255 Burpee’s Ideal Snowball 0 
(E) We claim this new Cauliflower is well named, as it 
is Ideal in every way. Perhaps its outstanding merit is 
the large leaves which completely enfold the head and 
keep it pure white at all times. About S days later than 
Early Snowball. Plants dwarf and compact, and the 
heads are large, solid and snow white. 
Pkt. 200; Vi oz. 70 (!; V 2 oz. $1.20; oz. $2.10; 
4 ozs. $6.95; V 2 lb. $12.60; lb. $25.00. 
245 Burpee’s Dry Weather© 
(E) Though Cauliflower does best in a cool and moist 
season, in “Dry Weather” we have a variety which is 
actually drought-resistant and will produce heads when 
all other varieties are a complete failure due to lack of 
moisture. In addition to this most valuable feature, it 
is a Cauliflower of the highest quality, producing large, 
pure white heads only a week later than Burpee’s Best 
Early. The heads are considerably larger than those of that 
famous variety, and are surrounded by more foliage. Indi¬ 
vidual heads weigh 2 lbs. each. 
Pkt. 150; Vi oz. 550; Vi oz * $1-00; oz. $1.65; 
4 ozs. $5.55; Vi lb. $10.30; lb. $20.00.

Burpeeana 
253 Burpeeana 0 
(E) This is Super Snowball as offered by Burpee. It stands 
out as the most valuable Cauliflower. In tests of the 
Pennsylvania State College it appeared as the best of all 
strains, maturing not quite so early as Burpee’s Fordhook. 
It is early, with the heads forming all at one time, showing 
a uniformity of size, shape, and type that is truly astonish¬ 
ing. Beautiful, round, pure white heads with smooth curds. 
Pkt. 25 0; Vi ° z - 80 0; 1/2 oz. $1.35; oz. $2.35; 4 ozs. $7.80; 
1/2 lb. $14.50; lb. $28.00. 
244 Burpee’s Best Early 
(E) A splendid extra-early Cauliflower, unexcelled for 
certainty of heading. Always can be depended upon to give 
a heavy crop. Of strong growth, with erect, pointed, dark 
green leaves growing closely about the heads. Grown in 
good soil, the snow-white heads measure 8 to 10 in. across. 
It is an excellent market and home garden variety and 
should be sown so that the heads will mature during either 
early summer or late fall. Of extra-fine quality. 
Pkt. 150; Vi oz. 650; V 2 oz - $1.15; oz. $2.00; 
4 ozs. $6.65; 1/2 lb. $12.35; lb. $24.00. 
258 Veitch’s Autumn Giant 
(L) We consider this the finest of the late Cauliflowers, pro¬ 
ducing compact white heads surrounded by a mass of large 
spreading leaves. Like all late varieties, it is not nearly so 
reliable in heading as the earlier types. Pkt. 100; Vi oz - 150; 
V 2 oz- 250; oz. 450; 4 ozs. $1.35; Vi lb. $2.45; lb. $4.50. 
CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is one of our choicest vegetables. For an early 
crop, start the seed indoors during March and set into the 
open by the end of April. For a main or fall crop, sow the 
seed during June and plant out the latter part of 
July. It takes about 30 to 40 days for the plants to 
grow large enough for setting into the field. One 
oz. will give 1000 to 1500 strong plants; X lb- is 
required for one acre, placing the rows 3 ft. apart 
and the plants 2 ft. apart in the rows. Early (E) 
varieties require from 90 to 100 days to mature; 
late (L) varieties require over 130 days. 
246 Burpee’s Fordhook 0 
(E) The earliest of all varieties we have ever 
grown. The fact that we named this Fordhook 
is ample proof of our high esteem for this variety. 
It will head up well even under unfavorable 
conditions when most other varieties fail to give 
a satisfactory crop of good-sized, marketable 
heads. The plants are dwarf and compact, yet 
the heads measure fully 6 in. in diameter. They 
are well-rounded and have a fine, closely formed 
curd of a pure white color. 
Pkt. 150; Vi oz. 650; Vi oz - $1-15; oz. $2.00; 
4 ozs. $6.65; 1/2 lb. $12.35; lb. $24.00. 
247 Early Snowball 
(E) Splendid for forcing in the greenhouse and frames or 
outdoor culture. Brings a good price in the early market 
and stands shipping very well. The plants are dwarf. Head 
about 6 in. in diameter and a smooth, compact curd. The 
heads weigh about 2 lbs. 
Pkt. lOp; Vi oz- 550; Vi oz - $1-00; oz. $1.65; 4 ozs. $5.55; 
1/2 lb. $10.30; lb. $20.00.
