Super Snowball Cauliflower 
CAULIFLOWER 
Culture—Cauliflower. needs the same treatment as 
cabbage, but is not so hardy and requires protection 
against cold, heat and drought. Must have plenty of 
water in summer. Sow for early crop in hot bed in Janu- 
ary or February, and do not transplant until all danger 
of frost is past. For late crop, sow in May or June and 
treat like late cabbage. Set plants about 18 inches apart 
in 3 foot rows. One ounce will produce 2000 plants. 
Super Snowball. The finest, earliest, most 
profitable cauliflower variety in existence. Given 
good soil, and proper care, Super Snowball can be 
harvested and out of the way before ordinary 
varieties are ready to cut. The heads are large, 
the leaves quite large and curl over the head for 
protection from the sun. ‘This seed is the origi- 
nator’s strain. Pkt., 25c; 1% oz., $1.50; oz., 
$2.50; 14 lb., $7.50; 1 lb., $25.00. 
CHINESE CABBAGE 
Culture—These varieties resemble cos lettuce, but 
should be grown like cabbage. If for early planting, 
sow in hotbeds in February; if for later planting, sow 
early in June. The plant matures in from 12 to 15 
weeks from time of sowing seeds, and will not stand 
frost. We suggest that fall sowing is best, and 
thinning better than transplanting.
