EARLY SNOWDRIFT CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—Cauliflower succeeds best 
when planted in hot beds during Jan¬ 
uary or February and brought to matur¬ 
ity before the summer heat sets in. If 
properly hardened off, the plants are 
seldom injured if planted outside as 
early as the ground can be worked. 
Set them out in the richest soil avail¬ 
able. They should stand two and a half 
feet, apart each way. Keep them well 
hoed and bring the ground gradually up 
to the stems, watering freely in dry 
weather and protecting them from direct 
sun heat, especially when they begin to 
head. 1 oz. for 2,500 plants. 
Early Snowdrift—A new snow¬ 
ball type which has become a 
favorite with our market garden¬ 
ers, as it is by far the outstand¬ 
ing cauliflower sold on the Padu¬ 
cah market for two years. The 
white curd is closely formed and 
with fine texture, smooth and 
solid. Proved very satisfactory 
for both early and late planting 
—also splendid for forcing in the 
greenhouse in frames. Plants 
are dwarf, heads about 6 inches 
in diameter, weighing about IV 2 
to 2 lbs. Pkt. 10c, Vi oz. 75c,

weeks. Quality equal to cauli¬ 
flower, much easier to grow and 
with its long bearing period 
makes it very desirable for home 
garden. Pkt. 10c, oz. 35c, Vi

IMPROVED MEW YORK SPINELESS 
EGG PLANT 
CULTURE—Sow in hotbed very early in the spring and 
transplant to very rich, warm ground, setting them 2 to 3 
feet apart. Hoe frequently and hill up gradually until they

strong, uniform heat, and if the plants are allowed to get the 
least chilled they seldom recover from the shock. 1 oz. pro¬ 
duces 1000 plants.
