CAULIFLOWE 
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. 
60-65 days. 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 ever seen, 
and it heads more surely than any other kind. 
The heads are excellent, perfectly uniform, and the thick curds are 
of very best quality for table use and freezing. They are beautiful in 
appearance: deep, heavy, compact and snow white, and are well pro- 
tected by plenty of long jacket leaves around the head. 
Snowball is a medium early variety maturing over a considerable 
period, and does well under nearly all conditions of soil and weather. 
For general use it is unsurpassed.

Snowball Imperial 
Grown by Jay Wickham, expert cauliflower grower of Stamford, N.Y. 
339 SNOWBALL IMPERIAL (New). Early. 
58 days. A brand new strain of exceptional uniformity and fine type. 
Closely resembling our famous Snowball Perfected in appearance, it is 
earlier and more uniform in maturity, a large percentage of the crop 
being ready nearly all at one time. Widespread tests with the best 
growers prove it to be an outstanding early strain of the Erfurt type. 
The deep solid snow white heads are medium-sized but heavy, 
smooth and of fine quality. The stocky plants are erect and leafy, 
protecting the heads well, and they will cut out practically 100% 
perfect heads under normal conditions. We recommend Snowball 
Imperial highly for trial by cauliflower specialists, local market growers 
and home gardeners. Pkt. 30c; 14 Oz. $1.00; 44 Oz. $1.95; Oz. $3.30. 
342 SNOWBALL 25 (New). 66 days. This selection of Snowball or Erfurt 
type is a vigorous, slightly later strain. It has proved reliable under 
adverse conditions and produces large, deep and heavy heads. Plants 
leafy and erect. Excellent in some sections and well worthy of trial. 
Pkt. 25c; 14 Oz. 95c; % Oz. $1.80; Oz. $3.00. 
333 NEW EARLY PURPLE HEAD. The Most Delicious. 
85 days. 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 garden. It will be well worth your while. 
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. 
(This seed not treated.) Pkt. 25c; 14 Oz. 95c; 144 Oz. $1.85; Oz. $3.20. 
A packet will produce about 150 plants, an ounce 1500 to 2000 
in open ground or about 3000 in frames, 
Snowball, Perfected 
The ideal general-purpose strain. 
345 SUPER SNOWBALL. Large, Very Early Cauliflower. 54 days. The 
big broad heads ripen nearly all at one time, ahead of Snowball and 
when properly grown, they produce large yields of fine white cauli- 
flower 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.

nearly at one time. Our strain has won great favor with many growers 
and we highly recommend it.
