I nnn Icl^nrl ^7 days. It has been generally believed that the 
l_<ji ivj ibiariu best Cauliflower seed could be grown in northern 
Europe. After ten years of intensive work and considerable expense 
devoted to a single strain, one of the leading cabbage seed growers 
in the United States has recently introduced Long Island Cauli¬ 
flower. Here at Rocky Ford we find it to be well adapted to our 
climate and growing conditions. Reports from several parts of the 
country indicate that it will stand up well and make a crop under 
our American conditions better than many other sorts. The beau¬ 
tiful pure white heads are deep, well rounded and not inclined to 
rice. Surprisingly heavy for their size, which is about the same as 
a good type of Snowball. Leaves are plenty large to afford good 
protection to the head. We recommend that you try it in compari¬ 
son with the best you have ever used.

How to Grow 
Cauliflower 
(Continued from Page 14) 
We recommend Aphicide-Pyronic for destroying 
aphis and worms. This dust is manufactured es¬ 
pecially for the control of aphis and worms on 
Cauliflower, Cabbage and Broccoli. Dust thoroughly 
four or five times during the growing season. See 
Cabbage cultural instructions for control of root maggots. 
When the heads are about 2 inches across (in most cases) tie up 
the leaves, using different colored strings each day. This will aid in 
cutting. Cauliflower should be packed tightly in the crates; too loose 
packing will result in damaged heads during shipping. Crates are 
loaded upside down so that the Cauliflower will shed water from the 
melting ice, as top icing is necessary in shipping. 
As to seed! We handle nothing but the best’ obtainable. All vari¬ 
eties but Long Island are Danish grown. One pound of seed will grow 
plants for about seven acres.
