semi-pointed, T y 2 inches long, 2 y 2 inches thick at the crown and % inch thick 
at the bottom, just where the root begins to taper to the tip. The quality is 
fine, the color is a bright orange-scarlet and the core is rather definite. The

yield also makes Danvers suitable for a stock Carrot. Pkt, 5c; oz, 15c; 14 llt>,

Cauliflower 
(Por Cauliflower Plants, 
see page 44) 
The mountain districts of the Rocky Mountain region offer 
ideal conditions for the commercial growing of Cauliflower. 
The cool nights, rich soils, and bright sunshiny days of 
these sections are exactly the right combination for the suc¬ 
cessful culture of this fine vegetable. 
Although Cauliflower is considered a hard crop to raise in 
most sections of the country, it is not so in the Rocky 
Mountain region. Cauli¬ 
flower is not a crop that 
can be raised on a large 
scale, unless one is 
equipped with capital and 
labor to carry on large 
scale operations. But when 
one considers that the 
average return per acre in 
the mountain districts is 
over $300, you can readily 
see that a few acres will 
give very good returns. 
Culture. One ounce for 
2,000 to 3,000 plants; 8,000 
plants to the acre. 
Cauliflower Is Easy 
to Grow 
For early Cauliflower, sow indoors or in hotbeds, when 
severe weather is past, set the plants in the field 2 y 2 feet 
apart each way. For late crop start the plants in May and 
transplant to the field during July. Water freely, especially 
when heading. When the heads begin to form fold the leaves 
over the head and secure them by pinning with a wooden pin. 
422 Special Strain Danish Snowball. (110 days.) Is the re¬ 
sult of many years of careful breeding and selection. This 
seed has been grown for us under contract by one of Den¬ 
mark’s most reliable growers. It has been closely ob¬ 
served, and a careful check has been made over a period 
of years. The stock from which our seed was grown pro¬ 
duced ninety per cent or better of solid, marketable heads. 
Special Strain Danish Snowball produces heads of clear 
white color, free from blemishes and dark parts; heads 
are large and of uniform shape, very desirable for ship¬ 
ping. We are glad to recommend the Special Strain to 
large growers and shippers. This seed has always been 
sold for 25c per packet, but that is rather expensive for 
the person who only cares for a few plants, and this year 
we will pack a small packet that sells for 15c and pack 
Vic of an ounce for 25c. This will give the home gardener 
the advantage of using the Special Strain at reasonable 
cost. Pkt, 15c;'1/16 oz, 25c; V4 oz « S5c; Vz oz > $1-55; oz, 
$2.75; 14 $8.15; lb, $24.50, postpaid. 
424 Special High Altitude Danish Snowball. (100 days.) Ex¬ 
tra early, selected for the high altitude and northern 
grower. We recommend this special seed for your ship-

ping crop. This variety has all the good 
features of No. 422, matures earlier, and is 
better adapted to short-season sections.

$1.55; oz, $2.75; 14 lb, $8.15; lb, $24.50, post¬ 
paid. 
423 Early Danish Snowball. (110 days.) Not 
the prize-winning strain listed above, but 
an excellent commercial strain. Deep, solid 
heads, finely grained and pure white in 
color. The plant is compact, but not too 
short leaved. Crop matures with great 
evenness. A fine market variety. Pkt, 5c; 
1/4 oz, 65c; oz, $1.85; y* lb, $5.50; lb, $16.00, 
postpaid. 
425 Danish Dry Weather. (125 days.) A new 
strain bred to withstand more hot weather 
than the more delicate Snowball. The 
heads are larger, pure white, and having 
much more foliage, must be planted farther 
apart. Where other varieties fail to head, 
we recommend this variety. Pkt, 10c; x /\
