EARLIEST SNOWBALL 



/ Stokes 

 'Super-Standard 



7 Days to maturity, 95. There can be no compromise in the purchase of Cauliflower seed. 

 The possible value of the crop is such that the original cost of seed is a very minor 

 consideration. Earliest Snowball, our experience has taught us, is the most satisfactory sort for general 

 purposes in this country. W e have therefore bent our efforts to secure the very finest strain of this mag- 

 nificent Danish variety-. We offer this Super-Standard as being very early, uniformly compact, with few- 

 short outside leaves, and producing heads, which when blanched, are pure white, of rare quafity, and the 

 standard market size. The seed we are ofi'ering has just been received from our trustworthy Danish grower, 

 a man whose farms we have visited and whose methods and experience we have reason to know^ are to be 

 thoroughly trusted. We know that our strain of Earliest Snowball will prove to be all we claim for it. Price, 

 pkt. 25 cts., oz. $1.75, y4lb. $6.50, lb. $25.00, delivered. 



YOU CAN DEPEND ON THE GOODNESS OF OUR 

 CAULIFLOWER SEED 



No eff"orts are spared by us to obtain the very finest and most uniform stock of Cauliflower. Our 

 Danish growers, by generations of experience, backed by ideal climatic conditions, are producing a 

 product which is beyond all efforts of their competitors. We know the importance of good seed to 

 the commercial grower of Cauliflower, and we are not compromising ourselves in any way. We be- 

 lieve our product will stand comparison with anv, regardless of price. — F. C. S.
