Twentieth Century Cauliflower 



The World's Best Cauliflower Seed 



CULTURE OF CAULIFLOWER. Sow the seed in .i hotbed in January or February, and wlien the plants are large enough transplant 

 three inches apart in boxes or in other hotbeds until time to plant out. If hardened otE they are seldom injured by planting out as early 

 as the "round can be property prepared, 2i/o 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 lo head. The cauliflower succeeds best when planted iji frames 

 at the close of winter and brought to maturity before the summer heat sets in. The late varieties mature in the autumn and arc sown 

 and managed similar to winter cabbage. 



THE TWENTIETH CENTURY CAULI- 

 FLOWER.— Where other Cauliflower fails, garden- 

 ers should try this strain. The heads are all large, 

 and every plant will make a head when the condi- 

 tions 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 can be planted 

 closer, thereby getting a greater number of heads 

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

 quick money for the grower. The cost to produce 

 this seed is much greater than any other variety. 

 We have demanded that every head must be per- 

 fect, or it must not be saved for seed. Price: 

 Packets, lOc, 25c. and 50c.; V^ ounce, $2.00; 1 

 ounce, $4.00; % lb., $15.00. 



EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 

 (Blumeii-Kole).— Our seed this season has been 

 more carefully selected than ever, and we go to the 

 grower knowing that we give them seed that has 

 been grown for us by the best grower in Europe. 

 We had an inspector in the fialds this season, and 

 he reports that of all crops in Europe, this crop* 

 was the most carefully and intelligently grown of< 

 all crops that he saw. It grows dwarf, with large, 

 white heads and very early. Our sales have in- 

 creased each year in the sale of Cauliflower, and 

 we have spared no expense in perfecting this fine 

 stram. We feel sure that if you once try this ..... ..... 



seed you will have no other, because it is the best. As a profitable crop there are few that equal it, and any one 

 who gets our seed should make a success and money. Good Cauliflowers always sell, and sell readily. Packets, lOc, 

 25c. and 50c.; % ounce, $1.00; ounce, $2.00. 



THE SUCCESS CAULIFLOWER.— We have found a demand for a Cauliflower that would make a head when the 

 seed was planted late after the early sorts. The Success is that one. We feel that in the introduction of this Cauli- 

 flower we have given our trade success in growing Cauliflower. Price: Packets, lOc, 25c. and 50c.; ounce, $1.50; 

 pound, $20.00. 



Two of the Officials of the Pepaitmeiit of Agriculture told us that our Twentieth Century CauMflower gave finer 

 heads and produced more perfect heads than any they have tried. We consider this the best recommendation possible 

 for any one to have. Testimony that is unbiased by likes a nd dis likes. Why not get the best?
