“The Forbes.” This fine outstanding 
variety far surpasses any other for 
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 m suc- 
cession. It excels all Snowball and 
Erfurt Cauliflowers for vigor and 
freedom from disease and produces

Longfellow. Long, slender, dark green 
fruits that look like fmne-quality hot- 
house Cucumbers. They are perfect 
when 10 inches long and 2 inches 
across, and when mature are 12 to 
14 by 214 to 234 inches. This is 
very popular as the fruits are very 
smooth, evenly surfaced, and almost 
entirely colored with very dark green. 
They are ideal at mid-size for packing 
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 fine protection. The leaves are broad, somewhat 
crumpled, and without any bare stem. The inner leaves 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 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 fine 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. You will find 
Forbes Reliance one of the best for main crop. 
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 fine texture, have great depth, with no “riciness” 
or interleaves. The foliage is medium-sized, with inner leaves which fully protect 
the head until nearly mature. The main crop will be ready m 120 days. 
Early Snowball, Forbes Strain. An extra-early variety, but it has displaced many 
of the large late sorts for fall use. It is of fine quality and produces snow-white 
heads, averaging 8 to 10 inches in diameter. Jt 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. 
For prices on above and other varieties not described, see opposite 

in fancy flat boxes and retain their dark 
green when shipped to distant markets. 
The vines are quite productive.

Forbes” Cauliflower Colorado. A beautiful, long, slender, very dark green white spine bringing a pre- 
mium on critical markets. The fruits, 10 by 214 inches and weighing 2 pounds, 
are inclined to taper, especially at the stem end. The vigorous, productive vines 
are highly resistant to unfavorable growing conditions and form fruits in about 
60 days. Holds its intense dark color longer than any other. 
Cubit. All America Winner. A prolific, white-spined main crop variety with cylin- 
drical, blunt-ended, smooth, 10-inch fruits with small seed cavity, maturing in 
about 60 days. The fruit holds the dark green color and ships well. 
Marketer. All-America Winner. In about 65 days the very vigorous prolific vines 
will yield a heavy crop of uniform fruits, about 8 by 214 inches and slightly tapered 
at each end. They are colored a very dark green which carries right down to 
the blossom end. Any fruit missed at one picking will still be good at the next. 
Straight-8. The prolific vines yield a surprisingly large number of straight, smooth, 
cylindrical fruits, 8 by 134 inches, with rather blunt-rounded ends. They are 
deep green with slight green rays at the blossom end but free from objectionable 
striping or tipping. It is ideal for shipping but equally desirable for local market.
