(E) This is Super Snowball as offered by Burpee. It stands 
out as the most valuable Cauliflower. In tests of the 
Pennsylvania State College it appeared as the best of all 
strains, maturing not quite so early as Burpee s Fordhook. 
It is early, with the heads forming all at one time, showing 
a uniformity of size, shape, and type that is truly astonish¬ 
ing Beautiful, round, pure white heads with smooth curds.

Dry Weather © 
(E) Though Cauliflower 
does best in a cool and 
moist season, in “Dry 
Weather” we have a variety 
which is actually drought re¬ 
sistant and will produce heads 
when all other varieties are a 
complete failure due to lack of mois¬ 
ture. In addition to this most valuable 
feature, it is a Cauliflower of the highest 
quality, producing large, pure 
white heads only a week 
later than Burpee’s Best 
Early. The heads are 
considerably larger 
than those of that 
famous variety, 
and are surrounded 
by more foliage. 
Individual heads 
weigh 2 lbs. each.

Cauliflower is one of our choicest vegetables. For an early 
crop, start the seed indoors during March and set into the 
open by the end of April. For a main or fall crop, sow the 
seed during June and plant out the latter part of 
July. It takes about 30 to 40 days for the plants to 
grow large enough for setting into the field. One 
oz. will give 1000 to 1500 strong plants; X lb. is 
required for one acre, placing the rows 3 ft. apart 
and the plants 2 ft. apart in the rows. Early (E) 
varieties require from 90 to 100 days to mature. 
Late (L) varieties require over 100 days. 
246 Burpee’s Fordhook O 
(E) The earliest of all varieties we have ever 
grown. The fact that we named this Fordhook 
is ample proof of our high esteem for this variety. 
It will head up well even under unfavorable 
conditions when most other varieties fail to give 
a satisfactory crop of good-sized, marketable 
heads. The plants are dwarf and compact, yet 
the heads measure fully 6 in. in diameter. They 
are well rounded and have a fine, closely formed 
curd of a pure white color. After another season 
of watching this variety in our trial grounds and 
comparing it with other varieties we are even more 
enthusiastic about its qualities, and we wish that 
every grower of Cauliflower could give it a trial this year. 
Pkt. 15?!; 1/4 oz. 75?f; 1/2 oz. $1.35; oz. $2.40; 4 ozs. $7.20; 
1/2 lb. $13.20; lb. $24.00.

Ideal Snowball ©

Ideal in every way. Perhaps its outstanding merit is the 
large leaves which completely enfold the head and keep it 
pure white at all times. About 5 days later than Early 
Snowball . Plants dwarf and compact, and the heads are large, 
solid and snow white. Pkt. 20 ?!; Vi oz - 85?!; V 2 oz * $1.45;
