CAULIFLOWER 
CULTURE—For early cauliflower, start in cold frame. 
For fall cutting, Improved Early Calabrese 
Green Broccoli and all listed varieties of cauliflower except November-December, should be planted 
June Ist to 20th and transplanted July 15th to August 10. For late cauliflower, the November-December 
variety should be planted the first week in May, transplanting July Ist to 15th. For St. Valentine 
Broccoli, plant the first week in May, transplanting July 20th to August 10th. Cauliflower and Broccoli 
do best in a rich, loamy soil, not a cold wet location. Plant 214 to 31% feet in rows, and 31% feet between 
rows. 
Before the heads are large enough to be exposed to the light, tie or break the leaves carefully 
over the head to keep out the light. Great care should be used in growing plants of any of the early sorts, 
that they receive no severe check in their growth, as this will cause them to produce premature heads.

GILL BROS. SPECIAL SNOWBALL —An ex- 
cellent late shipping variety grown extensively in 
the Portland territory. 
SNOWBALL No. 16—Early and produces large 
thick, solid, white heads. Stands up well under 
rather unfavorable weather conditions. One of the 
best shipping varieties. Good for summer or fall 
cutting. 
LATE CAULIFLOWER 
NOVEMBER-DECEMBER—Reauires a long grow- 
ing season. Especially suited to Pacific Coast states. 
This makes large solid heads of finest quality. 
For inexperienced growers this is the easiest to 
grow. Plants grow rather tall with long heavy 
ribbed leaves. It does not make premature or ‘‘fool 
heads.’’ See cultural directions above. Postpaid.

a light green. Plant same as November-December 
variety. The sweetest, most tender of all cauli- 
flower types. Pkt. 15c. 
SPRING Broccoli WHITE 
*ST. VALENTINE OREGON SPECIAL—The best 
sort for spring shipment; the solid, handsome, 
white heads being of immense size and ready in 
February and March.

grown broccoli seed is inferior, but you will find 
this strain well developed for commercial crops. 
Selected seed of our own growing. Postpaid. 
Pkt. 15c; 4 oz. 45c; oz. $1.25; 4 Ib. $3.75; Ib. $12.00. 
Green Broccoli 
IMPROVED EARLY CALABRESE —A valuable 
Italian vegetable forming heads of deep green, just 
about the same color as the foliage. After the main 
head is cut, smaller heads branch out below. It is 
very tender, nutritious and delicious, and can be 
raised as easily as cabbage. Plant the seed June Ist 
to 20th and transplant July 15th to August 10th, in 
the same manner as other cauliflower or broccoli. 
It is very hardy and is not injured by light or 
white frosts, so needs no protection. Do not at- 
tempt to grow this for summer use except near the 
coast. It can be planted from seed in rows 3 feet 
apart and thin to 15 inches in the row. Postpaid. 
Pkt. 10c; 4 oz. 45c; oz. 75c; 4 Ib. $2.00; Ib. $6.00. 
MEDIUM CALABRESE—A later strain of the
