Burpee's Best-Early Cauliflower Cauliflower
The earliest and best quick-growing cauliflower. This grand strain was first introduced by us from the Island of Amager, Denmark, twenty-nine years ago (in 1887), and has fully maintained all the merits then claimed for it. The plants are of strong growth, with erect pointed dark-green leaves growing closely above the head. It is remarkable for both the extreme earliness and the certainty with which the plants produce fine heads. In good soil the heads measure eight to ten inches across; they are a pure snowy white, with very close compact curd of extra fine quality. So extremely solid and deep are the nearly globe-shaped heads that they weigh heavier than other heads of equal size. Experienced growers are most enthusiastic in stating that this is beyond doubt, all its name implies - “The BEST-EARLY Cauliflower.” half-size pkt., 15c; pkt., 25c; ¼ oz.,75c; oz., $2.75; ¼ lb., $10.00
Originally listed in: Burpee's Annual for 1916
