A field of Snowball “X” Cauliflower for seed production on one of our 
California ranches. 
CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower, because of its special requirements as to soil and climate, has heretofore been 
considered a seed crop which only some of the European countries could produce. Several 
years ago we started on a program of experimentation and development looking forward to 
the production of Cauliflower seed in this country, and we now offer seed of our own production 
which has proved as satisfactory in every respect as that formerly imported. 
We believe that both the early maturing and main crop strains we offer will be found 
well adapted for the production of Cauliflower in the various sections of this country and 
we offer them to our customers with the fullest confidence that they will give excellent 
satisfaction. 
We have indicated the number of days commonly required to produce heads, from the 
date the young plants are set in the field. Usually it is 30 to 35 days from the time seed is 
sown until the young plants are ready for the open field.
