Johnson & Stokes' Early 

 Alabaster Cauliflower. 



We confidently recommend this 

 as both the earliest and the finest 

 cauliflower in the world ; and 

 it is so pronounced by all 

 growers who have had it. It 

 is of very dwarf, erect habit, 

 with short outer 

 leaves. It can be 

 planted less than 

 two feet apart each 

 way. It is a sure 

 header.every plant 

 forming a large, 

 solid, perfect head, 

 of remarkably pure 

 white color, of the 

 finest table quality. 

 All market and family gardeners 

 who have failed in growing this de- 

 licious vegetable may rest assured 

 that the trouble has come from 

 either inferior or imported unaccli- 

 mated seed ; and they should bear 

 in mind that our seed of the Early- 

 Alabaster is American grown, 

 and from it a crop of cauliflower 

 can be grown as easily as a crop of 

 cabbage, and with greater profit, as 

 one ounce of cauliflower seed will 

 produce about 2,500 plants, the crop 

 of which would usually bring in 

 this market ^300 to I400. Pkt.,
