CAULIFLOWER 
A packet will produce about 200 plants, an ounce about 4000 plants. 
CULTURE. For spring or early summer crop sow in March or early in April in hotbed and trans- 
plant to cold frame when sufficiently large, and to the open ground as soon as danger of hard freezing 
is over. The plants will endure a light frost. The soil for cauliflower should be like that for cabbage 
but it is better if made richer than is ordinarily used for that crop. For late crop sow at the same time 
as for late cabbage. Cauliflower heads must be protected from sunlight to obtain the desirable white 
curd. This is accomplished by gathering the tops of the leaves together loosely as soon as the heads 
begin to form. In shutting off the light, it is important not to cramp the heads. 
EARLY SNOWBALL NO. 25 CAULIFLOWER 
EARLY SNOWBALL NO. 25 
Much more uniform than our original strain of Early Snowball and earlier- 
Heads are large, very deep, firm and pure white. Plants are large, with ample 
foliage. Exceptionally fine quality. 
SNOWBALL X 
A very satisfactory strain for main crop and adaptable to a broad range of 
conditions. The large, erect plants have ample head coverage from the long, 
straight leaves. Foliage is bright medium green. Heads large, smooth, deep, 
very solid and pure white. Exceptional quality. 
SUPERBA 
A larger, earlier and better Cauliflower of the Snowball type. Heads so 
evenly that the entire crop can be harvested before ordinary varieties are 
ready. Excels all Snowball and Erfurt Cauliflower for vigor and freedom from 
disease and produces first grade No. 1 heads even under adverse growing con- 
ditions. Not for main crop plantings unless planted in succession. Produces 
beautiful, round, pure white heads with smooth, solid curds.
