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 

 s of very dwarf, erect habit, 

 wnth short outer 

 leaves. It can be 

 planted less than 

 two feet apart each 

 ■way. It is a sure 

 he ader, every plant 

 forming a large, 

 solid, perfect head, 

 of remarkably pure 

 white color, of the 

 finest table quality, 

 gardeners who have 

 failed in growing this delicious 

 vegetable may rest assured that 

 the trouble has come from either 

 inferior or imported unacclimated 

 seed ; and they should bear in 

 mind that our seed of the Early- 

 Alabaster is American grow-n. 

 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 1300 to $400.
