Extra Early Mountain Snowball. 
Cauliflower 
We are the Largest Dealers in Cauliflower Seed 
in the West. 
Culture: For early crops, sow seed in hotbeds during Feb¬ 
ruary. They should be gradually hardened off before setting 
out in the field, which should be done about the first of April. 
For midseason crops, plant seed in cold frames. For late crops 
plant in open ground and after plants are 4 to 6 inches high, 
transplant to field about June 15th. Grown much in the same 
manner as cabbage. To make the best, largest and whitest 
heads the plants need cool moist weather, well enriched soil 
and thorough cultivation. After the heads begin to form, the 
leaves should be drawn up around them and tied, thus helping 
to bleach the cauliflower a snowy white. Cauliflower is very 
sensitive and extreme care is necessary in growing the plants. 
Be careful that the hotbeds are not kept too warm and plants 
grow too tall and spindling, nor must the roots at any time 
be allowed to become dry either in the plant bed or in the 
field. 
Cauliflower Plants 
While we grow cauliflower plants to sell, yet, we advise any¬ 
one who anticipates growing cauliflower extensively to raise 
their own plants.

Extra Early Mountain Snowball. A Cauliflower of Exceptional 
Merit and Quality. After numerous trials we find this variety best 
suited for Early Crop because it withstands the adverse spring and 
early summer weather better than any other variety and for early crop 
in the mountain districts, it is the only variety we can recommend. It 
is a fast grower and very fast maturing. Be prepared to tie the leaves 
just as soon as the small heads begin to show and you can expect the 
entire crop to mature at practically the same time. It is a very vigorous 
grower and produces a strong plant with good sized, pure white heads, 
covered with plenty of dark green foliage. This variety is for early 
market and early maturing only. Pkt., 25c; oz., $1.50; oz., $2.50; 
M lb., $8.00; lb., $30.00, postpaid. 
Early Mountain Snowball. After 8 years of satisfaction, we 
fully decided that this is the variety best suited for main crop in the 
mountains. During this time not one complaint have we received. 
Not only does it produce the finest quality but it is a very heavy 
yielder. The heads are pure white, compact, thick and heavy; foliage 
is dark green, heavily ribbed. A most desirable sort for shipping as a 
field of this is very uniform in size and the flower is slow to rice.

Maxine Snowball or Self Protecting Snowball. It is second 
early and a heavy yielder of even-sized and very firm heads. The foli¬ 
age is very dense and overlaps the tender flower, thus protecting it

highly recommend to growers of cauliflower. Pkt., 25c; l A oz., 75c;
