IF! QWFft 7 Vie Cultivation of Cauliflower . — 
WW For the earliest Cauliflower sow 
the seed in hotbeds or greenhouse during February or March 
and transplant to flats or cold frames 2 or 3 in. apart each way. 
Set in the open ground as early in the spring as the ground can 
be properly worked. Plants should be 2\ ft. apart each way. 
The soil should be warm, very rich, and fibrous, with an abun- 
dance of humus and moisture. A copious supply of water during 
the dry spells, especially during the heading period, will help. 
For late Cauliflower start plants in the open ground and treat as 
late Cabbage. When the heads have formed they should be 
blanched by drawing the leaves together and tying. 1 oz. of 
Cauliflower seed will produce 3,000 plants. 
No. 
394 Carters Forerunner. — -The quickest Cauliflower ever grown. 
Ten days earlier than others. Large white head, solid, and good 
size. Sow in middle of February, transplant when first leaves 
drop, under glass, plant in open ground end of May, and the first 
heads will be ready by the middle of June. The leaves protect 
the head from the summer sun. Included in the First Prize and 
Champion Exhibit of Vegetables, Shrewsbury 1912, and also a 
feature of the Large Gold Medal Exhibit at the same critical 
meeting. Staged in five Gold Medal Exhibits during 1914. 
395 Carters Defiance Forcing. — This superb variety is, without 
doubt, one of the finest forcing varieties ever introduced; produces 
fine solid heads. In perfection during early summer.

399 Dry Weather ( Danish Giant ). — One of the very best varieties; 
especially adapted for growing in dry locations. 
404 Carters Extra Early Autumn Giant. — This magnificent Cauli- 
flower is more dwarf, considerably earlier, and in every respect 
better than the old Autumn Giant. It produces enormous snow- 
white heads, and is admitted to be the largest and the earliest 
of the giant forms that are of such value during September and 
October. We have records of 332 First Prizes having been won 
by customers.
