CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is one of our choicest vegetables. For an early crop, start 
the seed indoors or under glass in late February and set plants into 
the garden when soil has become warm. For a main or fall crop, 
sow the seed during June and set plants out in early July. It takes 
about 30 to 40 days for the plants to grow large enough for setting 
into the field. One pkt. of seed w'ill produce about 150 plants; 
1 oz. 4000 plants; 2 ozs. for one acre. 
253 BurpeeanaO 
82 days. This is Super Snnwball as 
offered by Burpee. It stands out as 
the most valuable Cauliflower. In 
tests of the Pennsylvania State Col¬ 
lege it appeared as the best of all 
strains, maturing just as early as 
Burpee’s Fordhook. Dependable, with 
the heads forming all at one time, show¬ 
ing a uniformity of size, shape, and type 
that is truly astonishing. Beautiful, 
round, pure white heads with smooth 
curds. A prize Cauliflower for the home 
gardener as well as the market grower. 
Pkt. 25fzf; oz. 800; V 2 oz. $1.35; oz. $2.35; 
4 ozs. $7.80; V 2 $14.50; lb. $28.00. Burpeeana—the Super Snowball Cauliflower 
246 Burpee’s Fordhook 
81 days. The earliest of all Cauliflowers we have ever 
grown; Will produce good-sized heads even under unfavor¬ 
able conditions when most other varieties fail to give a 
satisfactory crop. Plants are dwarf and compact, yet the 
heads measure fully 6 in. in diameter. They are well- 
rounded and have a fine, closely formed, pure white curd. 
Pkt. 15;^; oz. 65^; Vz oz. $1.15; oz. $2.00; 4 ozs. $6.65; 
1/2 lb. $12.35; lb. $24.00. 
244 Burpee’s Best Early 
85 days. Of strong growth, with erect, pointed, dark green 
leaves growing closely about the heads. Grown in good soil, 
the snow-white heads of extra-fine quality measure 8 to 10 
in. across, and mature extra early. It is an excellent market 
and home garden variety and should be sown so that the 
heads will mature during either early summer or late fall. 
Can always be depended upon to produce a heavy crop. 
Pkt. 15^; 65^; oz. $1.15; oz. C2>00; 4 ozs. $6.65; 
1/2 lb. $12.35; lb. $24.00. 
255 Burpee’s Ideal Snowball O 
90 days. We claim this new Cauliflower is well named, as it 
is ideal in every way. Perhaps its outstanding merit is the 
large leaves which completely enfold the head and keep it 
pure white at all times. About 5 days later than Early 
Snowball. Plants are dwarf and compact; heads large, solid 
and snow white. Grown everywhere. 
Pkt. 20^; oz. 75^; V 2 oz. $1.30; oz. $2.25; 4 ozs. $7.50; 
1/2 lb. $13.95; lb. $27.00. 
247 Early Snowball 
85 days. Splendid for forcing in the greenhouse and frames 
or outdoor culture. Brings a good price in the early market 
and stands shipping very well. Plants are dwarf; heads grow 
6 in. and more in diameter and have a smooth, compact 
curd. They weigh about 2 lbs. each and often more if grown 
under favorable conditions. One of the best known. 
Pkt. Vi oz. 55|zf; Vi oz. $1.00; oz. $1.65; 4 ozs. $5.55; 
1/2 lb. $10.30; lb. $20.00. 
245 Burpee’s Dry Weather Q 
95 days. Though Cauliflower does best in a cool and moist 
season, in “Dry Weather" we have a variety which is 
actually drought-resistant and will produce heads when 
other varieties are a complete failure due to lack of moisture. 
In addition to this most valuable feature, it is a Cauliflower 
of the highest quality, producing large, pure white heads 
ten days later than Burpee’s Best Early. The heads are 
considerably larger than those of that famous variety, and 
are surrounded by more foliage. Individual heads weigh 
2 lbs. each. Pkt. 15^; Vi oz. 60^f; oz. $1.10; oz. $1.75; 
4 ozs. $5.85; V 2 lb. $10.90; lb. $21.00.' 
258 Veitch’s 
Autumn Giant 
130 days. The finest of the late 
Cauliflowers; it produces im¬ 
mense compact white heads sur¬ 
rounded by a mass of large 
spreading leaves. Like all late 
varieties, it is not nearly so re¬ 
liable in heading as the earlier 
types. Pkt. lOjzf; V4 oz. 20f‘i 
V^ oz. 30fzf; oz. 50)^; 4 ozs. $1.50; 
1/2 lb. $2.75; lb. $5.00. 
CHINESE OR CELERY CABBAGE 
Not a true Cabbage; resembles Cos Lettuce somewhat. May be served like lettuce, or, when 
shredded, makes a delicious cole slaw. Boiled, it is far more palatable than ordinary Cabbage. 
VVhere summers are cool, seed may be sown in spring, but in the vicinity of Philadelphia, seeds 
sown early in August have proved to give the best results. Makes full-size heads in 70 to 80 days 
after sowing. 
212 Pe-Tsai 
75 days. Large, light green outer leaves. The 
thick, pure white heart is tender, juicy, and 
has an agreeably pungent flavor. Heads grow 
10 to 12 in. tall. Pkt. 10^; oz. 20 ^; 
4 ozs. 65^; V 2 lb. $1.00; lb. $1.75; 2 lbs. $3.20. 
211 Wong Bok 
80 days. Short, broad, tightly folded, well- 
blanched heads 8 to 10 in. high. Excellent 
quality, crisp and delicious. 
Pkt. 10;^; oz. 25^; 4 ozs. 75^; lb. $1.15; 
lb. $2.00; 2 lbs. $3.70. 
214 Chihli o 
70 days. Deserves to be largely planted, as it 
is an early and sure-heading Chinese Cabbage, 
growing 18 to 20 in. tall and about 3^ to 4 in. 
thick. The firm, well-blanched, white heads 
taper near the top. Leaves are broad, smooth 
and fringed at the edges. For market and 
roadside sales, Chihli is extensively grown, for 
the large, attractive heads sell readily; it is 
the most popular for the home garden. 
Pkt. 10)^; oz. 25^; 4 ozs. 75^; lb. $1.15; 
lb. $2.00; 2 lbs. $3.70.
