HENDERSON'S EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 
HENDERSON’S 
Early Snowball Cauliflower. 
With the single exception, perhaps, of our Early Summer Cabbage, no new thing in either 
seeds or plants that we have ever offered has given such general satisfaction as this EARLY 
SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. The testimony we offered in previous years, and which we are 
continually receiving, confirming our opinion of it, is all the more gratifying when it is considered 
that these letters are from men nearly all of whom are largely engaged in growing vegetables for 
market. Jt is the earliest of all Cauliflowers. Sown year after year at the same time and under the 
same conditions with ten other kinds, on the first of March,we have had heads of the Early Snowball, 
measuring nine inches in diameter, ready by 10th June—about one week earlier than any other sort. 
Besides, of this variety, every plant formed a fine head; in addition to its earliness and greater 
certainty to head than any other sort, its dwarf habit and short outer leaves allow it to be planted as 
close as 18 or 20 inches apart each way, so that from 12,000 to 14,000 can be set out on an acre. 
For forcing under glass during winter and spring, this Early Snowball variety is peculiarly 
well adapted, from its dwarf growth and short outer leaves, and for this purpose no other Cauliflower 
is now so largely grown. 
It may be added that this variety does equally well for late planting.
