HENDERSON S EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 



!<&iiy $nowb&ll 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. It is the earliest of all Cauliflowers. Sown at same time and under same conditions with 

 ten other kinds, on the first of March, last year, we 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 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.
