CAULIFLOWER w-w 



How to Grow Fine Cauliflower. Culture for Cauliflower and cabbage is essentially the same, but to the former extra care given in apply- 

 ing fertilizers and moisture well repays the gardener. Sow the seeds for early and late crops as directed for cabbage, but do not set the early 

 plants in the open field too soon, for if too much stunted by severe frosts, they begin to form heads before they are strong enough to de- 

 velop them well. Plants which have not headed before winter sets in may be stored in a cool cellar or coldframe, and will form heads without 

 further attention. An ounce of seed will produce about 1,500 plants. 



BECKERT'S EARLY SNOWBALL. Produces large, handsome white heads, 8 to 10 inches across; close, compact, and of the finest 

 quality; stalks short, of compact growth; equally good for a late crop; can be planted closely; extra early, a certain header. Unsurpassed by 

 any strain offered. Pkt. 25 cts., Hoz. $1.25, oz. $4. 



PERFECTION. A new and distinct variety that is as early as Snowball and produces equally perfect a head. Has long leaves that 

 grow straight up, with the inner leaves twisted and whorled, 

 which naturally protects the head from the sun to a great extent.
