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 will produce about 150 plants; 1 oz. 4000 
plants; 2 ozs. for one acre. Days to maturity are from 
field setting of plants. Treat seed with Semesan to 
prevent damping off. 
253 BurpeeanaO 
82 days. This is Super Snowball as offered by 
Burpee. It stands out as the most valuable 
cauliflower. In tests of the Pennsylvania State 
College 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, showing 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. 250; V4 oz. 800; V 2 oz. $1.35; 
oz. $2.35; 4 ozs. $7.80; V 2 lb. $14.50; lb. $28.00.

255 Burpee’s Ideal Snowball O 
90 days. 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. Plants 
are.dwarf and compact, heads large, solid and snow white. 
Grown everywhere. Pkt. 20 0; Vi oz. 750; V 2 oz. $1-30. 
oz. $2.25; 4 ozs. $7.50; V 2 lb. $13.95; lb. $27.00. 
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. 
Pkt. 150; */4 oz. 650; V 2 oz. $1*15; oz. $2.00; 4 ozs. $6.65;

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, 
snow-white curd of the best quality. They weigh about 
2 lbs. each and often more if grown under favorable con¬ 
ditions. Pkt. 150; Vi oz * 550; W oz. $1.00; oz. $1.65; 
4 ozs. $5.55; V£ lb. $10.30; lb. $20.00. 
246 Burpee’s Fordhook 
81 days. Will produce good-sized heads even under unfa¬ 
vorable conditions when most other varieties fail. 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. Sure to give satisfaction. 
Pkt. 150; Vi oz * 550; V2 oz * $1.15; oz. $2.00; 4 ozs. $6.65; 
1/2 lb. $12.35; lb. $24.00. 
254 Danamerica 
85 days. This new cauliflower, which is of the Snowball 
type, is notable for its ability to form marketable heads 
under the most unsatisfactory growing conditions. In fre¬ 
quent tests it has produced 25% to 40% more desirable 
heads than any other variety. Valuable for home and 
market. Pkt. 250; Vi oz * 950; Vi oz * $1.65; oz. $2.90; 
4 ozs. $9.70; 1/2 lb. $18.00; lb. $35.00.

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. 150; Vi oz. 600; V2 oz. $1-10; oz. $1.75; 
4 ozs. $5.85; V2 lb. $10.90; lb. $21.00. 
258 Veitch’s 
Autumn Giant 
130 days. The finest of the 
late cauliflowers; it produces 
i mmense compact white heads 
surrounded 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. 100; Vi oz* 200; 
V 2 ° z * 300; oz. 500; 
4 ozs. $1.50; V 2 lb. $2.75;

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. 
Where 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 73 to 78 days. 
212 Pe-Tsai

has an agreeably pungent flavor. Heads grow 
10 to 12 in. tall. Pkt. 100; oz. 250; 
4 ozs. 700; V 2 lb. $1.10; lb. $1.90; 2 lbs. $3.50. 
211 Wong Bok

lb. $2.00; 2 lbs. $3.70, 
214 Chihli o 
73 days. Deserves to be largely planted, as 
it is an early and sure-heading Chinese Cab¬ 
bage, 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 ex¬ 
tensively grown for the large, attractive 
heads sell readily; it is the most popular for 
the home garden. Very crisp and tender. 
Pkt. 100; oz. 250; 4 ozs. 75c; 
1/2 lb. $1.15; lb. $2.00; 2 lbs. $3.70.
