CAUL. I FLOWER, 



German, Blumen-Kohl. — French, Choufieur. — Spanish, Coliflor. 1 oz. for 1 ,000 plants. 

 Any soil that will grow Cabbage will grow Cauliflower : extra manuring and preparation of the soil will be well repaid. The seeds may be bowb In September and 

 wintered over in the same manner as described for early Cabbage. Where this is not practicable it may be had just as well by sowing the seeds in the hot-bed in January 

 Or February, and transplanting the plants at two or three inches apart in boxes or in the soil of another hot-bed until such time as they are safe to be planted in the open 

 ground, which in this latitude is usually from the 15th of March to the 10th of April. If properly hardened oft they are seldom injured by planting out loo early. Fo» 

 -second early and late crop sow at same date as given in the directions for Cabbage crop. For further information, it for private use, see our work "Gardening for Pleas- 

 ore"; if for market, see the new edition of " Gardening for Profit"

THE EA RUES T. THE SUREST HEADER. THE MOST PROFITABLE. 

 THE BEST VARIETY FOR EITHER MARKET OR FAMILY GARDENS . 



Tl|HETHER intended for private use or to be grown for market, Henderson's Early Snowball Cauliflower is superior 

 W to all others. -First, because it is the earliest of all Cauliflowers, as has been conclusively shown season after season, 

 ** since we first made its merits knovm ; second, because under the conditions" of an ordinarily favorable season, nearly every, 

 plant will form a perfect snow-white head, averaging nine inches in diameter; third, for the reason that its close-growing, com- 

 pact habit enables one-third more to be planted on the same space of ground than can be done with any other variety. For forcing under 

 glass during winter and spring, this Early Snowball variety is peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf growth, and short outer 

 leaves, and for this purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely grown. It also does equally well for late planting, (See Cut.) 

 .EXTRA EARLY DWARP ERFURT. Until the in- 



troductlon of our early Snowball this was considered 



the best early variety. It is fine for forcing and equally 



valuable in the open ground. The plants being dwarf 



and compact may be planted close together and seldom 



fail to form a good-siz^d head. 20 cts. pkt., S3.50 oz., 



$12.00^ lb. _ ' . 



EXTRA EARLY PARIS. A favorite French variety 



remarkable for its reliability in headinp. The leaves 



being larger, it cannot be planted quite so close as the 



Erfurt, and is, therefore, not so desirable for forcing, 



though it is eqaally valuable for outdoor culture. 15c. 



pkt., $1.00 oz., $3.50 J£lb., $12.00 lb. • : 



LARGE LATE ALGIERS. This is among late what 



Snowball is among early Cauliflowers, " absolutely the 



best." It is now nearly exclusively grown for fall use, 



never failing to produce large, fine heads. Very popular 



with market gardeners and canners. 15 cts. pkt., S1.00 



oz., $3.00 14 lb.. $10.00 lb. 

 VEITCHS AUTUMN GIANT. A late sort that seems 



to do particularly well in the Southern States. 10 «tc 



pkt., 60 cts. oz., S2.00 1£ lb., $7.50 lb. 



25 cts. pkt; $4.00 oz.. $14.00 % lb.
