The World^s Best Cauliflower Seed 



Colture of Caaliflowrr. Sow the seeu in a hotbed in January or Februan-, and when the plants are large enough transplant three inches apart 

 vn boxes or in other hoibeds until time to plant out. If hardened off they are seldom injured by planting out as early as the ground can be properly 

 prepared. 2^ 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 bejrn to head. Pse cauUSower succeeds best when planted in frames at the close of winter and brought to maturity before the summer 

 beat sets m. The late varieties mature in the autumn and are sown and managed similar to winter cabbage. 



The Twentieth Century Cauliflower. 



Where ether Cauliflower fails, gardeners 



should tr>- this strain. The heads are all 



large, and ever>- plan: 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 s.Dr:. The outside leaves are 



smaller than any other variety; for this 



reason can be planted clost>r, 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 de- 

 manded that everj- head must be per- 

 fect, or it must not be saved for seed. 



Price: Packets, 10c., 25c. and .SOc.: li 



ounce. $2.00: I ounce, $4.00; Ji lb., $15.00. 

 Early Snowball Cauliflower 



(Blumen-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 fields this season, 



and he reports that of all crops in Europe, 



this crop was the most carefully and in- 

 telligently grown of all crops that he saw. It grows dwarf, with large, white heads and very early. Our sales have 



increased each year in the sale of Cauliflower, and we have spared no expense in perfecting this fine strain. We feel 



sure that if you once tr\- this seed you will have no other, because it is the best. -As a profitable crop there are 



few that equaj it, and any one who gets our seed should make a success and money. Good Cauliflowers always sell, and 



sell readily. Packets, 10c., 25c. and 50c.; 14 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 

 :5 that one. We feel that in the introduction of this Cauliflower we have given our 

 •rade success in growing Cauliflower. Price: Pickets, 10c. , 25c. and 50c.; ounce, 

 SI. 50; pound, $20.00. 



Two of the Officials of the Department of .Apriculture told us that our 

 Twentieth Century Cauliflower gave finer heads and produced more perfect 

 heads than anv they hpve tried. We consider this the best recommendation 

 possible for any one to have. Testimony that is unbia.sed by likes and 

 dislikes. Why not get the best?
