Caulicab, as a Spring Crop, This Page. 
*Caulicab 
After years of selection we originated 
and offered this entirely new type of 
vegetable in 1949. It is the beginning of 
a new race. When planted in the Spring 
along with the first early cabbage it ma- 
tures solid heads in the early Fall. When 
grown this way it is distinguished by the 
large ribs running nearly to the top of 
the heads and clear through the heads. 
When planted in the late Summer they 
head the next Spring, then the mature 
heads have an outer layer of cabbage- 
like leaves, but with the main part of the 
head filled with tightly folded sprouts 
and buds of amber color. In either case 
they are very tender and sweet and ideal 
for raw salads or cooking. It is a cross 
between cabbage and Winter cauliflower. 
The flavor is different from either and 
is very mild. The cross includes St. Val- 
entine Spring cauliflower and results in 
the most vigorous growth. Plants often 
stand 3 feet tall with large, long leaves, 
inclined to curl and twist. They will 
stand cold weather down to 10 above 
zero. It is claimed by customers that it 
does not cause gas like cabbage or cauli- 
flower. Even if the heads burst in the 
Spring and become green they are su- 
perior to green broccoli, being milder 
and more tender. A very nutritious vege- 
table. In those parts of the nation where 
cabbage will not stand through the Win- 
ter, without severe damage, it should be 
transplanted in the Spring when early 
cabbage plants are set out. We have good 
reports on Caulicab from all sections of 
the U. S. It deserves a good trial by all 
gardeners. Postpaid. Pkt. 25c; 4 0z. $1.25; 
0Z. $3.50; 144 Ib. $10.00; Ib. $30.00.
