Le Normaiids is a Frencli 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, as 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.

Early Italian Giant Cauliflower. 



Early Italian Giant. Very large fine sort, not quite so 

 late as the late Italian, and almost as large. The heads are quite 

 large, white and compact, and of delicious flavor. Eecommend it 

 to all who have not tried it. When sown at the proper season it 

 will head with certainty, and will not fail to give satisfaction. 



Late Italian Giant. This is the largest of all the Cauli- 

 flowers. It is grown to a considerable extent in the neighborhood 

 of JS'ew Orleans, It is very large and compact ; shoiild not be 

 sown later than June, as it takes from seven to nine months be- 

 fore it heads. * 



Imperial. (Xew.) A. variety from France very similar to 

 the Le ^^ormands, perhaps a little earlier. 



Xon Plus Ultra. A new Italian variety four weeks earlier 

 than the Early Itaiian Giant. Very highly recommended.
