 3,000 plants. 



170 Alabaster 



Early Dwarf Erfurt 



Where the very early market is no consideration, we would 

 advise everyone to plant this variety of Cauliflower. It will 

 mature into magnificent heads about one week later than Earliest 

 Snowball, and experience has proved that it is one of the surest- 

 heading sorts in the entire list. It is similar in most respects to 

 Earliest Snowball, being of dwarf growth, and the short outside 

 leaves forming a pure white head when protected. Pkt. IS Cts., 

 oz. $4, V4lb. $12.50, lb. $40. 



172 Earliest Snowball 



A Quick-Maturing Sort 



Unquestionably the earliest strain of Cauliflower under culti- 

 vation. This variety is well adapted for home-gardens or com- 

 mercial use. The seed of Snowball which is offered is grown 

 by a man in whom we have every confidence. The results 



so far attained from this Cauliflower have been most excellent. 

 The plants of this variety are very compact, with few short, 

 outside leaves, thus allowing more plants to the acre than 

 some varieties. The heads when blanched are pure white and 

 are of the very best market size, being solid in their makeup. 

 Snowball is altogether one of the most attractive Cauliflowers 

 that we know of. It is by all means the earliest-heading variety 

 under cultivation and can be grown commercially or privately 

 with equal advantage. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. $2, V^lb. $7.50, lb. $30. 



174 Danish Dry Weather (Giant) 



To all who are not situated in cool, moist climates we would 

 advise Danish Dry Weather. It has proved the most adaptable 

 strain for growing under hot and dry conditions. Very often suc- 

 cess has been attained with this variety where others proved a 

 total failure. This Cauliflower will mature about one week later 

 than Earliest Snowball. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. $4, Vilh. $12.50, lb. $40.
