BRECK’S WHITE BOUQUET CAULIFLOWER 
Breck’s White Bouquet Cauliflower. For early or for main crop, those who have grown it, private and market 
gardeners alike, agree that Breck’s White Bouquet Cauliflower has no peer. It will head when other varieties fail; 
moreover it is a strain well-adapted for forcing under glass during winter and spring. The plants are compara¬ 
tively short-stemmed, have small leaves, and produce medium to large close-grained, snowy-white heads of the 
finest quality. We feel confident that no better strain has ever been developed, and that it is the earliest and moat 
reliable variety for New England. Pkt„ 25c; oz., $4.00; y A lb., $12.50.

Cauliflower is the most delicate and delicious member 
of the cabbage family. Although the ideal soils for this 
vegetable are well-drained, rich, moist, heavy loams, it 
will do well in any soil that grows good cabbage. Plants 
from seed sown in the hot-bed late in February will be 
ready for the open ground about tbe first of May. The 
seedlings should be transplanted as soon as they are

strong enough; later, when the time for setting in the 
field is approaching the plants should be gradually hard¬ 
ened by exposure. For late plants sow the seed sparingly 
in a well-prepared seed-bed in May, selecting a cool 
place; treat the seedlings as if they were Cabbage, but 
exercise greater care. In the field make the rows 30 
inches apart and set the plants 18 inches apart in the 
row. When the heads are forming tie the tops of the 
leaves together with rofTea or soft twine in order to 
shut out the sun and rain; pure white attractive heads 
can not be grown without protection.

Gentlemen : — 
The past season was a poor one from a gardening stand¬ 
point and the garden here is heavy and lies low, but your 
seeds were satisfactory despite these drawbacks. I have 
always found them reliable; the unfailing courtesy of 
your house, coupled with good goods, make it a pleasure 
to deal with “Breck’s.”
