5unpp Snowball K^adspn'< ^ days. This Snowball is healthy 
ouper onoWDdll IVldasen S and vigorous. It is strongly re¬ 
sistant to adverse weather conditions as well as disease. The head 
is exceptionally high 
with curds standing 
out in high relief 
and it is sure head¬ 
ing. The foliage is 
plentiful, a typical 
dark green color and 
gives perfect protec¬ 
tion to the head 
until several inches 
in diameter. The leaf 
is large, somewhat 
crumpled and the 
blade is continuous 
reaching to the base 
of the midrib. A 
considerable portion 
of the labor usually 
expended for tying 
up heads can be 
saved by using this 
variety as the crop 
matures with such 
uniformity that fewer 
trips through the 
fields tying up and 
cutting the heads are 
necessary.

Earliest Snowball (Catskill Snowball) pLbabiy s ’the T earnest 
of all varieties of Cauliflower. It is rapidly taking the place of 
many of the late varieties on account of its fine texture, pure white 
heads and large uniform size. The stem is short and the quality 
superb. We recommend this to market growers as the best sort for 
their main planting, as it is so sure heading even under unfavorable 
conditions.

How to Grow Very few crops yield as good returns as Cauliflower 
Cauliflower when properly grown. The main requisites for suc¬ 
cess are more or less flat, very rich, medium to 
heavy soil; abundant mositure; cool weather dur¬ 
ing heading season; freedom from worms and other 
pests that eat the leaves so they cannot be tied over the curd prop¬ 
erly, protecting it from the sun; and, above all, good seed. 
Cauliflower requires more care in growing , than most crops. It 
is therefore advisable to go slow at first until experienced in grow¬ 
ing. As the heads form best in cool weather, the seed should be 
sown very early in the spring and transplanted to open ground 
when danger of hard freezing is over. Six to eight weeks from 
seed is the best age for this. Rows may be two and one-half to 
three and one-half feet apart and plants 18 inches to 3 feet in the 
row, depending on the variety. Here at Rocky Ford seed is sown 
in seed beds about April fifteenth and transplanted during June. 
This allows the heads to form during the cool fall months. Irrigate 
often and force the growth of large leaves to protect the heads 
from the sun; do not oversoak and kill the ground. Dust often and 
thoroughly. We believe this is where most growers fail. Worms and 
aphis must not be allowed to destroy the leaves and the marketing 
of filth-covered heads is unprofitable, to say the least.
