Seed Company; Seeds; Flowers; Seeds; Vegetables; Seeds; Seed industry and trade; Seed industry and trade. SEEDS WHICH SUCCEED Nine Cauliflowers. Either Moisture, High Latitude or Altitude Assures Success. One-half Ounce of Seed to lOo Yards of Row, This delicious plant, like JBroccoli and French Artichoke, is distinguished from other table vegetables by producing edible flower heads. By long years of selection and culture of some accidental natural variation of this plant of the Cabbage family, discovered in the Middle Ages, the flowers of the Cauliflower have been, to a large extent, rendered abortive, and the flower stems multiplied, shortened and thickened till they have been bred to form a half-globular compact crown or head which when cooked is tender as marrow, and the choicest of all esculent vegej,ables. Varying with climatic and soil conditions, the seed is sown at all seasons—in hotbeds at close of Winter, out of doors when the Apple is in bloom, again when the Oak is in full leaf, again at Midsummer, and again during Winter under glass. The young plants are treated the same as Cab- bage, and the larger plants require the same rich fertilization and culture—indeed more intense culture, as only those Cauli- flowers are good which are grown quickly. We offer only seed of the highest quality. The early varieties are most likely to succeed in the hands of inexperienced growers. Sow the early sorts in seedbeds beginning of Autumn, keep them in a "cold frame," protected by sash from seA^ere frost during the Winter, and transplsint into deep and very rich ground as soon as frost ceases. Hand glasses or boxes placed over them at night when they are put out are useful. It should be observed, however, that success is very uncertain in dry localities. In Pennsylvania the Cauliflower seldom heads well
