CAULIFLOWER. 
CULTURE-For early crop treat the same as for early cabbage. Care 
should he taken not to let the plants get checked in their growth as this 
will cause some heads to form prematurely. For late crop the time of 
sowing the seed depends upon the variety. The early varieties, If sown In 
May and set out July 1st, will form heads In September or first of October. 
'J he later varieties Hhotihl be sown and put out earlier. The land for 
cauliflowers should he moist and made rich with manure or fertilizer. 
THE IMPORTANT POINT There is nothing so ossontlal to success 
as yood need. The best cauliflower seed Is very expensive, hut It is worth 
to the grower ton times what cheap and carelessly-grown seed Is wort h. 
Wo got the host results from using Snowball or Erfurt Earliest Dwarf for 
main late crop, as well as for early use. These two strains of seed, as we 
have them, are grown with the greatest care, and 95 per cent, of the plants 
will produce fine, compact heads of good size. 
Mr. J. M. Long, East Winthrop, Me., says; 11 The Erfurt Earliest 
CauhfU>v:er I (jot of you was as fine ox I ever raised, and every plant headed .” 
Mrs. Chrissie Hannah says: “ Your cauliflower seed was perfectly (jrand. 
Notwithstandiny the drouyht the cauliflowers were the finest in the county .” 
ERFURT EARLIEST 
DWARF CAULIFLOWER. 
This cauliflower is sold 
under a great many different 
names, as nearly every seeds¬ 
man has a name for it with 
his own attached. But we do 
not see that the names im¬ 
prove the cauliflower. At 
any rate there is certainly 
nothing finer than the strain 
we offer. The heads are very 
compact, well covered with 
leaves, and of large size, and 
nearly every plant will form 
such a head when given good 
culture. For forcing eai ly In 
the spring it has no equal; 
and by sowing the seed at 
different times cauliflower 
can be obtained as early or 
as late as wanted. 24 lb. $11, 
oz. $3.25, 24 oz. $1.75,24 oz. SI, 
pkt. 15c., 2 pkts. 25c. 
ERFURT EARLIEST DWARF CAULIFLOWER. 
SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 
This variety Is very similar to Erfurt Earliest Dwarf, but with, perhaps, 
somewhat smaller leaves. We have the yenuine seed of the purest strain of 
this variety. Nearly every plant will form a fine, compact head. 24 lb.
