CAULIFLOWER—EARLY SNOWBALL 
CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is grown the same as Cabbage but requires more fertile soil, and like Cabbage and 
Lettuce, is not a good summer crop in the Sacramento Valley. Sow seed in June and July in open beds 
and when sufficiently large, which is usually six to eight weeks hfter seed is sown, transplant to the 
permanent field in rows eighteen inches apart and the rows thirty inches apart. When sown in June 
and Jiuly, Cauliflower will mature in October, November and December. Always keep Cauliflower in 
a thriving condition from the time they are seedlings in the beds until they are matured, as any check 
in their growth generally shows in the ultimate crop by heading prematurely or producing poor heads. 
DANISH GIANT or DRYWEATHER—A little 
later and larger than Snowball. When these two 
varieties are sown at the same time the Danish 
Giant, is ready for the market when the Snowball 
is finished. The heads grow to a large size, very 
firm, snow-white and of fine quality. Heads are 
protected by foliage which is an advantage in keep¬ 
ing heads from being damaged by unfavorable 
weather. Pkt. 10c; 14‘oz. 50c; oz. $1.50; *4 lb. $5.00. 
EARLY SNOWBALL—The best type for earli¬ 
ness. Compact habit, uniformity of shape. Head of 
medium size, very white and solid, surrounded by 
few short, upright leaves. The seed we offer of 
this strain, as well as the Danish Giant, is grown 
for us by an European specialist and has always 
given good results. Pkt. 10c; J4 oz. 75c; oz. $2.50; 
lb. $7.50. 
VETCH’S AUTUMN GIANT—Plants are large 
and late, dark green leaves and heavy white mid¬ 
ribs. Heads large and solid, somewhat rough and 
well protected by foliage. Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c; J4 lb. 
$1.50; lb. $5.00. 
Vegetable Gardening—Why Not? 
One seldom realizes the great amount of good wholesome food that may be pro¬ 
duced from a few short rows of vegetables in the garden. In order to have them at 
their best, seeds of many vegetables should be sown at frequent intervals throughout the 
spring season. Beets, carrots, onions, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower and radishes are not 
easily affected by frost. Cucumbers, melons, and other vines are more tender and seed of 
these should be planted in warm soil. 
Prepare the soil by spading to a good depth and fertilize freely with commercial fer¬ 
tilizer such as Bearmor. Sow seed in freshly turned soil and do not sprinkle the sur¬ 
face, but rather irrigate thoroughly at frequent intervals in ditches. Allow room for 
cultivation. As the plants grow, thin them, leaving sufficient space for normal growth. 
Then as Spring and Summer come on, you will have the joy of supplying your table 
with a choice selection of the wholesome foods you particularly like.
