IN order to do one thing very well we are now concentrating our effort on Cauliflower to our strain of Early 

 Snowball. Early Snowball ^Stokes) is giving very genuine satisfaction wherever it is planted. We recommend 

 it as being one of the very finest available stocks. Many of our customers have said it is not surpassed. We 

 are discontinuing our stock of White Mountain because it has not met all of the requirements of this climate. 

 In its own European field it seemed to be unsurpassed, but because it has not been entirely successful here, we are 

 discontinuing it. 



Cauliflower is essentially a cool season crop and cool nights are required for its proper development. The 

 vast majority of Cauliflower in this country is matured in the fall, in which case the seed is planted about the middle 

 of May, — plants being set in the field about the middle of July. For the spring crop, plant the seed in February 

 and set outdoors as early as possible. 



Early Snowball (Stokes) 



Outstanding features: 



Depth of head. Extreme 

 earliness, pure white color of 

 head, complete absence of 

 "pearling" 



Early Snowball (Stokes) is one of 

 the purest strains offered in this 

 catalog. Customers' reports appear to 

 be unanimous in considering it a very 

 superior stock of Cauliflower and one 

 which is consistently giving complete 

 satisfaction and generous profits. Its 

 record in various parts of the United 

 States and Canada during 1927 has 

 been most remarkable. One experi- 

 enced cauliflower - grower writes us 

 "The Snowball is the finest stock I 

 ever saw."
