Cauliflower 
CULTURE—1 oz. for 3,000 plants, X A lb. per acre. 
The culture of cauliflower is similar to that of cabbage. 
For an early crop sow March 1st in hot beds. For late crops 
it can be sown in the early part of June in rows a foot apart. 
When plants are well developed they may be pulled up and 
set in rows 4 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows. If pos¬ 
sible use liquid manure and apply around the roots of the 
plants as soon as growth starts. This will make wonders. 
You hardly can give cauliflower too much fertilizer. When 
heads begin to form, gather the leaves loosely together and 
tie them at the top to prevent the sun from injuring the 
heads. 
WHICH IS THE BEST CAULIFLOWER? 
* 
The finest EARLY cauliflower is at present Early King. 
It heads up all at one time and two weeks after its first head 
is formed, the whole crop is out of the way, cut and mar¬ 
keted. If you want an early cauliflower for both early and 
later Dwarf Erfurt is the right variety. To cut early 
and then over an extended period of time Six Weeks and 
Snowball are good also. Dry Weather while not extra early 
is a fine sort that is easily raised, not near as touchy as the 
extra early sorts. For the late crop Autumn Giant is hard 
to beat. 
DRY WEATHER OR DANISH GIANT 
Reaches perfection where other sorts fail. Especially 
valuable in dry seasons and also in the South. It produces 
very large, perfectly-formed white solid heads, maturing 
about a week later than Snowball. The cauliflower will head 
when most other sorts would be a failure. Pkt. 20c; oz. 
45c; oz. $1.80; X A lb. $5.00; lb. $20.00, prepaid. 
EARLIEST DWARF ERFURT 
Popular with many gardeners. Quite similar to Snow¬ 
ball, except that it is a trifle earlier. Under good treatment 
every plant produces a fine large snow white head. Pkt. 20c; 
% oz. 40c; oz. $1.60; X A lb. $4.00; lb. $16.00, postpaid.

heads Popular on the Pacific Coast where it is known under

SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 
A very early variety that will produce perfectly well 
grown white, solid heads, 9 to 14 inches across, and deep, 
in proportion. That is our strain of Snowball. Cauliflower 
is a vegetable that has to be grown with certain care. It must 
be sown and transplanted at the right time, and planted in 
well-prepared rich soil. When this is done our seed will 
be found superior to any strain of Snowball. Pkt. 20c; ^4 oz. 
40c; oz. $1.60; *4 lb. $4.00; lb. $16.00, postpaid. 
CAULIFLOWER SIX WEEKS 
Six Weeks is a dwarf type of cauliflower, producing per¬ 
fectly white, heavy heads, six weeks after transplanting and 
although the heads are large can be set close together, about 
18 inches apart is all the room it needs. A fine variety for 
an early as well as for a fall crop. Pkt. 15c; X A oz. 40c; 
oz. $1.60; lb. $20.00. 
A vigorous variety that will stand lots of neglect and is 
certain to head. Heads well formed, very large and heavy, 
perfectly white, and handsome. Succeeds in all parts of the 
country and can be depended upon to produce fine heads of 
extraordinarily large size during fall months, in other words 
a late variety. Pkt. 10c; X A oz. 15c; oz. 60c; lb. $5.00. 
CAULIFLOWER ALL SEASONS—Treated like Late Cab¬ 
bage will make fine large heavy snow-white heads in August 
and September and can be placed in the market when there

PROFIT AND WAGES 
The word profit is used often in our descriptions. What 
is profit—wages? In a way both are the same. Profit is in 
the “may be” class, wages are sure to come. Profit is quite 
often, chasing a cloud—at times there is no profit. Before 
wages can be paid, profit must be made. Profit is less of a 
gamble when those working for someone, do work as well, 
as they would work for themselves. And they can work for 
profit instead of for wages, whenever they choose to do so. 
To make profit easier to make, we strive to supply the 
best there is in seeds. That is our duty, we are well aware 
of that fact and no amount of work will discourage us if we 
see that the result of our work will benefit our customers. 
We, like many others, do not always make a profit, when we 
do, we have earned it
