 One ounce of seed will grow 1,000 plants. 



My Cauliflower Seed will produce fine heads. Any soil that will grow cabbage 

 will grow Cauliflower, though the richer the soil the better. An extra 

 manuring and preparation of the soil will be well repaid. Sow seed in hot-bed 

 In February or March, transplanting the plants two or three inches apart in boxes, as soon as large enough, or in the soil of another 

 hot bed until sujh time as it is safe to plant in the open ground which in this latitude is from the last of March to the middle of 

 April, further south earlier, further north later. If properly hardened off they are seldom injured by planting out too early. For sec- 

 ond early and late crop sow at the same time given in the directions for cabbage crop. 



Do not toe misled by ordering cheap, inferior seed, which . some seedsmen are offering and which as a gift 

 is too expensive. My seed is carefully teste* 1 , perfectly reliable and will 'please you in every way.
