Savoy Callage 
This fine cabbage should have a place in every home garden because 
the quality is so much better than ordinary cabbage. The flavor when 
cooked is mild and pleasing, much superior to ordinary cabbage. If you 
have not eaten Savoy cabbage you have no idea what fine cabbage 
tastes like. 
292 SUPER CURLED SAVOY. The Best Savoy for Home 
or Market. This is the finest 
stock of Savoy cabbage. The plants are uniform, short stemmed and 
compact. The heads are large, firm, round and completely blistered or 
“Savoyed” all through the head, and of exceptionally fine quality. The 
interior of the head is an attractive light green color and has a most 
pleasant and appetizing flavor. 
This strain matures earlier and more evenly than any stock we have 
ever seen. If plants are set out about July Ist, it makes an excellent 
type for home gardeners to store for winter use, as the quality is so 
much better than any other storage cabbage.

CAULIFLOWER 
Super Curled 


One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 plants in open ground, or about 3000 in frames; a packet will produce 150 plants. 
Cauliflower is not difficult to grow in the home garden if you do not 
attempt to get heads too early in the summer. Sow the seed in open 
ground or cold frames about the middle of May or first of June. Trans- 
plant to rich moist soil late in June or early July. If soil and weather 
conditions are normal, fine large heads will be produced in September 
and October. More experienced growers get good early cauliflower by 
rome 

Snowball, Perfected Strain—By far the best cauliflower. 
331 EARLY SNOWBALL. This is a uniform early type that we recom- 
mend to growers who want an earlier strain than Snowball Perfected 
Strain. It ripens a week or ten days before that variety and under nor- 
mal conditions will ripen a large part of the crop at one time. The 
heads are of good type, rounded and fairly deep with good leaf protec- 
tion. Not quite as broad heads or as early as Super Snowball, but a 
good early strain that will produce dependable crops of fine heads. 
Pkt. 25c; 14 Oz. 90c; 1% Oz. $1.70; Oz. $3.00. 
345 SUPER SNOWBALL. An extra early variety with very broad flat 
heads, maturing all at one time. Very profitable under good conditions. 
We regret that due to crop failure we cannot supply seed of our Super 
Snowball in 1945. We recommend Early Snowball listed above as the best 
kind to grow in tts place. 
333 NEW EARLY PURPLE HEAD. The Most Delicious 
Cauliflower. Of more 
delicate flavor than Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts and superior in 
quality to any other kind of cauliflower. 
The heads are the same shape as ordinary cauliflower but instead of 
being white are deep purple on the top. When cooked this cauliflower is 
green like Broccoli, which it resembles in flavor, but is far more delicate. 
Purple cauliflower is by far the easiest to grow. The plants are large 
and robust, and this stock is so sure heading that every plant produces 
a fine tight head. They do not require tying as the heads are not 
blanched. This is not as early as Snowball, but begins to ripen before 
the first of October from plants set out in June. 
Some of our friends who do not like ordinary cauliflower think that 
our Purple cauliflower is delicious. Try some of it this year. We know 
you will like it.

starting the plants under glass in March and transplanting to the garden 
when the soil becomes warm. They must be given a good supply of mois- 
ture and a very fertile soil to do well. 
With either early or late plantings, great care must be taken that the 
plants do not become checked in growth as that will cause them to head 
prematurely. For small gardens it is often better to buy plants. See 
page 74.

340 SNOWBALL. Perfected Strain. The Best Cauliflower. 

This is without doubt the best all around cauli- 
flower for home gardeners as well as market growers. Our strain con- 
sistently produces the finest and whitest heads of cauliflower we have 
ever seen, and it heads more surely than any other kind. 
The heads are all excellent, perfectly uniform and of the very best 
quality. They are beautiful in appearance, deep and heavy, compact 
and snow white, and they are well protected by an abundance of long 
jacket leaves close around the head. 
Snowball is a medium early variety and is also the best for late and 
main crop. Under all conditions of soil and weather, it is the best and 
most reliable kind to grow. Our customers tell us there is no better 
strain available at any price.

343 SNOWDRIFT. Also called White Mountain and Improved 
Holland Erfurt. Noted for its extremely white heads. The heads are 
large, deep and with a fine tight curd. The plants are sturdy with large 
leaves that cover the heads exceptionally well. Matures at the same 
time as Snowball. This is a very reliable variety and is popular in 
many sections. We have a very true stock.
