Large Asiatic Cauliflower. 
Large Asiatic, similar to the above, but grows stronger, and is 
hardier. Quite a favorite variety with those who know it. 
Early Erfurt. This variety is of more dwarfish growth than 
the two former. Heads white and of good size. Heads with certainty. 
Le Normands short stemmed Cauliflower. 
Le Normands is a’ French variety, and largely cultivated here. 
It stands more dry weather than the other varieties, and has large 
and pure white heads. Not so popular as the Half Early Paris in this 
market, but there is no good reason why it should not be, a’ it is an 
excellent variety in every respect; stands the heat better than any 
other. 
Large Algiers. A French variety of the same season as the Le 
Normands, but a surer cropper. It is one of the best kinds.
