Blumenkohl (Ger.) 
One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 
plants in open ground, or about 3000 in 
frames; a packet will produce 150 plants. 

There is no difficulty getting firm 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 _ pre- 
maturely. 
For small gardens it is often better to 
buy plants. See page 82. 
Cauliflower Seed for 1941 
Due to the invasion of Holland and Denmark there is a distinct 
shortage of good cauliflower seed. We were very fortunate however, in 
getting our supplies in early, so that we have enough seed of our same 
proven, fine quality stocks to supply our customers normal needs. You 
can buy Harris’ Cauliflower seed with every confidence. 
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 also 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 pro- 
truding 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. 
Pkt. 25c; 14 Oz. $1.20; Oz. $4.00; 14 Lb. $14.00; Lb. $50.00. 
Called White Mountain and Improved Holland 
SNOWDRIFT. 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 at 
the same time as Snowball. This is a very reliable variety and is popular 
in many sections. We have a very true stock. 
Pkt. 25c; 14 Oz. $1.20; Oz. $4.00; 14 Lb. $14.00; Lb. $50.00. 
DANISH GIANT or “Dry Weather.”’ This strain of Snowball Cauli- 
flower is especially valuable for high ground, and is considered to stand 
dry weather better. The heads mature a week or 10 days later than 
Snowball and have more leaves to protect them from the sun and frost. 
Pkt. 25c; 14 Oz. $1.00; Oz. $3.25; 14 Lb. $11.50; Lb. $40.00.

EARLY AMERICAN SNOWBALL. fot variety.” 
liest Variety. 
It is the earliest cauliflower we have seen and produces a great propor- 
tion of the heads in one cutting. The heads are of the Snowball type, 
earlier but not quite as large as Super Snowball. They are uniformly 
large and deep, with a somewhat rough but beautifully white and tight 
curd. The plantis rugged with long broad leaves which protect the head 
until it is quite large. 
This is a very superior strain of Cauliflower and should be grown 
wherever early cauliflower is desired. 
Pkt. 25c; 144 Oz. $1.10; Oz. $3.50; 144 Lb. $12.50; Lb. $45.00. 
SUPER SNOWBALL. 4 !arger) very early Cauliflower. A 
grand variety, earlier than any other 
strain of Snowball except Early American described on this page and on 
this account has been one of the most profitable varieties for the grower. 
It heads so evenly that often the largest part of the crop can be har- 
vested 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. 
It requires good land and favorable growing conditions for best 
results. On poorer soil other varieties sometimes do better. 
Pkt. 30c; 144 Oz. $1.35; Oz. $4.50; 14 Lb. $15.50; Lb. $55.00. 
ERFURT EARLY DWARF or Catskill Snowball. Solid compact heads 
much like Snowball, but has a shorter stem and matures somewhat 
later. A very reliable header in many localities. 
Pkt. 25; 14 Oz. $1.00; Oz. $3.25; 14 Lb. $11.50; Lb. $40.00. 
Italian Purple Cauliflower 
NEW EARLY PURPLE HEAD. Surest Heading Stock. The earliest and 
surest heading purple cauliflower we have 
ever seen, producing fine tight heads fully two weeks before any other purple kinds. 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. 
When cooked the heads are the same color as broccoli, as the purple color disappears. 
The plants are large and robust. This is a most uniform stock, every plant producing 
a fine tight head. Very easy to grow. Try some this year. 
Pkt. 25ce; 14 Oz. 90c; Oz. $3.00; 144 Lb. $10.00; Lb. $35.00. 
“In 1939 I tried your Purple Cauliflower and was very pleased with the result as I never 
before succeeded in raising Cauliflower of any kind.” Miss Elsie Kelso, Olneyville, R. I. 
April 25, 1940. 
“TI grew 1 acre of your Purple Cauliflower last year and had wonderful success both in 
growing and selling of the same.” W. Jonson, Clarkson, Ont., Canada. June 5, 1940.
