CAULIFLOWER —~— 
APPROVED BY THE SEVEREST CRITICS 
SUPPLY OF CAULIFLOWER SEED 
We are fortunate in having a limited supply of Holland and Denmark grown cauliflower seed which 
we reserved and carried over from the 1941 crop. Germination is excellent. 
We also have some 1942 
American grown seed at lower prices, but we recommend the imported seed. 
_ 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 68.)

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 
heavy and dark green with good rib. 
Many growers are partial to this variety 
for main crop. Does not head all at one 
time.

EARLY COPENHAGEN SNOWBALL. ‘Se- 
lected.) An old favorite early Erfurt 
strain. Produces good white heavy heads. 
While this is an early variety, yet, it is 
used mes’ly for midseason and late crops.

than any other early variety. Especially

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.

EXTRA EARLY MOUNTAIN SNOWBALL or 
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.

Snowdrift No. 16 
SNOWDRIFT NO. 16. (Imported seed.) After 
many years of growing cauliflower for 
market and selling seed we have come 
to the conclusion that this is the best 
main and late crop variety. In fact we 
planted this fall on our vegetable farm 
in Arizona 300 acres of this variety and 
harvested a wonderful crop of cauli- 
flower. Plants are vigorous, leaves long 
and erect, forming a good protector for 
the deep well rounded heads. We still 
have some European grown seed on 
hand.

Heads are deep, 
heavy, pure white with good foliage 
which stands erect protecting the head. 
If sown at the same time as Mount Blanc, 
crop will be ready just following our 
Mount Blanc. The seed we have to offer 
of this variety is American grown. This 
past season we made several trials of 
this American grown seed and found it 
produces fine large heads but is a little 
later than the imported.

HARTNER’S SPECIAL SNOWBALL. A

and well protected with heavy dark 
green foliage.
