"Dry Weather" — Extra Selected. 



Comes in about three -«veek8 later than onr Selected Early 

 Snowball. Heads larger and firmer. 



Our stock of this grand Cauliflower cannot be surpassed. 

 For packers and pickle growers it has no equal, yielding, as 

 it does, immense, solid heads, many of which weigh over ten 

 pounds each of solid flower. 



Every plant produces a head, many of them so large that 

 three flll a bushel basket and all perfectly solid. As the name 

 "Dry Weather" implies, this variety possesses to a marked 

 degree the ability to resist without deterioration extremely 

 droughty conditions such as have been experienced during re- 

 cent seasons. Because of this constitutional hardiness many 

 growers, especially those in the dryer, hotter sections, pin 

 their faith to this flne sort as against all other varieties.

EXTRA EARLY SNOWBALL OR DANISH PERFECTIOIV 



This new strain, introduced about 5 years ago by one 

 of the leading Cauliflow^er seed growers of Denmark, 

 possesses all the good qualities of the best Early Snow- 

 ball strains and in addition has shown an unusual uni- 

 formity in maturing, the crops being taken ofC clean at 

 practically the first cutting. The leaves, very closely 

 enfolding the head, give it a particularly attractive ap- 

 pearance Tvhen displayed for sale, and as the inner 

 leaves almost cover the snow^-white flower the neces- 

 sity of early tying up as in the case of other early 

 sorts is largely avoided. It is the earliest strain of its 

 type and recommended for extra early marketing.

 in a fit condition. For late planting the Seed should

EARLY SNOWBALL— Extra selected.

market gardener and tracker's use, and the

head and remain pure and white when 



others are discolored and unsalable. 



The heads measure eight to ten 



inches across Trhen grow-n 



in good soil. 



The Seed we offer is of very superior quality 

 and is grown for us by one of the most re- 

 liable Cauliflower growers in Europe, and 

 the great care taken to keep it up to the 

 highest standard is manifested in the superi- 

 ority of the crops grown from it every year. 

 It is of dwarf, compact habit, heads very 

 large and pure white. % pkt. 15c; pkt. 2oc;
