Johnson & Stokes' Early 

 Alabaster Canlifloi er 



This is the 

 earUest and the 

 finest cauli- 

 flower in the 

 world, and it is 

 so pronounced 

 by all growers 

 who have had 

 it. It is of very 

 dwarf, erect 

 habit, withshort 

 outer leaves. It 

 can be planted 

 less than two 

 feet apart each 

 way. It is a 

 sure header, every plant form- 

 ing a large, solid, perfect head, of 

 remarkably pure M'hite color, of the 

 finest table quality. Our seed of 

 the Early Alabaster is Amer- 

 ican grown, thoroughly accli- 

 mated, and from it a ci'op of cauli- 

 flower can be grown as easily as a 

 crop of cabbage, and with greater 

 profit. Pkt., 2oc.; opkts., $1.00; 

 i oz., S2.50 ; oz., $5.00 ; i lb., $16.00.
