One ounce of seed will produce 1500 io 2000 plants in open ground, or about 3000 in frames; a packet will produce 150 plants. 
There is no difficulty getting fine heads of high quality when the plants 
are set out in June or early July so that the heads form in September and 
October. If weather and soil conditions are normal the seed should be 
sown in open ground or cold frames about the middle of May or first of 
June on good soil. When plants are large enough, transplant in rich, moist 
soil. Care must be taken that the plants do not become checked in growth, 
as that will cause them to head prematurely.

Snowball Cauliflower. Made a profit of $83.00. Alfonse Raets, Swan Lake, N. Y.

Super Snowball Cauliflower 
A larger , earlier and better Snowball Cauliflower I 
This is not only the earliest cauliflower with good firm heads but it heads more 
uniformly than any other strain of Snowball we have tried. 
In our trials this year the entire block of Super Snowball was cut when less than 
half of the other early kinds were ready. 
The leaves are quite large and vigorous and curl over the heads so as to protect 
them from the sun and keep them white until ready to use. 
On account of its earliness this new strain has been found very profitable 
to grow as early cauliflower of fine quality always commands much higher 
prices in market than the later crop. 
It heads so evenly that the whole crop can be harvested before ordinary 
varieties are ready. This may be an objection for the home garden where 
cauliflower is wanted all through the season but for market it should cer¬ 
tainly be used for at least part of the planting. Those who want the largest 
and finest cauliflower early in the season will find the Super Snowball a 
most satisfactory kind. It requires good land and favorable growing con¬ 
ditions for best results. On poorer soil other varieties sometimes do better. 
The seed we offer was grown by the originator and is the finest strain 
of this kind that can be obtained at any price.

Super Snowball Cauliflower 
SNOWBALL Perfected Strain. The seed we offer is the very finest 
strain obtainable, 95 per cent of the plants making good heads of the 
true Snowball type. There is no use in paying more for the seed than 
we charge, as no better seed can be obtained at any price. This is the 
plain truth which anyone can prove who will take the trouble to try our 
seed side by side with seed costing much more. 
Although an early variety, the Snowball is most excellent for late or 
main crop as well as for forcing and summer use. The plant is dwarf 
and compact and the heads are large, solid, snow white, and with no 
protruding leaves when well grown under average conditions. Matures 
early but usually the best heads are obtained from plants set out rather 
late.

CATSKILL SNOWBALL. This fine strain of Snowball is grown most ex¬ 
tensively in the Catskill Mountain region and has proved the most 
satisfactory main crop variety in that region. It matures early and the 
heads are very compact and uniform. 
Pkt. 20c; V 4 Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.90; l/ 4 Lb. $6.50; Lb. $23.00. 
ERFURT EARLY DWARF. Madsen’s Stock No. 3. Much like Snow¬ 
ball, but has somewhat shorter stems and matures a little earlier. It is 
very reliable in regard to heading and the heads are solid and compact. 
This strain has proved the best of its class in several trials made in 
New York State. 
Pkt. 20c; y 4 Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.90; y 4 Lb. $6.50; Lb. $23.00. 
Danish Perfection. A grand strain of Snowball Cauliflower maturing a 
week or 10 days later than the early variety. As the plants produce 
more leaves than the common Snowball, the heads are better protected 
from sun and frost. The heads are very firm, solid and snow white and 
practically every plant will make a good head under favorable conditions. 
This strain has shown up particularly well during the past dry hot 
summer. 
Pkt. 20c; y 4 Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.90; y 4 Lb. $6.75; Lb. $24.00. 
Danish Giant or “Dry Weather.” This strain of Snowball Cauliflower 
is especially valuable for high ground, as it is more vigorous than the 
Early Snowball, and stands dry weather better. The heads are a little 
larger than Snowball and mature a week or two later and have more 
leaves to protect them from the sun and frost. 
Pkt. 20c; y 4 Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.90; y 4 Lb. $6.75; Lb. $24.00. 
Cauliflower Plants 
Italian Purple Cauliflower 
The most delicious cauliflower we have ever eaten. It is of more 
delicate flavor than Broccoli and Brussel Sprouts and far superior to 
any other kind of cauliflower. 
The heads are much like ordinary cauliflower but instead of being 
white are deep purple on the top. When cooked this cauliflower is 
green like Broccoli, which it resembles very much, but is of far more 
delicate flavor. The purple tinge disappears when the heads are 
cooked. 
Purple Cauliflower is easy to grow as the plants are strong and 
resistant to disease. They do not require tying as the heads are not 
blanched. Gardeners who have been fortunate enough to grow this 
kind have been able to sell it at high prices. 
Some people who do not like ordinary cauliflower think the Italian 
Purple delicious. Try some of it. We know you will like it.
