Early Snowball Cauliflower 

CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower is not difficult to 
grow. If your garden produces 
good cabbage, it should successfully 
grow Cauliflower. It is one of the 
garden’s most delectable luxuries. 
Culture. Requires rich soil and 
abundant moisture. The only sig- 
nificant difference in the culture of 
Cauliflower and that of cabbage is 
that with Cauliflower the heads 
must be protected from sunlight in 
order to insure the much desired 
white curd. This is most readily 
accomplished by gathering the leaves 
together loosely, as soon as the 
heads begin to form, and tying them 
at the top. One ounce will produce 
2000 strong plants: % pound suf-

144 Early Snowball. 55 aays from 
plants. Our cauliflower seed is grown 
for us by one of the foremost Ameri- 
Can specialists and for early maturing, 
we believe our strain is equal, if not 
superior, to any stock of Snowball be- 
ing offered, regardless of price. The 
large heads are pure snow-white, solid, 
finely grained and very deep. It heads 
so evenly that the entire crop may be 
harvested within: a short time after it 
begins to mature. The plants are quick- 
growing and vigorous, and the erect 
leaves are quite large and curl over the 
heads protecting them from the sun. 
The compact heads make a beautiful 
appearance on any market and always 
sell for the highest prices. Pit. 20c¢;
