PETER HENDERSON & CO.'S VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 



HKNDKRSON'S 



"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 grow- 

 ing vegetables for market. It is the earliest of all Cauliflowers. Sown year after year at 

 the same time and under the same conditions with ten other kinds, on the first of March, we 

 have 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 Early Snowball variety is peculiarly 

 well adapted, from its dwarf growth and short outer leaves, and for this purpose no other Cauli- 

 flower is now so largely grown. 



It may be added that this variety does equally well for late planting. 

 30 cents per packet ; $1.60 per quarter ounce; $5.00 per ounce.
