German, Blumen-Kohl.— French, Choufleur.— Spanish, Coliflor. 1 oz. for 1,000 plants. 

 Anv soil that will grow Cabbage will grow Cauliflower; extra manuring and preparation of the soil will be well repaid. The seeds may be sown in September and 

 the Dlants wintered over in the same manner as described for early Cabbage. Where this is not practicable it may be had just as well by sowing the seeds in the hot-bed 

 in January or February and transplanting the plants at two or three inches apart in boxes or in the soil of another hot-bed until such time as they are safe to be plautea 

 in the open ground which in this latitude is usually from the 15th of March to the 10th of April. If properly hardened off they are Beldom injured by planting out 

 too early. For second early and late crop sow at the same date as given in the directions for Cabbage crop. For further information, if for private use, see our worn 

 "Gardening for Pleasure"; if for market, see the new edition of "Gardening for Profit."

HENDERSON'S EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 



THE EARLIEST. THE SUREST HEADER. THE MOST PROFITABLE. 



THE BEST SZKRIETY F=OF2 EITHER MHRKET OH F=H2UEII-Y GARDENS. 



SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER.— It is hardly necessary for us to describe this variety at all, as its name has now become a 

 household word wherever this delicious vegetable is grown. SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER is the standard everywhere for 

 quality with the seedsman, the market gardener, and the amateur. While originally recommended and used as an early 

 variety, it has not only supplanted all other sorts for early spring planting, but it is rapidly driving out the large late sorts for 

 fall use, being much finer in quality, and the only Cauliflower that is absolutely certain to head when the conditions are right, 

 forming a perfect snow-white head, averaging nine inches in diameter. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER is superior to all others. It is the earliest of all Cauliflowers. Its 

 close-growing, compact habit enables one-third more to be planted on the same space of ground than can be done with any other 

 variety. 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. (See cut.) 25c. 

 pkt., $4.00 oz., $14.00 M lb., $48.00 lb. 



EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT. Until the introduction 

 of our Early Snowball this was considered the best early variety. 

 It is line for forcing and equally valuable in the open ground. 

 The plants are dwarf and compact and seldom fail to form a 

 good-sized head. 15c. pkt., S3.00 oz., $10.00 34 lb. 



VEITCH'S AUTUMN GIANT. A large sort that succeeds 

 well in the Southern States. 5c. pkt., 60c. oz., $1.75 J^ lb. 



EXTRA EARLY PARIS. The leaves being large, it is not so 

 desirable for forcing, but is valuable for outdoor culture. 5c. 

 pkt., 80c. oz., $2.75 % lb. 



LARGE LATE ALGIERS. This is one of the best late varieties. 

 It is largely grown for Fall use, never failing to produce large, 

 fine heads. Very popular with market gardeners and canners.
