Keep them well hoed, and bring the earth gradually up to their sterns, watering freely in dry weather, and especially when they begin to head. The Cauliflower succeeds best when planted in frames at the close of winter and brought to maturity before the sum- mer heat sets in. The late varieties mature in the autumn^ and are sown and mnnaged similar to winter cabbage. DREER'S Earliest Snowstorm. (See cut.) We have given this variety much and attention, and the- unifoimlv good results received by growers using our '• Snowstorm' convince us that we have the very V)est and earliest strain of Cauliflower on the market^ both for forcing and for growing in the open ground. It has been used by our customers in different sections,, and the report is alike from each : ^'The best they ever grew.' It is a dwarf variety, with short outer leaves,, and can be planted close, 2 feet apart each way. It always makes a fine, large and exceedingly beautiful snowy- vliite head, much earlier than any other variety. Pkt., 25 i DREER'S Selected Dwarf Erfurt. One of the earliest m cultivation ; small-leaved dwarf, for forcing or open ground^ producing very solid pure white heads of the finest quality. It grows about 16 inches high, and in ordinary seasons every plant will produce a marketable head. For an all-round mar- ket gardener's variety, we consider this the best for general outside use. Pk
