Blumenkohl (Ger.) 
CAULIFLOWER 
Cavoloflore (It.) 
One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to WOO plants in open ground , or about 3000 in frames; a packet 
will produce 150 plants. 
There is no difficulty getting tight fine heads when the plants are set 
out in June or early July so that the heads form in September and Octo¬ 
ber. If weather and soil conditions are normal, the seed should be sown 
in open ground or cold frames about the middle of May or first of June. 
When plants are large enough, transplant in rich, moist soil. Care must be 
taken that the plants do not become checked in growth, as that will 
cause them to head prematurely. 
For the small garden it is often better to buy the plants. See page 82. 
SNOWBALL. Perfected Strain. The Best Cauliflower. We 
-firmly believe this to be the best all round cauli¬ 
flower and recommend it both for home garden and market. It will 
produce the finest, most attractive heads. 
Although an early variety. Snowball has proved to be the best for 
late or main crop. The plant is dwarf and compact and the heads are 
large, deep, solid, snow white, and with a tight curd that has no pro¬ 
truding leaves when grown under normal conditions. 
We have grown a great many strains of Snowball Cauliflower in our 
trials but have never seen one that compares with this for all round 
good points. Our customers tell us that there is no better stock avail¬ 
able at any price.

EARLY AMERICAN SNOWBALL. " e w ™ eE 
- Iiest Variety. 
This new variety is outstanding for earliness and ability to produce 
uniform fine large heads. It is the earliest cauliflower we have seen, 
producing a great proportion of the heads in one cutting. The heads 
are of the Snowball type, uniformly large and deep, with a somewhat 
rough but beautiful white and tight curd. The plant is rugged with an 
abundance of long broad leaves which protect the head until it is 
quite large. 
This is a worthy variety and you should try it this year.

DANISH GLORY. NEW. A selection from late plants of Super Snow¬ 
ball and as such carries many of the good points of that variety. It has 
a sturdy plant with broad leaves which curl over and protect the young 
heads. Danish Glory matures about midway between Super Snowball 
and Perfected Snowball, maturing the heads very evenly so that a 
large part of the crop can be cut during a short period of time. 
The heads are large, deeper than Super Snowball, snow white with 
an attractive tight curd. 
During the past three years Danish Glory has proved to be a good 
header under many different growing conditions.

Danish Giant or “Dry Weather.” This strain of Snowball Cauliflower 
is especially valuable for high ground, and is considered to stand dry 
weather better. The heads mature a week or 10 days later than Snow¬ 
ball and have more leaves to protect them from the sun and frost.

Mr. Joseph Schickler, of Coldwater, N. Y., gets top prices by using Harris’ Perfected 
Strain of Snowball Cauliflower. 
SUPER SNOWBALL. 
Original Strain. A larger, earlier 
and better Snowball Cauliflower. 
This grand variety is not only very early but it heads more evenly than 
any other strains of Snowball we know and on this account has been 
one of the most profitable varieties for the grower ever introduced. 
It heads so evenly that often the whole crop can be harvested before 
the later varieties are ready. This may be an objection for the home 
garden where cauliflower is wanted ail through the season but for 
market it should certainly be used for at least part of the planting. 
Those who want the largest and finest cauliflower early in the season 
will find the Super Snowball a most satisfactory kind. It requires good 
land and favorable growing conditions for best results. On poorer soil 
other varieties sometimes do better. 
The plants are strong and vigorous and the leaves curl over the heads 
so as to protect them from the sun and keep them white until the heads 
are quite large. 
The seed we offer was grown by the originator and is the finest strain 
of this kind that can be obtained at any price.

ERFURT EARLY DWARF or Catskill Snowball. Solid compact 
heads much like Snowball, but has somewhat shorter stems. A very 
reliable header in many localities.

ITALIAN PURPLE. The Most Delicious Cauliflower. Some of our 
friends who do not like ordinary cauliflower think the Italian Purple 
delicious. Try some of it. We know you will like it. It is of more 
delicate flavor than Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts and far superior in 
quality to any other kind of cauliflower. 
The heads are the same shape as ordinary cauliflower but in¬ 
stead of being white are deep purple on the top. When cooked 
this cauliflower is green like Broccoli, which it resembles in 
flavor, but is far more delicate. 
Purple Cauliflower is easy to grow. The plants are tall, 
robust and resistant to disease. The heads mature late in the 
season but they do not require tying. Gardeners who have 
been fortunate enough to grow this kind have been able to sell 
it at high prices.

Danish Perfection. A late strain of Snowball Cauliflower maturing a 
week or 10 days later than the early Snowball. The heads are very 
firm, solid and snow white.
