“BEST POSSIBLE” SEEDS.

CAULIFLOWER 
CHOU FLEUR CAVOLO FLORE 
Sow seed in open ground or cold frame about 
the middle of May or the first of June on good soil. 
Transplant to rich moist soil. Cauliflower will not 
head in hot, dry weather and sowings must be 
timed to bring the heads to maturity before the 
hot summer weather. Water frequently and after 
the head begins to form draw the leaves together 
and tie to protect them from the sun. Cut the heads 
while the “curd” is compact and firm as after they 
separate the head is not much good. 
One ounce will produce 2,000 plants 
Danish Giant or Dry Weather—Recommended 
for localities subject to long dry seasons as it will 
produce heads of fine quality where all else fails. 
Super Snowball — Extremely heavy and large 
and is characterized by the fact that the entire 
crop matures at very nearly the same time. 
(See page 5). 
Earliest Snowball (Extra Early Strain) —An 
extra early, good-sized and delicately textured 
strain of Cauliflower. Erect, sturdy, compact 
plants permitting close planting and intensive 
cultivation and sure heading, minimizing the 
gamble of setting out Cauliflower. We believe 
that this strain will give satisfaction to the most 
exacting grower. 
Dwarf Erfurt — An extra early, dwarf, compact, 
short-stemmed strain with snow-white heads 
which is extensively used for home and market 
gardens.

Culture—Sow the seed in the open ground as 
early as the ground can be worked. The seed is slow 
to germinate and should be firmed into the soil 
rather than covered, and the soil where it is planted 
should be kept moist. When transplanting, clip off 
the tops and the ends of the roots to make the plants 
stocky. Rows should be four or five feet apart, and 
plants five or six inches apart in the row. After 
planting is completed cultivate frequently. About 
the middle of August begin to draw the earth up to 
the plants to blanch or whiten them. Continue 
hilling or banking them at intervals until cold 
weather, when they should be taken up and put 
in a pit or cellar for winter use. To get very early 
plants, seed should be started in boxes or hotbeds, 
and if grown too large before time to set them out in 
the open, clip off the tops to make them grow stocky. 
An ounce of seed will produce 3,000 plants 
Golden Self Blanching—Plants compact and 
stocky, white yellowish-green foliage. Stalks 
perfectly solid, of a fine nut-like flavor, good-sized 
and when blanched are a handsome golden-yellow. 
White Plume—Handsome, early sort. Much in 
demand for market on account of its appearance, 
but it lacks the flavor, solidity and keeping 
qualities of the Golden Self Blanching. Inner 
stems and leaves turn white when earthed up 
for a short time. 
Easy Blanching — Resembles Golden Self Blanch¬ 
ing but the leaves are green and the stalks blanch 
white instead of yellow. More hardy and less 
liable to blight. About two weeks later. One of 
the easiest to blanch and of the best quality. 
Wonderful or Golden Plume Celery 
Emperor — A dwarf and stocky plant with a large 
full, light yellow heart and thick, crisp stalk, 
which are very tender and brittle. We consider 
this a most desirable Celery for fall and winter use. 
Giant Pascal — Green leaved, blanching to a 
beautiful light green. Very solid and crisp. 
Large growing sort for fall and winter use. 
Our Super Snowball is a Super Strain.
