St. Louis Seed Co.’s Selected Cauliflower 
One ounce of seed will produce from 3000 to 4000 plants. 
Culture: For spring and early summer crop, sow in February or early in March in hotbed. If soil 
is not too wet, seed should be thoroughly pressed into the ground after sowing. This insures quick ger¬ 
mination. Cover seed with one-half inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. Transplant to cold frame 
when sufficiently large to handle. As soon as danger of hard freezing is over set in the open ground 
in rows 2^ to 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart in row. The plants will endure a slight frost. The soil 
for Cauliflower should be like that for cabbage, but it is better if made richer than is ordinarily used 
for that crop. 
St. Louis Seed Co.’s Super Snowball Cauliflower. 
St. L. S. Co.’s Super Snowball. 6 5 days. This 
Snowball is healthier and more vigorous than 
any of the old stocks. The head is perfectly pro¬ 
tected by leaves until it reaches a size of five 
inches in diameter, when only it needs to be tied 
up; and then, if growing conditions be favor¬ 
able, the head will attain marketable size in a 
few days’ time. Pkt., 10c; J4 oz., 65c; oz., $2.00; 
4 ozs., $7.00.

ing. 54 days. Heads of medium size, compact, 
and very white. Has few short, upright leaves.

lect. It is of dwarf habit with short outside 
leaves and is similar in most respects to Early 
Snowball and nearly as early. The curd is white, 
exceptionally deep and of finest quality. Pkt., 
10c; 14 oz., 50c; oz., $1.50; >4 lb., $5.00. 
Early Snowball. 54 days. It is admirably adapted 
for forcing or wintering over for early crop and 
is the most popular sort for these purposes, also 
one of the best sorts for late summer and fall 
crop. The plants are compact, with few short, 
outside leaves and are well suited for close 
planting. The heads are of medium to large size, 
solid, compact, round, very white. Pkt., 10c; 
14 oz., 50c; oz., $1.50; J4 lb., $5.00. 
Cardoon 
Culture: This is related to the Globe Artichoke, 
but it is grown for the leaf stems. When served like 
asparagus these make a very palatable dish. The 
stalks require blanching, and the plant is raised 
much like celery. The rows should be about 4 feet 
apart and the plants 2 feet apart in the rows. A rich 
soil is necessary for the production of a good crop. 
The vegetable is ready for use in late fall or 
winter. 
Large Smooth. A tender and richly flavored va¬ 
riety which blanches easily and makes an at¬ 
tractive appearance. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb.,
