World's Greatest Cauliflower Seed 



Mark Twain om.- >t.it.>d that Cauiitlow.r was the aristocrat 

 of the C-abbage family, and those who are acijuainted with the 

 delicate riavor of the fresh heads will agree with him. 



It should not be dithcult for the average gardener to have 

 Cauliflower in his garden at least some time during the year. 



Cnltare. S«-w th? seed in a hotbed in January or February, and when 

 the plants are large enough transplant three inches apart in boxes or 

 in other hotbeds until time to plant i.ut. If hardened off they are 

 seldom injuted by planting out as early as the ground can be properly 

 prepared. 2V: feet apart each way. Keep them well hoed and bring the 

 earth gradually up to their stems, watering freely in dry weather, and 

 especially when they begin to head. The cauliflower succeeds best 

 when planted in frames at the close of winter and brought to maturity 

 before the summer heat tets in. The late varieties mature in the 

 autumn and are sown and managed similar to winter cabbage.

The Twentietli Century. Where other Cauliflower 

 fails, gardeners should try this strain. The. heads 

 are all large, and every plant will make a head when 

 the conditions are right. In Long Island, N. Y.. this 

 strain has given the best satisfaction. The heads 

 are large, compact and white, weighing more than 

 any other sort. The outside leaves are smaller than 

 any other variety; for this reason it can be planted 

 closer, thereby getting a greater number of heads 

 to the acre. It is the earliest and makes big nnd 

 i|uick money for the grower. The cost to produce 

 this see«l i-.- much greater than any other variety.
