Cauliflower 
One ounce will produce 1500 to 2000 plants; 
6 to 8 ounces wilt plant an acre 
“The Forbes.” ‘This fine outstanding 
variety far surpasses any other for 4 
early or late crop. It is of the Snow- 
ball type but the crop heads up prac- 
tically all at one time. For this 
reason, do not use it for large main- 
crop plantings unless planted in suc- 
cession. It excels all Snowball and 
Erfurt Cauliflowers for vigor and 
freedom from disease and produces 
first-grade No. 1 heads, even under 
adverse growing conditions when most other 
varieties cut largely second-grade heads. 
“The Forbes” is very early and the whole 
crop will be entirely headed up when only 
an occasional plant heads of the other varieties, planted at the same time. 
“The Forbes” has unusually fme protection. The leaves are broad, somewhat 
crumpled, and without any bare stem. The mner Jeaves wrap tightly over the 
head from its beginning up to 4 inches diameter, when the heads should be tied 
up. A few days of favorable growing weather quickly i increase the size to 10 to 
11 inches diameter. For this reason, watch the plants closely and cut at the size 
that best suits your market. Broad, pure white, solid, rounded curds. 
Forbes Reliance. A truly de luxe strain in which nearly every plant produces 
very deep, unusually heavy, No. 1 heads with fme white curds. The large thrifty 
plants are thoroughly well protected, both by the form of their growth and by 
the abundant foliage. The heads vie as to size, color and weight with the best 
we have seen, and we believe the plants are more than ordinarily resistant to the 
climatic and moisture extremes to which Cauliflower is so sensitive. While best 
for main crop, It has given excellent results for early crop, where maturing all 
at once is not essential. The heads are slightly smaller than if grown for a fall 
crop, and will mature slightly later than an early crop of “The Forbes.” 
White Mountain. We offer this excellent, vigorous, uniform strain not only for its fine 
physical qualities that make it a perfect Cauliflower but, more important still, for 
its ability to produce those sterling qualities of perfection under particularly trying 
and adverse growing conditions. Where other first-quality strains have failed, 
White Mountain has, by its inherent resistance, produced perfect crops. The 
heads, with a pure white curd of fe texture, have great depth, with no “ricmess” 
or interleaves. The foliage is medium-sized, with inner leaves which fully protect 
the head until nearly mature. The main crop will be ready in 120 days. 
Early Snowball, Forbes Strain. An extra-early variety, but it has displaced many 
of the large late sorts for fall use. It 1s of fine quality and produces snow-white 
heads, averaging 8 to 10 inches in diameter. It is small-leaved and its close- 
growing, compact habit permits planting one-third more plants on the same 
land. Will withstand very unusual weather and still produce a good crop. 
Super-Snowball. A first-early, quick crop Snowdrift. Large, deep, firm heads with a 
which matures very evenly. It is hardly fine, well-protected white curd. Excellent 
excelled by any other as to size or color. for main crop

Cucumbers 
One ounce for 50 hills; 2 pounds per acre in hills, 
5 pounds in drills 
rs ee Long, slender, dark green 
fruits that look like fine-quality hot- 
house Cucumbers. They are perfect 
when 10 inches Iong and 2 inches 
across, and when mature are 12 to 
14 by 2% to 234 inches. This is 
very popular as che fruits are very 
smooth, evenly surfaced, and almost 
entirely colored with very dark green. 
They are ideal at mid-size for packing 
in fancy flat boxes and retain their dark 
green when shipped to distant markets. 
The vines are quite productive.

are highly resistant to unfavorable growing conditions and form fruits in about 
60 days. Holds its intense dark color longer than any other.
