growth early in spring for greens. The leaves are 
broad, strapleaf, turnip type. It grows 18 to 22 
inches tall before going to seed.

planted in the spring, as it will not winter over. It is 
an annual and shoots to seed very rapidly. 
Cauliflower 
CuutureE. For an early crop sow indoors from February 
15 to March 15. Harden off and set outside as soon as 
ground can be worked. For the late or autumn crop sow 
seed in May or early June in specially prepared seed bed 
and transplant to field in late June or early July. Set 
plants 2 feet apart in rows 3 feet apart. After heads begin 
to form, leaves should be tied to protect heads from rain 
and sun and to keep them white. 1 oz. will produce 4000 
plants; 2 ozs. enough for an acre. 
SUPER SNOWBALL. 55 days. An early main- 
crop variety that is so named because of its uniform 
production of beautiful heads. One of the most 
profitable strains for market gardeners and shippers. 
The plants are dwarf, compact, upright; inner leaves 
curl over the head. Heads are 64% to 71% inches 
across, deep, solid and uniform. Snowy white, of 
superb quality for canning and freezing.

height with rather waved and crumpled leaves 
which bend outward at the tips. Inner leaves 
cover the head wel. Foliage is medium green. 
Heads of good depth, solid, ivory-white, and of 
fine quality. Early and very even in time of ma- 
turity. Adapted for summer and early fall harvest 
and used in districts having a short growing season. 
SNOWDRIFT SPECIAL (WHITE MOUNTAIN). 
57 days. A vigorous strain of Snowball with medium 
green outer leaves; inner leaves give good protection 
to large, firm, solid, white head. An excellent va- 
riety for long-distance shipping. Unsurpassed for 
either the home garden or the critical market grower. 
Brussels Sprouts 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED HALF DWARF. 
90 days. This strain produces dwarf, compact,
