produce heads when other 
varieties are a complete 
failure due to lack of mois-

most valuable feature, it 
is a cauliflower of the 
highest quality, produc- 
ing large, pure white heads 
that weigh 2 to 3 lbs. 
each. If you have been 
unsuccessful in getting 
cauliflower to head, give

Burpee’s Cauliflower seed is produced on 
our Floradale Farms and is the equal of 
that grown anywhere in the world. 
Cauliflower is best grown as a fall crop in the greater part of the United States, 
although in regions where summers are reasonably cool, sowings may be made 
indoors or under glass, 30 to 40 days before it is time to set plants in the garden. 
For a main or fall crop, sow the seed in a specially prepared seed-bed or cold- 
frame about 4 months before your first expected frost. When plants are ready to 
be set in the garden, space them 1% to 2 ft. apart, in rows 2% to 3 ft. apart. A 
packet of seed will produce about 150 plants; 1 oz. 4000 plants. Days to maturity 
are from the time the plants are set out in the garden. 
This is an exceptionally choice strain of Super 
Snowball as offered by Burpee. It stands out as the most
