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 11% 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 beauti- 
ful 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. e

343 SNOWDRIFT. Also called White 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.

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

more tender, with-a delicate appetizing flavor.

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 vigorous, the best and most dependable of this famous variety.

333; NEW EARLY:PURPLE:HEAD, then Moss) Delicious 
Cauliflower. Since this 
remarkably delicious vegetable is not solid enough for shipping, it is 
still not as widely known as its quality deserves— but it should be 
in every home garden. We can assure you it will be worth your while 
to grow. 
The heads grow very large and are deep purple on top but turn 
green when cooked. It somewhat resembles Broccoli in flavor but 
it is even more delicious. For quick freezing it is perfect. 
Very easy to grow, it makes large sturdy plants, which do not 
require tying as the heads are not blanched. It begins to ripen in 
September from plants set out in June, and continues until late in the 
fall. Many people who do not like ordinary cauliflower class our 
Purple Head as one of their favorite vegetables. Try it for a real 
treat.

“Karly Purple Head Cauliflower certainly is delicious eating. It adds 
so much flavor and color in the late season. Fine for fresh vegetable salad 
bowl too!”
