Any 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 plants 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 m 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 planted 

 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 seldom injured by planting out toe 

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

 " Gardening for Pleasure "; if for market, see our " Gardening for Profit." .

' Early 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 sup- 

 planted all other sorts for early spring planting, but it has largely driven 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 groi*ad 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 % lb., $48.00 lb.
