A & M Cauliflower 
Culture Cauliflower will grow on most of the California soils but prefers a rich loam even to heavy adobe. It does best in 
V/Uliure a climate adjacent to the sea or where the temperature does not rise too high and where the latter part of the 
growing season is cool and the air is moist. Yield and quality is increased by the judicious use of fertilizers, fishmeal being the 
most preferable. 
Early varieties should be sown in the seed bed from April 1 to July 15; late varieties from June 1 to September 1. Plants 
should be ready to transplant from 6 to 8 weeks after the seed is sown. Every possible attention should be given the seed bed as 
extra care given here will have a marked effect on the final production of heads. The bed should be kept well irrigated, culti¬ 
vated and, if necessary, fertilized with fishmeal. 
Failure to set the plants in the field until too late may retard growth and cause the production of immature heads. Check¬ 
ing of the growth at any period is apt to cause the plants to go to seed. Plant one row to a ridge and set the plants at the 
side of the ridge; rows 3 feet apart and about 2 feet apart in the row. Do not attempt to grow Cauliflower or Cabbage unless 
you have water in abundance. Four ounces of seed will produce plants for an acre. 
A & M Pearl 
A & M PEARL 
This Cauliflower was introduced by us several years ago and 
has become the most popular strain for the later plantings. It 
is the variety that made California Cauliflower famous through¬ 
out the United States and is shipped to the Eastern markets 
during the months of January, February and March. It grows 
to a height of 3-4 feet and the flower is completely enveloped 
by spiral, curled leaves which protect the heads from injuries 
both in growing and shipping. The heads are of large size, very 
compact and of excellent flavor. 
We have two stocks, A & M Late Pearl and A & M Medium 
Pearl as listed below.

Snowball Snowball is in a class by itself for earli¬ 
ness and the time for maturity may be 
governed somewhat by the time of planting. April sowings will 
come to maturity in October provided the summer months are 
not too hot. To groSv this variety in the summer an abundance 
of water is necessary, judicious cultivations, and liberal use of 
fishmeal, thereby keeping the plants growing at all times with¬ 
out check. The plants produce a medium sized head, 8-10 inches 
in diameter, pure white and of firm texture. (Pkt. 15c) CA oz-
