Cauliflower delights in a rich, moist soil and in dry seasons should be abundantly watered, especially when head- 
Early cauliflower is difficult to grow and is not of the best quality as the plants mature when the weather is hot. 
When the plants are set out about the first of July there should be no difficulty in getting fine large heads of first class 
quality, as these plants will mature when the weather is cool. 
February and transplant when weather permits. 
For early crops sow the seed in the hot beds in January or 
For late crop sow the seed in cold frames or in the open ground in April 
or May. Set only young, stocky plants that have not been stunted; 10,000 plants will plant an acre. Cauliflower is a rank 
grower and requires more room that cabbage. 
Care must be taken that the plants do not become checked in growth as that 
will cause them to head prematurely. Cultivation for cauliflower is the same as for cabbage and for Aphis and Worm con-

SUPER-SNOWBALL—A very ex- 
cellent variety, bred for early 
heading and uniformity. Heads 
are compact, medium large, pure 
white in color. Plants are 
sturdy. Leaf growth sufficient 
to make tying easy. A popular 
variety among market gardeners 
and shippers.

EARLY AMERICAN BEAUTY SNOWBALL—This 
new variety is outstanding for earliness and abil- 
ity to produce uniform fine large heads. It is the 
earliest cauliflower we have seen, producing a 
great proportion of the heads in one cutting. The 
heads are of the Snowball type, uniformly large 
and deep, with a somewhat rough but beautiful 
white and tight curd. The plant is rugged with an 
abundance of long, broad leaves which protect 
the head until it is quite large.

$16.00) (ib, $60.00). 
EARLY SNOWBALL HENDERSON’S — Undoubtedly 
the finest and most popular early variety. Heads 
very early, of medium size, firm, compact, solid 
and very white; plant compact in growth with few 
short, upright leaves.

SNOWDRIFT—Is a somewhat more vigorous type of 
the Snowball class and selected to produce a larger 
head than Snowball without losing its earliness. 
This new strain matures with great evenness. The 
pure white heads are remarkable for their great 
depth, weight and unexcelled white color. The curd 
is of fine texture and resistant in a high measure 
to “riciness’, and “fuzziness”. We are sincere in 
believing that Snowdrift ranks as one of the very 
superior stocks of Cauliflower available anywhere.

SUPER SELECT SNOWBALL—This is an extra early 
variety that does. equally well for late planting. 
It is an American introduction by one of America’s 
foremost seed growers. Crop results the past three 
years have been very gratifying. Cauliflower 
growers should try this on a limited acreage and 
compare results with seed from other sources.

Snowdrift 
WHITE MOUNTAIN—A very desirable sort for ship- 
ping. A strong growing variety of the snowball 
type, produces larger and deeper heads and with no 
unusual growing hinderances will make véry ample 
foliage with overlapping leaves over the head as a 
protection to the snow white heads in its forming. 
It is short stemmed and is not as “leggy” as many 
other types; matures with great uniformity and 
when tied comes on very rapidly.

DANISH GIANT OR DRY WEATHER—This is a 
fine, large, heavy variety that matures later than 
the Snowball. It is especially adapted for growing 
in dry localities on account of its large leaves, 
which furnish a great protection for the heads. 
The ideal variety for the dry farmer or parties 
having scarcity of water.
