CAULIFLOWER 
Early and late varieties require the same culture as early 
and late cabbage. As soon as heads are large enough to 
be exposed to the light, tie or bind the leaves carefully 
over the heads to keep the light away. 
PORTLAND SEED CO.’s MT. HOOD SNOWBALL. One 
of the best early varieties that we give our highest rec¬ 
ommendation for early and late planting. Its pure white, 
fine quality heads of medium uniform size are exceed¬ 
ingly tasty. Popular with home gardeners as well as 
market gardeners. Pkt. 5c; oz. $2.00; % lb. $6.00. 
DANISH GIANT. Outstanding because of its ability to 
yield heavily in dry weather. Its large, solid, white 
heads mature very early if forced indoors during early
