STUMPP & WALTER CO., NEW YORK CITY 
S. & W. Co.’s Best of All Cauliflower 
CAULIFLOWER 
One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants 
Culture. —Sow the first week in May and prick out on a rich piece of ground; 
transplant in July. For wintering under glass sow in the second and last weeks in 
September; transplant thickly into a cold pit or frame; give plenty of air in mild 
weather, and cover up well when conditions are severe. Again sow in February 
in a hotbed and transplant in April. For Cauliflower the ground should be well 
prepared by trenching, incorporating at the same time a good share of rotten 
manure. Select new, rich ground, if possible, as Cauliflower rarely succeeds on 
soil which has been cropped year after year with other kinds of vegetables. Plant 
in rows 20 inches apart and 2 feet between the rows. 
The Best Early Cauliflower, S. & W. Co/s Best of All. 
The easiest grown and surest heading Cauliflower offered today. In habit the plant 
is very dwarf, stocky, and erect. It has very few outer leaves and, as a consequence, 
the young Cauliflower plants may be planted less than 2 feet apart each way. All 
that is necessary is to select suitable soil, when every plant will form a large, solid, 
perfect head of the finest table quality and of handsome appearance. Pkt. 25 cts., 
Vsoz. 80 cts., V^oz. $1.50, V^oz. $2.50, oz. $4.50.

planting outdoors. It is, too, an excellent autumn sort. Snowball is the most 
popular Cauliflower grown in America today. Pkt. 20 cts., Vgoz. 65 cts., ViOz. $1,

plants 
Culture. —Sow the seed in a 
coldframe or dry border as early 
as the ground can be worked, in 
drills 8 to 10 inches apart, covering 
the seed J^inch deep. Transplant 
to another bed or thin out 5 to 
6 inches apart, and allow to grow 
until wanted for planting out into 
the beds or trenches. Early in 
July is the proper time to set out 
the plants, or as soon after as 
possible. Rows or double rows 
should be 3 feet apart and the 
plants set about 8 inches apart in 
the row. As the plants grow, they 
should be boarded or earthed up 
to blanch them. For keeping over 
the winter, they can be banked up 
with earth and covered with litter 
and boards.
