 seeds sown in fall, and which head during- December and January. 



Extra Early Paris, the earliest variety, heads small, very tender. 



Half Early Paris. The most popular in the New Orleans mar- 

 ket. Heads of good size, white and compact. 



Large Asiatic Cauliflower. 



Earg^e Asiatic is similiar to the above, but grows stronger, and 

 is hardier. Quite a favorite variety with those who know it. 



Early Erfurt. This variety is of a more dwarfish growth than 

 the two former. Heads white and of good size. Heads with certainty. 



Lie Normands short stemmed Cauliflower. 

 Ee IVoriiiands, 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, as it is an 

 excellent variety in every respect.
