The Earliest, Largest and Surest White Header Grown 

 90 days 



Heads the list as the earliest, finest and handsomest cauli- 

 flower. Whether for forcing under glass or growing in the 

 open ground, and whether planted early or late, it is the sur- 

 est header of all, maturing its heads in about 90 days. It is 

 very dwarf and compact in habit of growth, like the Snow^ball, 

 and can be planted as close as 18 inches each way for forcing 

 or where space is limited. Maule's Prize Earliest is particu- 

 larly desirable for forcing under glass, w^hile in our open air 

 trials every plant has produced a head, excelling all other 

 varieties in earliness, size and quality; undoubtedly the finest 

 and most popular early cauliflower grown, either for the 

 home garden or market.

^ 168 Early Snowball 



Large Solid White Heads. A Sure Cropper. 95 days 



This standard variety is known ever^rwhere, either in 

 the home garden or with the market gardeners. Produces 

 large solid white heads when conditions are ordinarily favor- 

 able in about 95 days. Averages about 9 inches and often 

 attains a size of 12 inches in diameter. 



Being one of the earliest strains of cauliflower it becomes 



one of the most popular sorts, either for forcing under glass 



during winter and spring, or for planting in the open ground. 



The plants are of compact habit, which enables close planting.

* 165 Dry Weather 



Reaches Perfection When Ordinary Sorts Fail. 105 days 



This desirable strain originated in Denmark, but has been 

 fully tested in America with the most favorable results. It 

 produces a large, solid, pure white head, maturing in about 

 105 days, a little later than Maule's Prize Earliest. It is in 

 all respects a first-class Cauliflower, but is especially and 

 peculiarly adapted to dry situations and to resisting the 

 effects of drought. It will also do well in moist or wet sea- 

 sons making heads equal to any. Excellent home or market 

 sort.
