Blumenkohl (Ger.) 
CAULIFLOWER 
Cavoloflore (It.) 
One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 plants in open ground, or about 3000 in frames; a packet will produce 150 plants. 
There is no difficulty getting fine heads of high quality when the plants 
are set out in J une or early J uly so that the heads form in September and 
October. If weather and soil conditions are normal the seed should be 
sown in open ground Ol* cold frames about the middle of May or first of 
June on good soil. When plants are large enough, transplant in rich, moist 
soil. Care must be taken that the plants do not become checked in growth, 
as that will cause them to head prematurely. 
For the small garden it is often better to buy the plants. See page 82. 
Super Snowball Cauliflower 
A larger , earlier and better Snowball Cauliflower! 
This is not only the earliest cauliflower with good firm heads but it heads earlier 
and more uniformly than any other strain of Snowball we have tried. 
The leaves are quite large and vigorous and curl over the heads so as to protect 
them from the sun and keep them white until the heads are quite large. 
On account of its earliness this new strain has been found very profdable to grow 
as early cauliflower of fine quality always commands much higher prices 
in market than the later crop. 
It heads so evenly that often the whole crop can be harvested before 
the later varieties are ready. This may be an objection for the home 
garden where cauliflower is wanted all through the season but for market 
it should certainly be used for at least part of the planting. Those who 
want the largest and finest cauliflower early in the season will find the 
Super Snowball a most satisfactory kind. It requires good land and 
favorable growing conditions for best results. On poorer soil other vari¬ 
eties sometimes do better. 
The seed we offer was grown by the originator and is the finest strain 
of this kind that can be obtained at any price.

Two New Cauliflowers Worth Trying 
NEW EARLY AMERICAN SNOWBALL 
This variety was outstanding for earliness in our trials this year, and we actually harvested a 
greater number of heads at the first cutting than we did from Super Snowball. This new variety 
produced heads of the Snowball type which are uniformly large and deep, with a somewhat rough 
but beautiful white and tight curd. The plant is rugged with an abundance of long broad leaves 
which protect the head until it is quite large. 
We offer this new cauliflower in limited quantities this year so that you may try it out under your 
own growing conditions. Pkt. 25c; Yg Oz. 75c; Ya O*- 51.35; Oz. $4.50; Ya Lb. $11.00. 
DANISH GLORY 
This new variety is a selection from late plants of Super Snowball and as such carries many of 
the good points of that variety. It has a sturdy plant with broad leaves which curl over and pro¬ 
tect the young heads. Danish Glory matures about midway between Super Snowball and Perfected 
Snowball, maturing the heads very evenly so that a large part of the crop can be cut during a short 
period of time. 
The heads are large, deeper than Super Snowball, snow white with an attractive tight curd. 
During the past two years Danish Glory has proved to be a good header under many different 
growing conditions. Pkt. 25c; Yg Oz. 75c; Ya O*- $1-35; Oz. $4.50; Ya *b. $11-00. 
ERFURT EARLY DWARF. Madsen's Stock 
No. 3. Much like Snowball, but has some¬ 
what shorter stems. It is very reliable in re¬ 
gard to heading and the heads are solid and 
compact. 
Pkt. 15c; Ya Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.90; Ya Lb. 
$6.50; Lb. $23.00. 
Danish Perfection. A strain of Snowball 
Cauliflower maturing a week or 10 days later 
than the early Snowball. The heads are very 
firm, solid and snow white. 
Pkt. 15c; Ya Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.90; Ya Lb. 
$6.50; Lb. $23.00. 
Danish Giant or “Dry Weather." This strain 
of Snowball Cauliflower is especially valuable 
for high ground, and is considered to stand dry 
weather better. The heads mature a week or 
10 days later than Snowball and have more 
leaves to protect them from the sun and frost. 
Pkt. 15c; Ya Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.90; Ya Lb. 
$6.50; Lb. $23.00. 
Italian Purple 
The Most Delicious Cauliflower 
It is of more delicate flavor than Broccoli and 
Brussels Sprouts and far superior in quality to 
any other kind of cauliflower. 
The heads are the same shape as ordinary 
cauliflower but instead of being white are deep 
purple on the top. When cooked this cauliflower 
is green like Broccoli, which it resembles in 
flavor, but is far more delicate. 
Purple Cauliflower is easy to grow as the 
plants are strong and resistant to disease. The 
heads mature late in the season and they do not 
require tying as the heads are not blanched. 
Gardeners who have been fortunate enough to 
grow this kind have been able to sell it at high 
prices. 
Some people who do not like ordinary cauli¬ 
flower think the Italian Purple delicious. Try 
some of it. We know you will like it.

SNOWBALL Perfected Strain. Theseed 
we offer is the very finest strain we know and 
no better seed can be obtained. 
Although an early variety. Snowball has 
proved to be the best for late or main crop. 
The plant is dwarf and compact and the heads 
are large, deep, solid, snow white, and with a 
tight curd that has no protruding leaves when 
grown under normal conditions.

Protect Cauliflower From CabbageWorms 
It is unnecessary for your cauliflower to be 
unsightly and often ruined by cabbage worms. 
The new Rotenone Dusts, SULROTE and 
DEROX, if used regularly will prevent damage 
from these worms. These dusts can be used 
freely even on large heads as they are non- 
poisonous. See page 86 for quantities and prices.

at $40.00 per lb.” Gordon L. Scotland, Framing¬
