CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower 
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. For 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 white. 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 
Mount Blanc. (New.) After thorough trials, we have 
found this to be a wonderful variety for both early and 
late crop, a two season variety. 
1 . Heads unusually high crowned, solid, heavy and snow 
white. 
2. For 3 years in succession, on our farm south of Denver 
we made practically a 100 % cut of perfect heads. 
3. A field of this flower heads simultaneously, 3 cuttings 
usually clears the field. 
4. It is a short-stem variety, leaves set very closely 
together. 
5. 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 Moun¬ 
tain Snowball. 
“ B ” To plant for late crop to come on in October. 
6 . Also especially adapted for mountain growing.

Extra Early Mountain Snowball or Improved Super Snow¬ 
ball. A cauliflower of exceptional merit and quality. 
Best suited for the extra early crop. 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, cov¬ 
ered with plenty of dark green foliage. Pkt., 25c; 
V 2 oz., $1.50; oz., $2.25; Vi $8.00; lb., $28.00, postpaid. 
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. 
Pkt., 15c; Vi oz., 50c; V 2 oz., 90c; oz., $1.45; Vi lb.. 
$6.25; lb., $20.00, postpaid. 
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. Pkt., 25c; 
Vi oz., 65c; V 2 oz., $1.00; oz., $1.75; Vi $6.50; lb., 
$22.00, postpaid. 
Maxine Snowball or Self Protecting Snowbali. 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. Pkt., 15c; Vi oz., 50c; V2 oz., 
$ 1 . 00 ; oz., $1.50; Vi I^m $5.50; lb., $ 20 . 00 , postpaid. 
White Mountain Selected. This we have found to be the 
best main crop variety of cauliflower, and we consider 
it the most beautiful variety of cauliflower grown. 
Heads are deep heavy pure white with good foliage. If 
sown at the same time as Mount Blanc, crop will be 
ready just following our Mount Blanc. For the past two 
years we have had wonderful yields and fine quality with 
this variety both on our farm in the vicinity of Denver 
and in the mountains of Colorado. Also very fine results 
at Pueblo and Canon City, Colo. Pkt., 25c; V 2 oz., $1.40; 
oz., $2.25; 1/4 lb., $7.75; lb., $28.00.
