Earliest Snowball Cauliflower 



One ounce of seed will produce about 8,000 plants 

 A pure and dependable stock of this extra-early variety 



Days to maturity, 122. We offer this as one of the finest strains of Earliest Snowball available. 

 The plant-growth is somewhat restrained, as is the case with most extra-early types, and the leaves 

 and heads are slightly smaller than the remarkable stock of White Mountain described opposite. 

 Its pure white head forms quickly, is of very fine texture, and will range from 6 to 7 inches in diameter. 

 ' 'Shift" is practically unknown with this stock, regardless of weather conditions. Leaf-stalks in the 

 head have been practically eliminated. There is very little yellowing of the head, even when not 

 covered, and, as is the case with White Mountain, it is unnecessary to tie the leaves of this variety in 

 order to blanch it. The breaking of one or two leaves over the head will keep it a pure white. (This 

 is not the case with inferior stocks of Cauliflower.") The compact habit of growth of Earliest Snowball 

 permits close planting, an important feature, especiallv for greenhouse production. Price, delivered: 

 Pkt 25 cts.: l~ 2 oz. 80"cts.; oz~. $1.50; 1 4 lb. S6; lb. $24.
