Ger.—Blnmenkohl CAULIFLOWER 
Scnud.^Blomknal 
(One ounce for 2,000 plants—to 100 feet of drill ■— 6 ozs., to the acre) 
Culture —Cauliflower is a gross feeder, and well repays heavy manuring and high culture. It suc¬ 
ceeds best on well drained soil. For Spring crop, plant the seed in protected beds early in February and 
the plants will be ready to transplant probably early in April. Plant in rows two feet apart and eigh¬ 
teen inches in the row. 
Cniiliflower Peerless Early Snowball 
Peerless Early Snowball —Is the best all-round 
Cauliflower on the market for early or 
late use, for the family or the market garden. 
It heads where others fail. Its close and co mnac t 
habit of growth permits one-third more to be 
planted on the same space of ground than can 
be done with other varieties. 90 days. Pkt., 10c; 
%-oz., 55c; Vs-ox., $1.00; oz., $1.60; ^4-lb., $5.50.

Extra Early Snowball or Danish Perfection— This 
new strain possesses all the good qualities of the 
best Early Snowball strains and has • shown an 
unusual uniformity in maturing. , The leaves 
closely enfolding the head give it a particularly 
attractive appearance, and as the inner leaves 
almost cover the snow-white flower the necessary 
early tying up as in the case of other early sorts 
is largely avoided. It is the earliest strain of 
its type. 80 days. Pkt., 15c; y^-ox., 55c; %-oz., 
$1.00; oz., $1.75; *4-lb., $6.50.
