All Seasons
Probably a cross between Algiers and Early Snowball. This is the only snowball type that is free from foolheads which result from standing in the plant bed too long. It is also more free from root maggot injury than other snowball sorts, and is the best sort for growing in the summer as it withstands heat exceptionally well. This is ideal for plant growers on account of its unusual vitality. Pkt., 15c; ¼ oz., 50c; oz., $1.75; ¼ lb., $5.00; lb., $16.00

Danish Giant Dry Weather
The best sort for September markets. Extremely hardy and will withstand dry weather better than other sorts. The large, pure white heads are heavy and compact. They mature through a long season and when ready stand for several days without spreading. The leaves are quite tall and somewhat self protecting. For early fall use, plant the seed about April 15th and transplant about July 1st to 10th. The seed can also be planted June 1st to 10th and transplanted July 20th to 25th. They will then mature in October and November. Pkt., 15c; ¼ oz., 70c; oz., $2.25; ¼ lb., $7.00; lb., $25.00

Giant Easy Blanching
This is now recognized by market gardeners as the leading cauliflower and over four hundred acres of this variety were planted in the Northwest last year from our seed. The large, solid, pure white heads are produced near the ground on short stems but the leaves are extra long, while the inner leaves fold closely about the head making them almost self protecting. This self protecting habit insures a greater number of first grade heads and the long leaves protect the heads in hauling or crating. The plants have strong vitality and are unusually free from disease. Practically every plant makes a fine head. For fall cutting sow the same as Gilt Edge. Tests for three years prove this sort especially valuable for early spring cutting. Pkt., 20c; ¼ oz., $1.00; oz., $3.00; ¼ lb., $9.00; lb., $32.00

Gilt Edge, or Mt. Hood Snowball
Similar to Burpee's Best Early, but larger and produces heavier heads. The flower is quite smooth and regular and pure white when bleached. For fall use (October cutting) plant the seed June 1st to 10th and transplant July 15th to 25th. This variety is popular with many large growers. Pkt., 20c; ¼ oz., 90c; oz., $2.75; ¼ lb., $8.50; lb., $30.00

Iceberg Snowball
Our tests for two seasons proved this to be the finest Snowball strain we have yet seen. It is exceptionally white, producing smooth, round flat heads of even maturity. It is very early and produces a high percentage of number one grade heads. The foliage is quite tall and affords fine head protection. Pkt., 20c; oz., $2.75; ¼ lb., $7.50; lb., $28.00

Veitch's Autumn Giant
A hardy, tall-growing cauliflower, making extra large, white heads. The leaves are dark green, and being extra long can easily be broken over the heads to protect them. It stands handling and shipping better than other varieties. Remarkably vigorous and thrifty. For late cauliflower, season of November and December, sow seed in open bed May 1st, transplant July 1st to 15th. Pkt., 15c; ½ oz., 65c; oz., $1.00; ¼ lb., $3.50; lb., $10.00
