CAULIFLOWER 
A packet will produce about 150 plants, an ounce 1500 to 2000 in open ground or about 3000 in frames. 
Except where the summers are cool, cauliflower is best grown as a fall 
crop. Sow the seed outdoors in late spring and transplant to rich moist 
soil in early July. Space the plants 1% to 2 ft. apart in 3 ft. rows. Ex- 
perienced growers get good early crops by starting the plants indoors in 
March, and giving them extra care in the field. Do not allow the plants 
to be checked in growth or they will head prematurely. 
On page 74 we offer transplanted green-house grown plants, ready 
between April 25 and May 15. 
340 SNOWBALL. Perfected Strain. The Best Cauliflower. 
This is without doubt the best all around 
cauliflower for home gardeners as well as market growers. Our strain 
consistently produces the finest and whitest heads of cauliflower we 
have even seen, and it heads more surely than any other kind. 
The heads are all excellent, perfectly uniform and the thick curds 
are of very best quality for table use and freezing. They are beautiful 
in appearance, deep and heavy, compact and snow white, and they are 
well protected by plenty 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. White 

Also called Mountain and Improved 
Holland Erfurt. An excellent variety, noted for its extremely white 
heads. The large leaves protect the heads well and the curd is tight, 
deep and of fine quality. Matures about the same time as Snowball but 
comes on more nearly at one time. Our strain has won great favor with 
many growers and we highly recommend it.

CELERIAC 
Turnip Rooted or “‘Knob”’ Celery 
Very delicious in the fall and winter and should be in every home 
garden. It is easy to grow, requires no blanching and produces large bulb- 
like roots with a pleasant nut-like celery flavor. Try them cubed, boiled 
and served with a cream sauce, or in soups and stews. 
350 DELICACY. Very Delicious. Best for Home Gardens. Delicacy 
produces nice round bulbs, not quite as big as the Large Prague, but 
the quality is superior. The “knobs” mature earlier and they are more 
tender, with a delicate appetizing flavor.

market appearance. Our strain is exceptionalfy fine.

Snowball, Perfected Strain 
We believe there is no finer cauliflower than this, 
345 SUPER SNOWBALL. Large, Very Early Cauliflower. The big 
broad heads ripen nearly all at one time, ahead of Snowball and when 
properly grown, they produce large yields of fine white cauliflower 
very early in the season. Super Snowball should be grown on good 
fertile soil with adequate moisture for the best crops, and it has proved 
highly profitable for many expert growers. Our strain is large and vigor- 
ous, the best and most dependable of this famous variety.

ALL OUR CAULIFLOWER SEED IS HOT WATER TREATED 
Hot Water Treatment checks losses from seed borne disease, 
gives you better crops. 

333 NEW EARLY PURPLE HEAD. The Most Delicious 
Cauliflower. Of more 
delicate flavor than Broccoli and generally considered far superior in 
quality to the regular white 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 even more 
delectable to eat. For quick freezing, it is perfect. 
Purple cauliflower is by far the easiest to grow. The plants are large 
and robust, and they do not require tying as the heads are not 
blanched. This is not as early as Snowball, but begins to ripen in 
September from plants set out in June. Some of our friends who do not 
like ordinary cauliflower think that our Purple cauliflower is delicious. 
If you haven't tried it, do so; you have a real treat coming. 
Pkt. 25c; 144 Oz. 95e; 4% Oz. $1.85; Oz. $3.20. 



“Am writing you about your Purple Head Cauliflower, we are amazed al 
both the size and delectable quality of same, far superior to either Broccoli or 
common garden Cauliflower when used fresh, and we think tt just aboul 
perfection itself for quick freezing.”
