CAULIFLOWER 
FR. CHOU-FLEUR. 
CULTURE — Cauliflower demands a rich loamy soil and an abundance of water. Sow seed 
for an early summer crop in February or March, in a hotbed, and when plants are three or four 
inches high transplant four inches apart in boxes or frames. In the middle of spring, or as soon as 
the gardener deems it prudent, the plants can be removed to the open ground, ^t plants from 
two to two and a half feet apart each way. For late Cauliflower sow seed in a cool moist place 
early in May. If properly hardened off, Cauhflower are seldom injured by being planted out 
too early. When heading, tie the outside leaves loosely over the head to protect it from the sun 
One ounce will produce about 2,000 plants. 
EWING'S SELECTED 
DWARF EARLY 
SNOWBALL 
Very early, pure white, large flower. Forces 
well and is also the favorite for outdoor culture. 
This strain is grown especially for us by the 
most reliable grower in Northern Europe, 
where the finest Cauliflower is produced; and 
we believe there is nothing finer offered. This 
strain is short-stemmed, small-leaved, with 
large, finely grained heads, and with reasonable 
care every plant should produce a fine head.
