THE CAULIFLOWER ON PUGET SOUND. 159 



LARGE WHITE FRENCH. A fine large white va-

 Vilmorin calls it half -early.

LATE DUTCH (Large Late Dutch}. Sold by sev- 

 eral American seedmen. Probably distinct from 

 Early Dutch. 



LATE LENORMAND SHORT -STEM, see Lenormand 

 Short- stem. 



LATE LONDON (Burpee and Ferry). No descrip-
