The Cauliflower is but little grown except by professional gardeners. It is certain that anyone following the directions given below may be reason- 
ably certain of sucrcess in the culture of this delunous vegetable. 
CULTURE— For sprine and summer sow in lateFebruary, Marcher early April, in hotbeds, transplanting to cold frames when of a sufBcient size, 
then to the op<Mi ground when frost is over, though a light frost will not hurt them. The soil should l)e richer than for Cabbage. Persian insect pow- 
dCT -will keep free from worms. Sow and treat as for Cabbage. By giving a liberal .supply of water and planting to mature in early summer or late 
fall, the heads will t>e mucli improved. It is also well to cover the heads with the leaves to insure their whitenes,s. Cut while the curd is hard, to keep 
from being bittor. The seeds can be sown in September the same as cabbage and wint«re<l over in the same manner. 
Flftra Farlv Ditni^h (See cut.) The Earnest sure Heading CauUflower ever offered. A variety no gardener can afford to be with- 
■.Adu L/ciiiioii. We offer this year the finest strain of a Sure Heading Early Cauliflower that has ever been introduced to the garden- 
era of America and we cliallenge anyone to produce a variety that will surpass it in habit or growth, carliness or certainty of heading. It may truly 
be called the 'Surehead Cauliflower** as we learn it heads up under the most adverse circumstances when other varieties fail entirely. 
As may Ixi seen by the name it is a European variety and we have procured our seed direct from one of the largest and most reliable growers in that 
part of tlie world where Cauliflower reaches the highest state of perfection. It is of dwarf, compact habit and valuable for either forcing or open 
gronnd, the heads are of good size and a beautiful snowy white. We have paid a high price for our seed and believe It is worth all wo ask for
