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 formed a larger percentage 
of marketable heads than any other cauliflower. It is 
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. Vigorous.

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 in a specially prepared seed-bed or coldframe during June and set plants 
out inearly 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. are required to produce enough plants for one acre. Days to 
maturity are from the time the plants are set out in the garden. 


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 headsin 73 to 78 days. 
A packet will sow about 25 ft. of row, an oz. about 200 ft. Be sure to grow some this year.
