CAULIFLOWER ~ 
APPROVED BY THE SEVEREST CRITICS 
SUPPLY OF CAULIFLOWER SEED 
America’s main supply of cauliflower seed has been produced in Holland and Denmark, but as you 
are aware no seed has been imported from the 1941 crop. The seed we offer has been carried over from 
1939 and 1940 crops, and this seed we offer as long as our supply lasts. 
For next year we expect to supply cauliflower seed from a very promising crop now being produced on 
our own farms. 
CULTURE: For early June crops with altitudes about the same as Denver, sow seed 
in hotbeds during February. For higher altitudes, later planting is best. Plants should 
be gradually hardened off before setting out in the field, which should be done shortly 
after the first of April. For midseason crops plant seed in cold frames. For late crops 
plant seed in May and after plants are 4 to 6 inches high, transplant to field about 
June 15th. Cauliflower is grown much in the same manner as Cabbage. To make the 
best, largest and whitest heads the plants need cool, moist weather, well enriched 
soil and thorough cultivation. After the heads begin to form, the leaves should be 
drawn up around them and tied, thus to produce snowy white heads. Cauliflower is 
very sensitive and extreme care is necessary in growing the plants. Be careful that 
the hotbeds are not kept too warm and plants grow too tall and spindly, nor must the 
roots at any time be allowed to become dry either in the plant bed or in the field. A 
packet will produce about 150 plants, an ounce about 3,000 and four ounces are re- 
quired for an acre. (Cauliflower worms can be controlled by the use of CUBOR without 
danger of poisoning. See page 70.)

MOUNTAIN SNOWBALL. A medium early 
variety that produces a heavy yield of 
fine quality heads which are pure white, 
compact, deep and heavy. Foliage is

(Pkt. 25c) (Y%4 oz. $1.10) (oz. $3.75) (Ib. $47). 

Mount Blanc 
MOUNT BLANC. This has proven to be 
the wonder variety of cauliflower. It 
yields more marketable heads per acre SNOWDRIFT NO. 16. An excellent early 
than any other early variety. Especially 
adapted to Colorado and the Rocky 
Mountain region. It grows on a short 
stem with heavy foliage closely set. The 
crop heads simultaneously. Three cut- 
tings usually clear the field. Especially 
recommended for extra early crop and 
late fall crop for fall. This variety has 
given wonderful results in San Luis Val- 
ley, Canon City, Pueblo, Denver, Phoen- 
ix, etc., in fact wherever grown. For late 
crop sow the seed in May, transplant to 
fields in June and crop will be ready in 
September.

MAXINE SNOWBALL or SELF PROTECT- 
t 
: 
f 
§ 
ING SNOWBALL. It is second early and 
a heavy yielder of even-sized and very 
firm heads. The foliage is very dense 
and overlaps the tender flower, thus pro- 
tecting it from the hot sun and making 
it an almost sure crop.

ny 
strain of Snowdrift cauliflower. It is a 
well stalked type, and for many localities 
it is superior to other strains of Snow- 
drift. Leaves grow long and erect form- 
ing a good protector for the deep well 
rounded white heads. 
(Pkt. 30c) (%4 oz. $1.25) (oz. $3.75) (lb. $50). 
HARTNER’S SPECIAL SNOWBALL. A 
beautiful main crop cauliflower. Heads 
are deep balloon shaped, very regular, 
and well protected with heavy dark 
green foliage. 
(Pkt. 20c) (% oz. 70c) (oz. $2.50) (Ib. $30). 
You will note that some of the prices we 
are quoting on cauliflower seed are quite 
low. This is due to the fact that seed on 
these varieties we carried over. We can 
only supply this seed so long as our stocks 
last. 
ORIGINATOR’S SUPER SNOWBALL. Best 
suited for the extra early crop. It is a 
fast grower and very fast maturing. Be 
prepared to tie the leaves just as soon 
as the small heads begin to show and 
you can expect the entire crop to mature 
at practically the same time. Produces a 
strong plant with good sized, pure white 
heads, covered with plenty of dark green 
foliage.
