 is grown from seed sown outdoors about

 famous Snowball — good form, good size, great 

 depth, and above all, a beautiful snow-white, 

 firm head free from riciness or leafiness. The 

 plant is sturdy and the foliage of fine con- 

 formation, the inner leaves being incurved 

 and giving ample protection to the develop- 

 ing flower. PRIMOSNOW is the earliest 

 high-quality cauliflower that has ever been 

 developed. It is ready to cut fully 8 to 10 

 days before Snowball. 55 days. Pkt 50c;
