are similar. Seed may be sown and handled in the same way as 
described in the Cabbage culture. It is best te plan your planting to 
have no Cauliflower maturing in the hot summer months, as the cool 
weather of Jate Spring and early Fall is best adapted for the growing 
of perfect heads.

measure from 12 to 14 inches in diameter. The beautiful

outweigh those of any other strain. It is the earliest of 
all Cauliflower. One-third more can be planted on the 
same space than can be done with other varieties because 
of its close growing, compact habit. It is the Most Care- 
fully Grown Cauliflower Seed in the World. —

in diameter, and are of light green color. This improved strain is an exceptionally heavy yielder. Plant grows from one and a
