24 PETER HENDERSON & CO.—VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
CAULIFLOWER. 
German, Blumen-Kohl.—French, Choufleur.—Spanish, Coliflor. 1 oz. for 1,000 plants. 
Any soil that will grow Cabbage will grow Cauliflower; extra manuring and preparation of the soil will be wellrepaid. Theseeds may be sown in September and 
-wintered over in the same manner as described for early Cabbage. Where this is not practicable it may be had just as well by sowing the seeds in the hot-bed in January 
or February, and transplanting the plants at two or three inches apart in boxes or in the soil of another hot-bed until such time as they are safe to be planted in 
the open ground, which in this latitude is usually from the 15th of March to the 10th of April. If properly hardened off they are seldom injured by planting out too 
early. For second early and late crop sow at same date as given in the directions for Cabbage crop. For further information, if for private use, see our work ‘‘ Gardening 
for Pleasure”; if for market, see the new edition of ‘‘ Gardening for Profit.”

- Henderson's Early Snowball Cauliflower. 
THE EARLIEST. THE SUREST HEADER. THER MOST PROFITABLE. 
The Best Variety for either Market or Family Gardens. 
HETHER intended for private use or to be grown for market, Henderson’s Early Snowball Cauliflower is superior 
to all others. First, because it is the earliest of all Cauliflowers, as has been conclusively shown season after 
season, since we first made its merits known; second, because under the conditions of an ordinarily favorable season, nearly every 
plant will form a perfect snow white head, averaging nine inches in diameter; third, for the reason that its close-growing, compact 
habit enables one-third more to be planted on the same space of ground than can be done with any other variety. 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 Cauliflower is now so largely grown. It also does equally well for late planting. (See cut.)

I have given Cauliflower a very thorough test this season, planting seven varieties of expensive seed, and must frankly state that your Snowball has headed the
