Cauliflower 
CULTURE—1 oz. for 3,000 plants, % lb. per acre. 
For an early crop sow March 1st in hot beds. For late 
crops sow in the early part of June in rows a foot apart. 
When plants are well developed they are set in rows 4 feet 
apart and 2 feet apart in the rows. If possible use liquid 
manure and apply around the roots of the plants as soon as 
growth starts. This will make wonders. You hardly can 
give cauliflower too much fertilizer. When heads begin to 
form, gather the leaves loosely together and tie them at the 
top to prevent the sun from injuring the heads. 
WHICH IS THE BEST CAULIFLOWER? 
The finest EARLY Cauliflower is at present Early King. 
It heads up all at one time and two weeks after its first head 
is formed, the whole crop is out of the way, cut and mar¬ 
keted. If you want an early cauliflower for both early and 
later Danamerica is extra good. 
To cut early and then over an extended period of time 
Six Weeks and Snowball are good also. Dry Weather is a 
fine sort that is easily raised. For the late crop Autumn Giant 
is hard to beat. 
SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 
Produces white, solid heads, 9 to 14 inches across, and 
deep in proportion. That is our strain of Snowball. Cauli¬ 
flower is a vegetable that has to be grown with certain care. 
It must be sown and transplanted at the right time, and 
planted in well-prepared rich soil. This done our seed will be 
found very superior. Pkt. 20c; % oz. 40c; oz. $1.60; % lb. 
$4.00; lb. $16.00, postpaid. 
EARLIEST DWARF ERFURT 
Popular with many gardeners. Quite similar to Snow¬ 
ball, except that it is a trifle earlier. Under good treatment 
every plant produces a fine large snow white head. Pkt. 20c; 
*4 oz. 40c; oz. $1.60; % lb. $4.00; lb. $16.00, postpaid. 
DRY WEATHER OR DANISH GIANT 
Reaches perfection where other sorts fail. Especially 
valuable in dry seasons and also in the South. It produces 
very large, perfectly-formed white solid heads, maturing 
about a week later than Snowball. The cauliflower will head 
when most other sorts would be a failure. Pkt. 20c; % oz.
