THE ASSOCIATION SEED SERVICE 133 



Mr. Warford (Orange County) : I considered it the best 

 cauliflower I ever grew, and the best seed I had had. One 

 thing I liked about it was that it practically bleached itself 

 without any drawing up of the leaves. 



Mr. Coleman (Albany County) : Is that the kind sent 

 me? 



Mr. Work: Yes. 



Mr. Coleman: It turned out finely. 



Mr. Work: Mr. Reeves is from the Island. How is it 

 considered there? 



Mr. Reeves. (Suffolk County) : The majority use that 

 seed. 



Question: How does it compare with Snowball? 



Mr. Work: It is more vigorous in its growth than Snow- 

 ball. Snowball does not close over so much. 



Mr. Reeves: Snowball comes more in a heap. 



Mr. Sirrine (Suffolk County) : I should say the Erfurt 

 would be better for this section on account of the heavy 

 growth of leaf protecting the head in cold weather. 



Mr. Work: The price of that seed is one dollar an ounce. 



Mr. Clum (Cayuga County) : Quotations are all the way 

 from a dollar to four dollars. 



Mr. Work: That is one of our most confident offerings. 

 Do some of you care to give orders now? 

 (Thirteen ounces were ordered). 



Question: Have you had experience with cauliflower on 

 muck? 



Mr. Jagger (Tompkins County) : The crop I saw was not 

 very successful, due to dry weather and so forth. 



Mr. Work : There is a man at Waterloo that grows cauli- 

 flower on muck, but I have never been able to follow it up 

 and find out more about it. 



Question: How much will an ounce plant? 



Mr. Sirrine : About three ounces to the acre, 7000 plants.
