Incomparably the Best for Spring or 

 Fall Crops. An Excellent Forcer. It 

 Has Won More Prizes Than Any Other 

 Variety in Cultivation. 



The Genuine Is Obtainable Only Direct From Us 



Beyond all question, Henderson's Snowball is the one perfect 

 Cauliflower for the American gardener. In most sections of the 

 United States the best and most satisfactory crop is grown from 

 seed sown outdoors about May 20th and transplanted during July, 

 so that the plants make their best growth during the cooler months. 

 For this crop, Henderson's Snowball is unsurpassed. 



Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower, grown from seed sown 

 under glass in February and transplanted after frost, will produce 

 perfect heads of snowy whiteness in the open ground by June 1st. 

 There is none to equal it in value for forcing under glass for a 

 winter crop, for which it is especially adapted by reason of its 

 compact, upright habit, quick growth, and sure-heading quality. 

 For all purposes and at all seasons it has become indispensable, 

 owing to its reliability in heading, its strong, vigorous habit, and 

 the whiteness of its perfectly formed flowers. It is, without doubt, 

 the ideal Cauliflower, perfect in size, in reliability, in color, and in 

 quality. Ready about 65 days from plant setting. 



Price, pkt., 35c; Y% oz., $3.25; oz., $6.00. 



327 SUPER SNOWBALL 



This is an extra early strain of the Snowball type. Besides being 

 extra early, the heads of "flowers" mature with greater uniformity, 

 making it possible to harvest a large percentage of the crop in 

 the first cutting. 



The plants are vigorous and strong. The leaves, especially the 

 inner ones, are well folded or curled over the heads. The heads 

 are large, uniform in size, deep, and solid. They mature early and 

 many times the entire crop is harvested before any heads of the 

 later types are ready. One of the most profitable varieties for 

 market. Season 55 days. 



Price, pkt., 35c; Y 2 oz., $3.50; oz., $6.50. 



•At Recommended for Quick Freezing 



The Earliest Quality Cauliflower Ever Offered 



This is an ideal type. It possesses many of the characteristics 

 of our famous Snowball- — -good form, good size, great depth, and 

 above all, a beautiful snow-white, firm head free from ricyness 

 or leafiness. The plant is sturdy; the foliage. of fine conformation, 

 the inner leaves being incurved, give ample protection to the 

 developing flower. Primosnow is the earliest high-quality cauli- 

 flower that has ever been developed. It is ready to cut fully 8 

 to 10 days before Snowball. Season 55 days. 

 Price, pkt.. 50c; V 2 oz., $3.50; oz., $6.50. 



326 SNOW KING 



Produces Fine Medium-Sized Heads on Poor 

 Land Where Tender Varieties Fail 



It is now possible for the small garden owner to grow excellent 

 Cauliflower even in back yards and small gardens where soil 

 • conditions are none too good. Snow King possesses many val- 

 uable characteristics, one of the most important of these is its 

 Hardiness. It is also a winner because of its Earliness. 



Snow King will also be enjoyed because of its delicious flavor, 

 its creamy whiteness, and prove to be an invaluable addition to 

 the dietary because of its high vitamin content. The very dark 

 green leaves, shorter than those of most Cauliflowers, are strongly 

 ribbed, which is a sure indication of the hardiness of the plant, 

 and its ability to survive very trying conditions. They curl in 

 at the top, thus protecting the young heads. Season 62 days. 



Price, pkt., 25c. 



Beware of imitations. We have always controlled Hender- 

 son's Snowball Cauliflower and unless the seed is bought 

 directly from us you do not get the genuine, as we do not 

 supply it to dealers. PETER HENDERSON & CO.,
