DRY WEATHER CAULIFLOWER. 



165 



Dry Weather Cauliflower 



ISgpeclally Adapted to Resist Drought 

 Reaches Perfection When Ordinary Sorts Fall. 



This new strain originated In Denmark, but has been fully tested in 

 America with the most liappy results. I olfered it In 1901 for the 

 first time, and am well satisfied with Its behavior. It produces a 

 large, solid, pure white head, maturing a little later than Maule'a 

 Prize Earliest. It is in all respects a first-class cauliflower, but is 

 especially and peculiarly adapted to dry situations and to resisting the 

 effects of droughts. It will not thrive in poor soil or under bad treat- 

 ment, as like all other cauliflowers It requires manure and culture; but 

 it will succeed with less rainfall than any other variety within my 

 knowledge. It will also do well In moist or wet seasons, making heads 

 equal to the best; but it is in dry seasons that Its merits appear to best 

 advantage, and I am conttdent that it will extend the culture of this 

 delicious vegetable into locations in which it is practically unknown. 

 Pkt., 30 cts.; li ox., 85 cts.; oz., $3.00; % lb., $8.00; lb., $30.00. 



N. B. — I have harvested the largest crop of cauliflower in years (308 lbs.) 

 hence can make my prices this year more reasonable than ever before. 



MAULE'S ALWAYS HEADS CAULIFLOWER. 



166 Maule's Always Heads Cauliflower 



The name well Illustrates the strongest characteristic of this cauli- 

 flower, that in season and out of season It can always be depended upon 

 to make a head. I secured it from one of the most expert cauliflower 

 growers in Denmark, who for many years has considered "Always 

 Heads" absolutely head and shoulders above every other cauliflower, 

 as he has raised 99 heads 8 to 10 inches across from every 100 plants 

 year after year. He resides in a district where hundreds of acres of 

 Snowball and Earliest Dwarf Erfurt are annually grown, and has alwavs 

 been able to secure top market prices for his' entire product, besides 

 being equally as early in the market. I am not prepared to say it Is 

 better than Maule's Prize Earliest, but consider it nearlv as good! 

 Pkt., 20 cts.; 14 oz., 8.5 cts.; oz., $3.00; 14: lb., $8.00; lb., $30.00.
