CAULIFLOWER 
Cauliflower seed, formerly produced exclusively in Europe, is now also satisfactorily 
grown in this country. The seed is in every way comparable to foreign grown stocks. 
We offer both early maturing and main crop strains of excellent quality. 
The number of days shown indicates the time required to develop marketable heads 
from the setting of plants to open field. 
Snowball No. 16 65 days 
Plant—Dwarf, compact in growth, up- 
right, long medium green leaves giving 
good coverage of the head. 
Heads—Large, smooth, pure white, 
slightly curved, deep, free from leaflets, 
about 6% inches in diameter, weight 
about 2 pounds. 
Most satisfactory strain for main crop 
fall harvest. Widely accepted for home 
and market garden. 
Snowdrift 65 days 
Plant—A more vigorous strain of Snow- 
ball, leaves medium green, tall, erect, 
giving good coverage. 
Heads—Similar to Snowball No. 16, heads 
large and deep, about 7 inches diameter, 
2 pounds, pure white. 
Very similar to Snowball No. 16, except 
matures more evenly. Popular for both 
home and market garden. 
Super-Snowball 52 days 
Plant—More dwarf and less upright than 
Snowball, medium green leaves satis- 
factory for tying. 
Heads—About 6% inches diameter, me- 
dium deep, weight about 1% pounds, 
compact, true white. 
Desirable for home market gardening and 
freezing where earliness is first con- 
sideration. 
St. Valentine 
(Broccoli Type) 
Plant—32 
leafy. 
70 days 
inches, bluish-green, erect, 
Heads—3-5 inches in diameter, compact, 
curved, white. 
Widely grown on the West Coast as a 
winter crop, but not adapted to the 
short hot summers of the East and 
Middle West. This strain best where 
grown for March harvesting. 
CELERY 
A specialty crop grown in many localities throughout the country where soil and 
climate are adapted to its culture. Celery needs rich soil high in nitrogen and should be 
side dressed with fertilizer. 
Days indicated can only be relative as a crop so widely grown is dependent on local 
climatic factors. 
Green Varieties 
Giant Pascal 140 days 
Plant—24 inches tall, dark green foliage, 
large heart that blanches to a creamy- 
white. 
Stalk—8 inches in length, thick, solid and 
crisp with a good “nutty” flavor. 
A popular late variety for home use or 
market trade because it stores well.
