variety, say in 189]: "The history of our Model 

 cauliflower we can give you in a few words: We 

 have for several years been testing cauliflower seed 

 fi'om as many growers as possible, in order to secure 

 a variety which we could identify with our name. 

 We have never been fully satisfied until two years 

 ago, when we received from a foreign grower a 

 sample for trial. Upon testing this seed in our ex- 

 perimental grounds we found it so desirable that 

 we arranged for the stock we are now selling, and 

 which gives excellent satisfaction wherever grown. 

 There are other varieties which produce as good 

 heads and as early, but in our growths of this sort 

 we have found a larger proportion of large, white, 

 perfect heads than in any other strains we have 

 tested." 



Mohawk White Cap (Nellis). — *' Rather larger 

 and later than Early [Extra Early] Erfurt and 

 seems to be identical with Snowball from the same 

 firm."— (Ohio Exp. Station, 1889) 



Mt. Blanc. — Said by Buist, in 1890, to be one of 

 the largest and finest for forcing, or the general 

 crop. Stem medium; heads large, snow-white, 

 well protected by the leaves, and of delicate flavor. 



At the Oregon experiment station, in 1890, 

 Carter's Mt. Blanc resembled Perfection in growth, 

 but had somewhat larger heads.
