We Are the Largest Dealers in Cauliflower Seed 
in the West. 
Culture: For early crops with altitudes about the same 
as Denver, sow seed in hotbeds during February. F'or higher 
altitudes, later planting is best. Plants should be gradually 
hardened off before setting out in the field, which should 
be done about the first of April. For midseason crops, 
plant seed in cold frames. For late crops plant in open 
ground and after plants are 4 to 6 inches high, transplant 
to field about June 15th. Grown much in the same manner 
as cabbage. To make the best, largest and whitest heads 
the plants need cool, moist weather, well enriched soil and 
thorough cultivation. After the heads begin to form, the 
leaves should be drawn up around them and tied, thus 
helping to bleach the cauliflower a snowy wdiite. Cauli¬ 
flower is very sensitive and extreme care is necessary in 
growing the plants. Be careful that the hotbeds are not 
kept too warm and plants grow too tall and spindling, 
nor must the roots at any time be allowed to become 
dry either in the plant bed or in the field. 
(Cauliflower worms can be controlled by the use of 
CUBOR without danger of poisoning. See page 70. 
Mount Blanc or White Mountain 
Extra Early Mountain Snowball. A cauliflower of excep¬ 
tional merit and quality. We find this variety best 
suited for first early crop because it withstands the 
adverse spring and early summer weather better than 
any other variety and for early crop in the mountain 
districts, it is the only variety we can recommend. It 
is a fast grower and very fast maturing. Be prepared 
to tie the leaves just as soon as the small heads begin to 
show and you can expect the entire crop to mature at 
practically the same time. It is a very vigorous grower 
and produces a strong plant with good sized, pure white 
heads, covered with plenty of dark green foliage. Pkt., 
25c; i/ 2 oz., $1.50; oz., $2.50; % lb., $8.00; lb., $30.00,

Mountain Snowball. A medium early variety that produces 
a heavy yield of fine quality heads which are pure white, 
compact, deep and heavy. Foliage is heavy and dark 
green with good rib. Many growers are partial to this 
variety for main crop. Does not head all at one time.

Early Copenhagen Snowball. (Selected.) (Sold under 
various names.) While this variety is an early variety, 
yet it is mostly for midseason and late crops. Just a 
matter of sowing the seed and planting later. This 
variety is well adapted for planting in the mountains 
of Colorado and, under favorable conditions, produces 
crops of good, firm, white heads. Pkt., 25c; % oz., 65c; 
V 2 oz., $1.10; oz., $1.85; y 4 lb., $6.50; lb., $22.00. postpaid. 
Maxine Snowball or Self Protecting Snowball. It is second 
early and a heavy yielder of even-sized and very firm 
heads. The foliage is very dense and overlaps the tender 
flower, thus protecting it from the hot sun and making 
it an almost sure crop. This strain we highly recom¬ 
mend to growers of cauliflower. Pkt., 25c; y 4 oz., 65c; 
Yt oz., $1-10; oz., $1.85; y 4 lb., $6.50; lb., $22.00, postpaid. 
Mount Blanc (White Mountain). (New.) After thorough 
trials, we have found this to be a wonderful variety 
for the following reasons: 
1. Heads unusually high crowned, solid, heavy and 
snow white. 
2. Under proper growing conditions will yield a larger 
number of Grade No. 1 heads than any other va¬ 
riety. In 1936, on our farm, we made practically a 
100% cut of perfect heads. In six (6) acres, not 
more than 50 plants were left in the field. 
3. It is a two purpose or dual season variety: 
“A” To plant for second early crop as it is about 
8 to 10 days later than our Extra Early 
Mountain Snowball. 
“B” If seed is started late, will produce a late 
crop to come on in October. 
4. A field of this flower heads simultaneously, all at 
about one time. 
5. It is a short-stem variety, leaves set very closely 
together. 
6. Also especially adapted for mountain growing.

HARTNER'S SPECIAL EARLY 
HARTNER'S SPECIAL LATE 
A very beautiful main crop cauliflower.

regular. Heavy, dark green foliage. 
Early. Comes 10 to 14 days earlier than the 
Late. Suitable for heavy, cool ground. 
Late. Same characteristics as Early. Best 
suited to warm, light soils. 
Either. Pkt., 25o; % oz., 75c; y 2 oz., $1-25; 
oz., $2.35; y 4 lb., $7.50; lb., $26.00, postpaid.
