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. 
Chester Utter of Stamford, N. Y. is proud of 
his crop from our Snowball Perfected Strain. 
Home gardeners find cauliflower picked 
while still small is extremely deliciousl 
There is no difficulty getting hard fine heads when the plants are 
set out in June or early July so that the heads form in September 
and October. 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 small gardens it is often better to buy plants. See page 82. 
SNOWBALL. Perfected Strain. The Best Cauliflower. 
- - This is without doubt the best all round 
cauliflower and we highly 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 and without protruding leaves. 
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 available at any price.

SNOWDRIFT. Called White Mountain and Improved 
-- Holland Erfurt. Noted for its extremely 
white heads. The heads are large, deep and with a fine tight 
curd. The plants are sturdy with large leaves that cover the 
heads exceptionally well. Matures a little earlier than Snowball. 
This is a very reliable variety and is popular in many sections. 
We have a very true stock.

Mix PEAT MOSS with the top soil in your

SUPER SNOWBALL. ° ri S' nal Strain. A larger, earlier 
-—-1 type of 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 all 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.

DANISH GLORY. Ne - This has proved to be a reliable header 
- - under many different growing conditions. 
It is a selection from Super Snowball maturing about midway between 
Super Snowball and Perfected Snowball. The heads form very evenly 
and 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.

EARLY AMERICAN SNOWBALL. New. The Earliest Variety. 
This new variety is outstanding for earliness and ability to produce uni¬ 
form fine large heads. It is the earliest cauliflower we have seen, pro¬ 
ducing 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 
long broad leaves which protect the head until it is quite large. 
This is a worthy variety which you should be sure to try this year.

NEW EARLY PURPLE HEAD. !""f Heading Italian 
_____ Purple. I he earliest and 
surest heading purple cauliflower we have ever seen, producing fine 
tight heads fully two weeks before any other purple slocks. The heads 
are the same shape as ordinary cauliflower but are deep purple on top, 
and have a much more delicate, pleasing flavor. Some of our friends 
who do not like ordinary cauliflower think the Italian Purple delicious. 
This is a most uniform stock, every plant producing a fine tight head. 
When cooked the heads are the same color as broccoli, as the purple 
color disappears entirely. Very easy to grow. Try some this year. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 55c; Oz. $1.75; % Lb. $6.00; Lb. $21.00. 
ITALIAN PURPLE. New Early Purple Head described above is the 
best stock. 
“The Italian Purple Cauliflower was sure a prizewinner and every one 
who tried it pronounced it superior in flavor to the white cauliflower."
